Funny but I am a big fan of paper notes because paper notes exist off the screen. Right now I have 5 virtual desktops, probably 4 IDE windows, maybe another 5 command line windows, a Copilot Window, an RDP window to log into a computer (which has about half as many things open right now but sometimes has more), Slack, Outlook, a few Firefox windows, a Chrome window, an Edge window (I'm a web developer so I am checking different web browsers, using the dev tools, all of which means... more windows)
Many of those windows like the IDE and the web browser windows themselves have tabs.
The last thing I want to supplement my attention is another application where I have to think (1) which computer? (2) which virtual desktop? (3) which window? (4) which tab? Paper notes are privileged though because they are right in front of me.
