You gotta try to make a perfectly spaced dashed line down the page, as fast as you can. It's a bit of a challenge and get all the I's out of the way. Then the teacher can't say boo.

    I basically don't write anything anymore. So no matter how "lazy" it might be, a dashed line like you suggest is a skill issue that I couldn't master at age.... 7?

    I still haven't because I don't put pen to paper often, if at all. If I need to write 100 lines of the same thing, that's what copy/paste is for.

    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

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

    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.

    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. :)

    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. :)
