On becoming analog again

A new experiment I will start: After years of using a variety of different digital diaries I will make the switch back to a paper diary. Why you may ask?
Out of the following reasons: After typing dates into electronic calendars I never became used to using those small screens for jotting down notes,which always meant i still had to take a paper notebook with me.
Most diaries will remove old appointments to save memory. But i like to look back on what has happened to me through the years and not loose notes added to appointments.

The idea of having an alarm for a date turned out to be an illusion cause most of the time the diaries where muted cause i did not want to be disturbed.

I will not completely drop the electronic version, this would be senseless as it is my phone also and sometimes it is useful to turn on an alarm or have an electronic backup. But i will switch to a paper diary as my primary calendar again.
And I will keep you updated on my experiences.
