For similar reasons, I ended up sticking to a bullet journal (ish) format after I tried it ~10 years ago. I don't do long-term planning with it, but I have 1-2 weeks laid out in advance, and years of stuff logged. It keeps a record of things done and lived. In terms of planning and task keeping, the paper format also forces me to let things fall off the list if they won't get done after all. I also joke that I'll be the person who can actually answer if one day an investigator asks me "What were you doing on the night of November 22nd, 2019?"
