Shoutout to switching from handwritten notes to a digital system for my volunteer group

I used to track all our volunteer schedules and task lists on paper. It was a mess, I lost three sign-up sheets in one month alone last summer. Then six months ago, I moved everything to a shared Google Sheet with color coded tabs. Now I can see who's covering what in real time instead of guessing. But here's the thing, some of our older volunteers say the paper method worked fine and they miss it. So which way actually helps a group more, the old school personal touch or the efficiency of digital? I'd love to hear what other community groups do for keeping everyone on the same page.

Did your friend try switching to a shared app and have a similar problem?

I just read somewhere that shared apps can sometimes mess with notifications more than regular ones.
