alt Hacker NewsWriting things by hand leads to better retention, but if you can't remember it...yeah you'll have a fun time finding it again if you have a nontrivial amount of notes and haven't spent a significant amount of time indexing them.
I guess you could OCR them. Best of both worlds.

You can't OCR handwriting. There are some AIs that do claim handwriting recognition, but I've yet to find a single one that can read my notes.

I stopped using my Remarkable because I couldn’t read my own writing on it. I have have no problem reading my writing when I write in a physical paper notebook (well, fewer problems). But the resolution either for capture or display on the remarkable makes my somewhat messy writing impossible to read.
So, it’s not only if you can’t remember it… you also have to be able to read it!
