I was jumpseating an Australasian carrier over the Indian Ocean, and the flight crew were writing down and crosschecking waypoints and freqs on a legal pad. They noted it was both to stay focused as well as make sure the right data was in the computer. Yeah, you can still doze between checks, but beats just reading.
