CRIMPers = prospective time multipliers?

I used a bullet journal for over a year and found it fairly effective. But three main problems with the system caused me to abandon it: If you lose it, you have no back up. There is no “search” function, and keeping the information adequately indexed is a job in itself. And when you move to a new notebook, you no longer have all that useful information from the previous notebook easily at hand. I’ve tried recreating a bullet journal system with an app, but it just isn’t the same. You lose the tactile experience that makes the paper notebook so pleasurable, and which invites me to keep using it. (Some apps come close: TheBrain and NotePlan are the two best I’ve found for mimicking a paper notebook bullet journal.)
