I have a similar experience to you. I run org-mode on my office computer and home computer and synchronise the files via USB drive and Python backup script. After using an A5 sized notebook for an almost paper-based system, I decided to be as close to 100% orgmode as possible. I treat org-mode as my primary system and anything I capture on paper gets transferred to org-mode when convenient. I bought an A5 sized (5.5 x 8/5 inches / 14 x 21cm) student diary - one week to an opening with the 7 days on the left and a page for notes on the right. I use this for note taking and writing in very important dates, but I still refer to the org-mode file as the master reference. This diary cost $3.50 ... quite a bargain. My other idea capture and note taking tool are 3 x 5 inch system cards. I cut up scrap paper into this size and keep several handy in my shirt pocket and a pencil. I can jot down notes any time and transfer what is important when I am back at the computer. Printing a weekly agenda from org-mode is a handy motivational tool. I make it a game/challenge to cross everything off the list. The act of crossing something off a printed list is more rewarding and motivational than C-c C-t d (DONE) in org-mode :-) Charles
