I write a lot on here but in reality I write far more on my writing pads than I do on here. I have just found and shredded my writing pads from 15 years back - when things were changing a lot in my life and I was trying to work out what to do next. I haven't read them only glanced at them and just shredded them as they are meaningless now. There's hours of thoughts and ideas written onto paper which is how I discuss ideas with myself!
I write a lot and work through ideas and problems using pen and paper, mainly text although I see a few sketches I did which certainly needed to be shredded! It's all about making sense of the stuff that floats around in my head. As an INTJ it goes with how my mind works and how I analyse things. It's why I was ideal for highly technical tasks when I was younger as I could work my way through huge documents and diagrams and work out how things worked and where there were problems. There was another guy who was also similar to me and he was way faster than I was at seeing problems in wiring diagrams. I'd probably see them but would validate before noting, he could just use a red pen and circle things that "didn't look right"
The stuff that I have now shredded and made room in my office include three files of family history notes now scanned and stored safely, three work notebooks and general odds and sods paperwork lying around. I am hopeful that I can work out what to do with my lovely business books. I doubt I will ever use them so perhaps sell what I can and those that aren't of any use I can take to a place where they recycle books. You can find most things online these days and with AI to help you can focus in on specifics if you so desire.
