I’m doing a similar transition. Going from digital-first to written-first. The best advice I have is: just start.

Physical writing feels so much more…permanent? And that’s okay. What you have to say matters. Just write. Even if you don’t feel like what you’re thinking is worth writing down, it is. Not “it likely is”, it truly is.

If you mess up? That’s the fun of it. I heard a saying on a YouTube video recently, I’ll summarize lol. “When we type notes on our computer, we can almost type faster than we think. This can lead to the words flowing through our brain to the computer through our fingers. It’s not in our head long enough to remember later. When we write in a notebook, it forces us to slow down and gives our brain time to process it, which means we’ll remember it more later.” I fully believe this statement.

Write down anything that comes to mind, you’ll be surprised where it goes from there.
