I will say though, I’ve found putting pencil/pen to paper and brain dumping to be rather therapeutic at times! In your secret notebook you can even trash that teacher that tried to dissuade you from writing. :D
Well, for me, it’s not that I don’t write because I can’t, or that I don’t want to; I just work with/on/around computers/devices so much that I usually find paper to be inconvenient.
Getting a thing signed by e-signature vs having to print, sign, and mail/deliver a document to someone is just a lot easier for me.
I absolutely can write, and I sometimes find putting pen to paper to be therapeutic, but ultimately I tend to use digital forms of record keeping and note taking, much more than physical copies.
What I would consider is a writing tablet where I can quickly scribble notes into, similar to writing on paper, that then get transcribed into text by OCR or something… I don’t have the money for that.
Oh yeah for productive purposes I totally get you. I haaaate paper ending up on my desk. Especially because it always seems to be things in that weird limbo of “Can I throw this away or do I need to keep it for some reason?” and it just starts piling up everywhere.
I run Paperless NGX on my server now so I can just scan, automatically sort, and shred a majority of mail now lol.
Sooo I run my PaperlessNGX service on my home server, on which the storage drives are in a mirror configuration. But RAID is not a backup! So they’re periodically uploaded to an offsite / cloud service I pay for called iDrive.
When you specify the storage location though, I’m sure you could use something like Borg Backup or any other solution, if you wanted. :)

(Got this idea from The Artist’s Way book. Lol)

I should do this too. By and large there’s no reason to keep paper around anymore.
What do you do for backups?
Heya sorry for the delay. :)
