A 28-year-old attorney I know continues to use a Monthly 4 in addition to his two iPhones (one personal, one work) plus his two Macs. 
Since he is such a big Apple fan, and seems to rely on his phone and apps for everything, I was curious as to why he was so faithful to the Monthly 4? He said he liked the security of a written record, and to see his whole month at a single glance. He said writing things down helps him to remember them. He is not a fountain pen user, so he doesn’t have the same romance with paper.
Do you use a paper planner in addition to your electronic calendar? If so, how do you manage both that they complement one another? Is one efficient and the other emotionally satisfying?

I am attorney too, and I am also using paper planners. Take notes in every meeting and so on.
Digital planners and notes are kind of “cold” looking. I don’t like to review them after a while.

I used to be a big electronic calendar person, but I tend towards paper only these days. Pen and Paper is much quicker to look up and enter than any electronic calendar.
I had the usual syncing issues, appointments disappearing etc with electronic calendars, it’s got better with iCloud and iCal but paper wins the day for me every time…
The only thing I use electronic calendars for is to print them out as blank templates to put in my planner!

Count me as paper-planner only as well. I keep track of my work hours, any special events, and weather each day. The electronic version in my iPhone gets almost no use except when I’m traveling.
