The answer is obvious: a clipboard! It's rugged and inexpensive.

I've actually done this a few times, when I've been using Org to
organize event management and was out of the office all day long.
Printed out my daily agenda in the morning, made notes on the clipboard
throughout the day, and entered changes into the computer at the end of
day.

It's remarkably calming. It's nice just to have something physical to
look at.
