Balancing analog handwriting and AI dictation for different note-taking purposes: reflection versus efficiency in knowledge capture
19 Nov 2025
We live in an interesting time because the AI dictation has got to a level now that it's kind of a solved problem. And if you want to just sit there and talk for 15 minutes, sometimes you're going to surface ideas that you wouldn't with pen and paper because we often edit ourselves when we write out longhand. And that is absolutely valuable. But we just did a whole show on analog because I think that process is valuable as well. They're different. But I think deploying both of them is the smart way to go because there are some things where you want to kind of clarify your thoughts, talk through it, even have the AI try and organize it for you. Just don't have it think for you. And, but then there are times when, you know, getting, I've got, you can't see it. I've got a writing desk behind me and just like physically pushing my chair over there, getting away from the screens. That really.
