Agreed. I have used many digital note taking apps and systems over the years, but still always carry a cheap pocket sized notebook (size of Field Notes but cheaper and better quality) and a G2 mini pen (mod'd to remove the pocket clip). My pocket notebooks are always dot grid and I use them sideways with two pages open, which makes a tiny note book twice the size (game changer).

For the most part I use a simplified #BulletJournal method of dots and crossed out dots. As with digital notetaking, I've gone through decades of iterations on analog note systems and always came back to simple, cheap, what I can keep in my pocket. So right now it's a pocket note book and pen, or a stack of 3x5 index cards as a #hipsterPDA (more on that here > https://briangreen.net/notsu_cards
