Planner Dilemma

 Things I have learned about myself: Keeping a planner of some sort is good for me.

Things I have also learned about myself: I really struggle keeping up with them.

Tried a digital task manager Habitca. Worked for a  bit, and stopped checking it.

Tried a Bullet Journal. The ability to push tasks forward if I didn't do them? Great system. I'm notorious for writing things down I need to do and then not doing them, but by the fifth time I write it down again, I'm more likely to maybe do it. Finishing one task out of ten is still one task done.

Bullet Journal wasn't great for planning ahead though; I never checked the "Future" logs to write things in.

Moved into a planner with dates so I could write in future appointments on the date that they happen.

Worked great.

Stopped checking it.

I have plans to invest in an Agendio planner later this year when my current journal style planner is done, but now I'm like "Will I stop checking that too?" 

So I thought that maybe I should integrate a digital planner again? But I really failed at Habitica and that was a very nice little to-do list app. But it also wasn't a *planner* were I could keep track of dates and appointments.

All this to say is I probably need to change something to force myself to actually look at my freaking planners and use them but I have no idea how to make myself do that.

I am still looking into digital apps to use as a companion to the paper journal. Or to replace it.

I don't now. Lol. 

(I would have posted this in the actual journal/planners community but I realized it's way too venty/rambling.XD)
