What about writing on a phone? I've been taking a lot of mobile notes and have found it to be a very convenient optimal point between slower, intentional writing vs digital format and accessibility.

you mean, typing/swiping on the phone? Also less useful for retention, I would say. It's only slower than typing on the computer because of the inconvenient keyboard size. But you are still just pressing buttons that are millimeters apart. While handwriting you have to actually make different shapes.

For me, optimal is to use something like OneNote, which you can use with a pen (iPad/Surface), and it recognizes what you handwrite
