I swear by wooden pencils and 5x5mm graph paper. I have a nice flipboard with a notepad, a pencil, a sharpener and an eraser attached with velcro.
Measured in straight up typing speed, a keyboard is faster but when you're talking note taking mixed with thinking or something that involved equations or diagrams, I can't get anywhere close with a computer. And there are no distractions on paper.
And why wooden pencils instead of a mechanical one? The smell. The smell of fresh shavings from the pencil sets my brain in the right gear.
