Switched from a journal to a digital app after 8 years of bullet journaling

I had been doing a traditional paper bullet journal since 2016, but after my shop got busy I kept forgetting to bring it to work or misplacing it on my desk. Finally tried a digital version on my tablet last month and honestly it's been smoother for my daily logs because I can sync notes across devices. Has anyone else made the switch and gone back to paper, or did you stick with digital for good?

Did you try doing a hybrid setup first like keeping your collections digital but still doing daily rapid logging on paper? I went all digital last year for work stuff and it took me about three months before I switched back to a small notebook for my daily tasks. The thing is digital apps make it too easy to just delete things or move them around without thinking. Paper forces you to actually commit to what you wrote down and deal with mistakes. It sounds like your problem was more about having one system instead of figuring out how to make paper work better for your situation.

Is picking a notebook really this deep?

Huh, did you miss the physical act of writing at all?
