Is there anyone out there in world who has transitioned from writing paper notes and lists to using an iPad and Apple Pencil? My wife is definitely a pen and paper person, but we end up with pieces of paper all over the place and I want to get her an iPad for her birthday. Do you think she’ll be able to make the transition or will it be a waste?

As a follow up, what is the best note taking app? Ideally something where she could sync the notes with her phone too?

@BipolarArtist I’d like to know, too, but my feeling is that there is no replacement for the physical, paper notes. The pieces of paper everywhere is a feature, not a bug (for me, anyway).

@BipolarArtist well, I guess it depends what the notes are for… for me it’s part of both my coping mechanisms and my creative process to have notes around. 😅

@Apocryphiliac this is good to consider. If that is what helps her think, maybe it’s not the best idea. Right now she is planning our son’s birthday party and she has a checklist on the island in the kitchen with stuff that needs to happen before the party.

@BipolarArtist I have a presentment, and I could be very wrong, but… this is the kind of thing you should first purchase/use primarily yourself, and then you sort of subtly, over time, get her accommodated to the idea and see if it takes… if you just get her a present and imply, “this will help with cutting back on all those notes you habe lying around…” it could backfire. 😅

@Apocryphiliac haha ok I will definitely think about it more. I could always present her with the option and if she is like “nah” then I can return it.

@BipolarArtist indeed you can. I do want to hear what others have to say about this, however!

@Apocryphiliac I appreciate you offering your input! I am definitely not convinced it is the right idea yet. Going to have to think about it more.
