I went from paper to a tablet for a year (as a challenge), ended up back on paper. My boss got me into using nicer notebooks, and I've been doing it for years (about 6). I then switched to MD files, eventually ending up using Stackedit extensively for a while similar to the tablet effort. Now, between work, hobbies, being a DM; I've given up and spent some time in One Note... and now that's where I've migrated everything. I'm always interested in how others do this in case they've figured something out. I still use a paper notebook as a personal journal, important notes, etc. I also still use a notepad for those daily notes / thinking on paper that you can throw away at the end of the day.

I personally use a combination of Notion for collaborative notes/tasks/whatever, bullet journal for daily notes/tasks, and a markdown based zettelkasten for knowledgebase-type stuff. There's a fair amount of duplicated information, but both Notion and the Zettelkasten or easily searchable, and it's trivial to copy-paste between them.

I really like the paper method for day-to-day stuff, but for research or work-related notes, I simply can't write fast enough to keep up (particularly if I'm trying to capture info from a meeting), and the lack of searchability means I can never fully rely on paper notes as a means of retaining information long-term.
