Digital bujo vs paper, one made me actually stick with it

Tried paper for 4 months in Seattle, kept skipping days because I hated my handwriting. Switched to a tablet setup and now I'm 9 weeks straight. Is the ritual of paper worth the friction, or are we just gatekeeping the method?

Ha, funny how that works out! I mean, maybe it's just me but I could see the exact opposite being true for someone else. The whole point of a bujo is that it forces you to slow down and think, and if you're blasting through 9 weeks on a tablet, are you actually doing that, or just checking boxes? Idk, I feel like handwriting is ugly for a reason, it's a snapshot of your brain at that moment, not some polished thing to look back on. Paper also gives you that memory boost from physically writing, which is a real thing, and if you're skipping days because you hate your handwriting, maybe the real issue is chasing perfection instead of just making the page work for you.
