Anyone else struggle with this?

I really struggle with any admin task on a laptop. I find it 1000x easier to print everything off and to have hard copies to refer to otherwise I just get completely lost, distracted and stressed out , I find it really hard to read from a screen too. I have had a pc since they first came out and use the laptop daily for all the usual things so pretty tech savvy in a general way. But I have just realised with more complex admin tasks I can not keep track of all the different tabs open or where files and folders are or if they are the ones I need or not. It is so much easier if they are real life files in front of me with real documents in to pick up , read and mark highlights or notes on with an actual pen. Is it just me? Is this a recognised thing? How do people go ‘paper free’ and cope??

I think a lot of people are not as paper free as we are led to believe!

I’ve always used computers and have zero issues. However, I totally understand why others still refer paper.

I receive no paper bills, having opted for digital services as soon as they were available.
