Analog Versus Digital

Brian Sutherland • Jun 04, 2025

Did you know that...

Writing boosts commitment

According to Psychology Today, writing things down by hand (like on a physical calendar) increases follow-through by 42%, thanks to stronger cognitive processing and commitment.
 

Digital planning fatigue is real

A Statista survey showed that 61% of users feel overwhelmed by notifications from digital planning apps, with many turning off alerts within 2 weeks of use.
 

People who plan weekly are 33% more productive

A Harvard Business Review report states that weekly planners outperform non-planners by 33% in terms of goal achievement and time management.

It's science y'all!

Check out this academic study published by University of Tokyo proving the benefits of analog calendars over digital. 🔥
"...Researchers say that the unique, complex, spatial and tactile information associated with writing by hand on physical paper is likely what leads to improved memory.
 
'Actually, paper is more advanced and useful compared to electronic documents because paper contains more one-of-a-kind information for stronger memory recall,' said Professor Kuniyoshi L. Sakai, a neuroscientist at the University of Tokyo and corresponding author of the research recently published in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience.
 
Contrary to the popular belief that digital tools increase efficiency, volunteers who used paper completed the note-taking task about 25% faster than those who used digital tablets or smartphones."
