Switched from paper planners to a cheap digital calendar and my whole week stopped falling apart

Used to keep one of those $30 Bullet journals. Loved it. Wrote everything down. Then I'd forget to check it. Missed two dentist appointments in a row. Switched to the free Google Calendar app like 3 weeks ago. Color coded everything. Now I actually show up to stuff. Anyone else find digital just sticks better?

I hit the same wall with a paper planner back in 2018. Switched to a basic digital calendar on my phone and never looked back. I still miss the feel of writing things down sometimes, but showing up on time is worth more than that.

Funny you mention that @murray.spencer, I think the tradeoff is worth it too - a phone reminder is way more likely to actually keep me on schedule than a page I gotta flip to. At least now I don't have to wonder if I wrote that dentist appointment in the right week or not.
