I generally use a very low effort approach. I stopped believing the productivity hype a few years ago and returned to methods that preserve my sanity.
As of today, I use 4 tools:
- The reminders app for recurring things, or things with a deadline that I cannot do before/after a certain point. Think recurring payments, keeping various accounts topped up or active.
- A piece of paper with an Eisenhower matrix and short-term notes and scribbles. I recycle that roughly every month.
- Vimwiki in markdown format for long-term notes that I need to refer to.
- A journal to keep track of habits and each day's most memorable moment plus other thoughts as I work through them. Although not so much a tool for workflow, some notes from my monthly piece of paper will end up in there in a more polished form once I took the time to refine the thoughts.
similar boat to you on this. i love paper but found note books annoying because they cant be organised. so now just use individual sheets and a clipboard ao it's easy to write on the go. the sheets can then be organised afterwards and discarded or archived once they've served their purpose.
also find Linear a really nice project management tool for managing tasks that have made it past the paper stage.
