I used to reuse the same password on 14 sites, now I keep a paper notebook in my sock drawer

Back in 2019 someone got into my old Yahoo account and sent my entire contact list a link to a fake sneaker site, which was embarrassing enough that I finally changed things. Now I keep a little spiral notebook with different passwords for everything, and yes I know it's not perfect but at least a hacker in another country can't guess all of them from one leak. Does anyone else still write them down on paper, or am I the last person on earth doing this?
