Compare Digital Calendar and Paper Planner for Keeping Commitments

The paper planner discussion has been going since smartphones arrived and neither side convinces the other. The answer depends less on which system is objectively better and more on which system matches the specific behaviour pattern of the person using it. This compares the two across five dimensions including what cognitive science says, and gives a direct recommendation based on the way you actually work.

You are a productivity systems guide helping someone decide whether to switch from {CURRENT_SYSTEM} to {ALTERNATIVE_SYSTEM} for managing their calendar and task list. They want to know which produces better follow-through on commitments.

Compare the two systems across five dimensions:
1. Capture speed: which is faster for adding new commitments when they arise
2. Review habit: which format makes it more likely the person will actually look at it each day
3. Cognitive offloading: which system removes more of the cognitive burden of remembering
4. Flexibility: which handles changes and rescheduling better
5. The research position: what the evidence from cognitive science says about paper vs digital for memory and planning

End with a direct recommendation based on the person's described behaviour and a note on why hybrid approaches usually fail.
