Notes are great. They give you a feeling of both planning and control. However, every note-taker knows that such a "paper economy" can quickly turn into chaos.
Notes can be a stumbling block, especially in the world of work. This is because often only the note writers have an understanding of the layout, can decode abbreviations or interpret their own handwriting. However, if, for example, the employee in question is absent and the required information is buried deep in the mountain of notes, it simply takes too much time to find it. In the case of customer or even order data, this leads to embarrassing phone calls and - well - a lot of extra time. Not exactly efficient. Under time pressure, an unnecessary stress factor that harbours dangerous error traps for everyone involved. The "6" quickly looks like a "0" and the order form contains the wrong number. If "1600" turns into "1000" in production, that's more than just a minor faux pas.
