Most comments are focusing on the physical pen and paper aspect of this post, but are missing the underlying principle:
The author uses pen and paper because when they sit down at a computer they end up shifting to "function mode" where they're implementing rather than designing.
That's it.
The important takeaway is to make sure you don't fall into the trap of implementing when you should be designing. How you maintain that balance is up to you.
