<p>Taking notes on a laptop slows one down. You have to use P&P without a doubt. </p>
<p>I know my sons use the cell phones for calendars but the truth is they don’t use them effectively, without me reminding them of things they would clearly miss them, so I STRONGLY urge young people to go low tech and get a decent paper calendar that flips open. </p>
<p>We have computers and software for crunching numbers and composing papers. Use computers when needed use low tech for everything else. </p>
<p>We, that is to say I, back up on my home and work computer. That is a double safe back up. I then occasionally back it all up on an external hard-drive. That gives me three ways not to loss years and years of work and files, such as screen plays and pictures, that are virtually impossible to recreate if lost. </p>
<p>I probably need 1-2 more places to back-up in the event of a catastrophy such as a hurricane which could destroy my home and office.</p>
