How do you organize yourself? (Or do you?) (discuss.online)

I have tried a couple of different "daily planner" type strategies (Bullet Journal, etc...), but none of them seem to stick. I'm looking for ideas on how others are able to organize their daily/weekly/whatever to see if any of them would make sense for me (or maybe even trigger inspiration to take parts from ideas and make my own). I'm pretty sure whatever I go with would have to be digital (carrying a physical notebook with me was part of the reason Bullet Journal didn't work), but I'm not opposed to trying an analog technic again. Also, depending on the strategy I could probably "convert" it to digital and use Obsidian or another tool (I'm an iOS user).

I have a (or multiple) paper notes on my table to my left, where I write down stuff. I often separate them into columns or paper notes of "today", "todo", etc.

At work, I have a text file with sections and bullet points (one-liners) for Critical today, Maybe/Opportunity today, and todos/backlog. That serves as a personal list and for "to check" or "small things to do" notes in addition to our task ticket system (with planning, descriptions, and assigning, etc; for Software Development).

More broadly, I'm okay with noting stuff down, and not really using it that much. It varies quite a lot whether I am able to tackle them or not (procrastinate/evade). But that's okay.

I also don't get a feeling of accomplishment when check-marking or striking through done items, which some other people seem to get. So it's more of a write stuff down for more structure and offloading from my mind, and to get a better overview.

Thanks. That's actually a bit helpful. I think I'm similar to you on the "tick the box" feeling
