Again, I'm not sure I understand the question. Plans for what?

I'm old school Dec 28, 2024

I'm not sure if it's because I attended school in the 90s/2000s, but the only way to remember something work related for me is by writing it down on paper. I use my phone calendar just for more routine appointments, like the hairdresser.

Depending on their importance and urgency, some are just kept in my head, others go to a notebook or a sticky note...

I understood it in relation to work: how do I plan a translation, a project, a research, anything related to work?

In my case, I use a mix of paper (lists mainly and 1 or 2 sticky notes) and digital (phone calendar, digital sticky notes/txt on the desktop).

Paper I use it often when I'm doing something else, watching TV or whatever, and an idea/troubleshooting appears on my mind; otherwise, I use digital sticky notes/txt just as a reminder of pending things.
