In this electronic age, where everything is supposed to go onto our cellphone calenders, or our online diaries, is it very very uncool of me to admit that I love paper?

I love jotting things down- I love index cards, hardback notebooks and random white A4 pages, scattered over my desk, and in my car. Oh, and not to forget sticky notes. I love sticky notes. On my computer screen, and on the dashboard of my car. Yes, I love jotting things down. I doodle, I scribble, and I draw mind-maps. I was drawing mind-maps before I even know what a mind-map was.

I then love to cross things off my list- it gives me immense pleasure in a way that deleting something off my cellphone never will.

I cross things off individually, and then when I have finished all the items on that page, I draw a great big line from the top right corner of the page to the bottom left corner of the page, to indicate that everything on that page is well and truly finished.

Ok, so you could never manage a whole team or a project like this, but for personal productivity, and the 'getting done' of things, I Love Paper.

There now, I said it.
