A small speaker which also occasionally indicates status.An indicator light to show you the pen’s status.2GB of memory, to record what you write.An infrared camera in the barrel, to capture what you write as you write it.But it does more than that, with several non-traditional-pen parts: The Livescribe 3 smartpen works like a typical ballpoint pen, in that you hold it in your hand, reveal the writing tip (take off the cap, click the spring-loaded top, etc.), and write on paper. I’ve found it to be more helpful than that. I thought that if it cut my daily average note-taking-and-retyping time by even 10 minutes, it would be worth it. With those goals of increased efficiency and less paper in mind, I decided to try the Livescribe 3 pen. But I wanted a faster way to get my notes into electronic form (and I didn’t want to spend time every night tearing apart my notebooks and scanning them). In short, I was not willing to give up using paper for notes. There are times when paper works better-sometimes far better-than taking notes on a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone: client meetings, phone calls, on the road, or a plane, or when the battery is running low!.It is often less distracting to me, and to the person I’m talking with or listening to, to take notes on paper.I find that I remember things better when I write them down-and there are studies supporting this, such as this one (Mueller and Oppenheimer, 2014) and this (Mangen and Velay, 2011).I like a physical record of some things, such as notes from client meetings.I find several benefits to taking notes on paper: But paperless doesn’t necessarily mean zero-paper. I imagine most of us have heard of the benefits of a paperless office: portability and accessibility of documents, searchability, reduced expense of storage, reduced risk of loss with redundant backups, security (still need electronic security), and more. The downside was that I would spend up to an hour every day retyping my notes into my law-practice management software, so that they would be text searchable alongside each record of a meeting, phone call, or note on a project. I’d found, in my practice, that I tended to take notes on client meetings and phone calls by hand, as that was less distracting to me than using a laptop or mobile device. I decided to try it earlier this year, because it seemed like it could save me some time. Any high-tech or low-tech tool that helps us to be more efficient is something just about any attorney (or anyone else) will appreciate.

For attorneys, efficiency helps us be both saner and more profitable in our practice. We’re All Pressed for TimeĪttorneys, and just about everyone else, seem to be short on time.

This post describes why I decided to try the Livescribe 3 smartpen see how it works and how I use, what I like about it, and what needs improvement. I’ve been practicing as a solo attorney for more than a couple of years now, and like all attorneys (or at least, all readers of this blog!), I like to find better ways to do things.
