Bullet journal explained
Entries are written as rapid logging: a dot for a task, a circle for an event, a dash for a note. Unfinished tasks are migrated forward by hand, which makes you decide if they still matter.
Because it is just a notebook and a pen, it adapts to any routine and keeps screens out of your planning.
