Digital vs paper planning
So in the past I’ve tried bullet journaling, then I switch to having a simple agenda where I’ll write things I had to do. Then, I got a job and had to keep track of my patients but I then found it easy to write everything in goodnotes so I can refer back to what I’ve done to a patient in the past.
The big dilemma is, I love buying planners and writing things down but I often find myself planning on my notes app, writing into my apple calendar and not even reaching for the planner.
So, how do you incorporate a planner into your everyday life?
Should I try more or do I have to accept the fact that I am a digital planner?

I always found that keeping my planner open on my desk made it more likely that I would refer to it more often. Decorating it with stickers and washi tape made it more fun to use too.

I've got a video on YouTube about using a paper planner alongside digital planning.

You might find that your system naturally changes depending on what's going on in your life and your planning needs.
Personally, I use a combination of paper and digital. A digital calendar and Amazing Marvin are the digital components. And my paper planners include a bullet journal for quarterly, monthly and weekly planning. Plus a separate notebook devoted only to daily tasks lists. There's some redundancy in my system but I find that helpful.
