"Helps me catch slip-ups without feeling overwhelmed by tech stuff."
Yeah, I get that... but doesn't transferring notes later feel like double work sometimes? Still, if it keeps your sanity intact, it's probably worth the extra step. Whatever gets you through the day, right?
I hear you on the double work thing... been there myself. But honestly, sometimes that extra step is exactly what keeps things clear in my head. When I was juggling loan payments and material orders, jotting stuff down first and then transferring it later actually helped me spot mistakes before they became headaches. Like you said:
"if it keeps your sanity intact, it's probably worth the extra step."
Couldn't agree more—sanity first, always.
Do you ever find that writing things down twice makes you second-guess yourself, though? Sometimes when I rewrite notes or payments, I start overthinking and confuse myself more... Curious if that's just me being overly cautious.
I totally get that—sometimes rewriting notes can make things feel messier instead of clearer. For me, switching to a spreadsheet or a simple tracking app helped a lot. It cuts down on rewriting and keeps everything in one place. Plus, I can easily double-check without second-guessing myself. Maybe worth trying out if pen-and-paper isn't cutting it anymore...
"switching to a spreadsheet or a simple tracking app helped a lot."
Agreed, spreadsheets can help, but honestly, they're only as good as your discipline in updating them. I've tried apps too, and while they're handy, I found myself forgetting to log payments half the time. What finally worked for me was setting up automatic email reminders from my bank and then just archiving those emails into a dedicated folder. Minimal effort, less room for error, and no more second-guessing if I missed something...
