I used to write everything down on paper, now I type it all in my phone and I'm not sure which is better

For about 7 years I kept a paper notebook in my back pocket for every random thought, grocery list, and reminder, but last January I switched to a notes app on my phone because I kept losing the notebooks. Now I never lose anything, but I also never look at half of what I type, and the paper version forced me to flip back through it. So which one do you all think is better for actually remembering stuff, the paper you can hold or the phone that's always with you?
