A Leuchtturm notebook and the Bullet Journal method!
Can you elaborate on this? I am interested in how this works
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.
I like to hack on my own modular planning system called Task BATL. It was specifically started to deal with issues around workaholism, burnout, procrastination, and lack of values-oriented planning. It works on paper or in digital format...I generally use markdown and a syncing service, along with fsearch and some editor tools/snippets. But sometimes it's nice to move to paper especially for the Rebasing activity, as…
Interesting idea’s on that link. I eventually did away with todo lists. I do have points written down, but usually I just have one big item I need to tackle for the day but takes 2-4 hours to do, one small one (1 hour usually) , and the rest is optional. This allows for more flexibility depending on my energy levels.
It's simple in essence but expandable as required, and a great UX (though perhaps trending a little towards busyness as it grows commercially unfortunately).
One thing led to another and I ended up scratching my own itch by creating a web app [1] which lets you edit a locally saved text file. It is a simple tool with some niceties of tabbed browsing, `#tags` and `[[backlinks]]`.
Before someone in the comment asks if I have tried xyz tool and the answer is - yes I have, but I wanted a fast web app that allows local file editing and is also fun to build as a side project.

My "master" Todo list in a simple text file.
Proprietary freemium, but I love it. It works offline, it works on linux and windows, it works on my phone...
It's basically a hierarchical set of todo trees, with a nice IU, sync, dates, hilightning, checkboxes, titles and tags. They recently added templates.
The search is excellent as it can filter by color, tag, dates... And you can favorite anything into the menu, including a search.
The keyboard shortcuts are are lacking, so I complement it with autokey.
Swithing between the two periodically every month. I think you just get tired of looking in many tasks in the same interface, that's when I do the switch :)
Org mode has been simple and adaptible for me. I can write plaintext if need be, it's easy to organize tasks and hide superfluous or outdated information. Org mode isn't the end all of personal organization, but its 10x alternative would require a sophisticated UI.
Organice[0] is also worth a mention as a mobile UI. [0] https://organice.200ok.ch/
Each morning I add 5 or so tasks at the top of it with some breaklines separating today's from yesterday's.
Most days I don't even reference it, but it is helpful to get focused in the AM and make sure I am intentional about my focus across the past few days.
