Does anyone else return to paper periodically

My handwriting has indeed gotten worse, and I can type way faster than I can write. But I use some little pocket notebooks throughout the day, more as a kind of scratchpad—jot down a URL, or call back number, etc. I use the info within minutes, then never look at it again.

At the same time, I have taken to stashing electronic notes for things I no longer trust my memory to recall but know I’ll want again. The name of the owner of a restaurant, software tricks, etc. Combined (deteriorating handwriting and memory), this begins to look like an age-related issue!
