A Girl Named PJ

Print or digital?

January 22, 2014

I had to laugh at this 1981 news clip after seeing my dad read the New York Times on his iPad this weekend. We take for granted how easy it is to flip through our favorite newspapers and magazines online nowadays. Not the case 33 years ago!

Sometimes I imagine how much simpler my life would be if I canceled all of my print subscriptions and solely read the digital versions. We have stacks and stacks of unread magazines in our kitchen and living room that just create clutter. Digital magazines would keep the house neater — plus, I wouldn’t be tempted to tear out articles for “future reference” that I never actually remember to reference.

(What do people really do with all those tear sheets?)

Have you transitioned to digital magazines and newspapers? Or are you still partial to print?

PS – That time I met the Better Homes & Gardens team at Alt Summit one year ago.

    I’m partial to print, but I have learned to “pin” the things I like from those tear pages to cut down on clutter!

      Print offers such a different experience than digital, I agree! Do you literally pin your tear pages onto a bulletin board? Or do you find those same things online and then pin them to Pinterest?

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!  On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope. Tomorrow we work from home/homeschool our kids so its cereal for everyone!  #onedaycv #covidquarantine
