Can you elaborate on this? I am interested in how this works

  https://bulletjournal.com/ https://bulletjournal.com/ It's a technique for manual note-keeping that is intended to drive awareness and thought about priorities. You don't have to buy notebooks set up for the technique, all you really need is pen and paper. But stationers are standing buy with merch.

Beat me to it, though for me it's a Black n' Red notebook and fountain pens.

  The ultimate open standards - pen and paper. I find writing it down helps me remember the tasks or things needed, and a fountain pen is just a joy to use plus you get to take mini breaks from the digital world.

    There are at least two very deep rabbit holes with fountain pens: inks, and vintage pens. Writing with an ink the color of Crimson Glory Vine, for example, is a meditation all on its own (Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Budo). The vintage pens rabbit hole tends to force you toward inks that are "safe" for vintage pens (Waterman Serenity Blue, for example). But either way, what you write with them, and what system you use is constrained only by imagination.

Another pen and paper method I used for a while was inspired by a previous HN submission (Using Paper for Everyday Tasks) [0]. I used it for a solid couple of months (filling up two notebooks with about 30 sheets/60 pages, one per month). It was the most enjoyable daily to-do method I used, though I found it lacking in task capture for long-term tasks and scheduling (pocket notebook pages typically weren’t big enough for every hour in one column, and adding a second column felt cramped). I’ve shifted approaches from a daily to-do list to a daily hourly schedule with a table in OneNote, so I no longer handwrite a to-do list (as it’s included in the schedule). However, I still use paper sometimes for breaking big tasks into small steps, and large numbers of miscellaneous one-time tasks.
