I remember when I was in high school as well as in college, I didn't had phone and all the important things I used to write in the notebook. Now the best thing was that I used to remember most of the things which I used to write in the notebook. Now when the smartphone came, most of my writing has been on the phone itself.

But now the problem is most of the things I don't remember at all. Even though I had note down in the mobile, I cannot recall it. Along with that with the phone there is too much distraction. So whenever I was writing my thoughts, some or the other things comes in between and thus my thoughts get flooded with various things. And this is not the case with the notebook, with the notebook you can write your heart out without getting distracted at all.
Now I am trying to replace my smartphone with the notebook. I try to write some of my ideas in the notebook so that I rend to remember them more. We are a consumer as there is so many data to process and we consume so many data which we don't really need ar all. And that's why the mind doesn't store what is relevant. And that's why we are not able to remember most of the important things now a days.
And that's why keeping a note in the notebook is so much important. Along with the phone, we can carry a notebook always with us and whenever a idea comes up, write it down. With writing you are making your mind believe that it is important and thus the mind will keep that information for longer. And along with that since everything is in one place, we can refer to the information whenever we want from the notebook.
