> It's like when Microsoft and Google tried to force text completion on emails, it just gets in the way and makes me lose my train of thought

I have been using a paper notebook to take my notes for a while and I like that I can remember what I scribble spacially.

Recently I decided to also use the notebook to sketch the really important e-mails - the ones you send to people either really high up or that you value a lot but can't reach often - in paper. I have been able to scribble rather quickly in paper and come up with concise but also complete write-ups and also noticed I am happy to not be looking at the computer screen.

I started this because I noticed there was a lot of noise going on when using outlook with all the notifications popping-up and the hard to understand new interface that just scales like ass and becomes unreadable in my 4k laptop, and the autocomplete kept axing my thoughts.
