Why ditch electronic planner for paper planner?

We hate being disorganized. I mean who loves the feeling of missing out on important dates, meetings and celebrations? While the new technology has blessed us with newer ways of organizing our lives, the archaic route of paper planner is something that a lot of people miss.

Every December, a number of people enter the book stores to buy a planner for the next year. Some of them buy it just for the joy of writing while some buy it out of sheer necessity.

So how exactly does a paper planner help you? Let’s find out.

  1. You never have to find plug points, chargers or electricity to write a new entry. Paper planners work best with pens or pencils which can found almost everywhere.
  2. It is less rude to pull out a paper planner in public to scribble in an entry. On the contrary, it may project you as keen, observant and interested in the other person when you decide to take a note on your planner.
  3. A vast number of companies who deal with planners are supporting a number of causes. Hence, by buying one you are doing you fair share of charity.
  4. Paper planners can be conversation starters. A funky print, a cool design or anything that catches the eye can land you in an engaging conversation.
  5. Paper planners make excellent diaries. You do not need to maintain a separate journal to feel in the details of the day. A planner is just what you require to cherish the sweet memories even after 20 years.
  6. The unique smell of new planner and pages is instantly refreshing. This smell can stimulate to write more.
  7. Writing sharpens your memory. Not only that, you are able to retain better what you have written than what you have typed.

The power of paper planners is something that can never be matched. Hence, it is time to ditch that electronic planner and switch over to a new paper one to remember how lovely the days were.
