The success of our day is largely dependent on the quality of our planning. Some people prefer to make a list of upcoming tasks in a notebook, while others have long started using digital technology solutions.
Do you use some calendar app like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Fantastical that sync across all you devices and plan tasks like that?
Or maybe you prefer note taking apps like Notion, Evernote or Trello to track you tasks and their execution?
Or do you still use the traditional block-note approach as for some people no app will ever be as flexible and easy to use as pen and paper?

For planning I use the free ismart.life application, there is a demo that does not require registration. Hope this will be helpful.
I use Google Calendar for scheduling, Google Meet for meetings, Notion as daily journal and set reminders and Trello for project tasks because of my company.
I don't need more tools to plan everything, what I need is time, focus and workforce to accomplish it.
Well, I’d like to recommend ProofHub as it simplifies the way teams manage their day-to-day work. From planning tasks and projects to collaborating with remote team members, keeping things organized, and delivering projects on time - ProofHub has got all the features that you need.
To-do lists, Custom workflows, Group chat, Gantt charts, Discussions, File sharing, Online proofing, Time tracking, Reporting, and so on. With ProofHub, you won’t feel the need for using multiple tools for all this. It even has a built-in Calendar to solve your scheduling problems. It integrates with apps like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Google Calendar, iCal, FreshBooks, and more, to bring all your scattered data in one shared space.
You can try it once and see it for yourself.

Mostly Trello for a long term projects, sometimes google docs for tracking documentations i will use on the project and old fashion paper/pen for taking notes after my work hours.
I think is a good idea to have a notepad at hand when you are relaxing your mind and the ideas come up.
GitHub boards for project tasks, trello for business level tasks.
Google Calendar for general/granular scheduling of work and private
I found myself using a paper calendar even though I had a touch laptop, so a few years ago I created Ink Calendar for Windows (InkCalendar.com) and use that to plan and organize my time, usually on a weekly or monthly basis.
Other than Ink Calendar I also use Outlook.com. Dragging To-Dos from the sidebar onto my calendar is a nice feature for mixing tasks and scheduling.
At work I use Outlook (desktop client) and Teams.
Todoist mostly for planning both personal and project works!
Nice approach dividing tasks via categories! 👍
Event/meeting management: Microsoft Teams. I've used it for team stand ups and ad-hoc calls—it does the job okay (but it’s difficult to scroll up more than a few messages at a time).
Todos and other notes: org-mode on Emacs. I can prioritise items, set todo status, make repeatable tasks, and I can view all of this at a glance with an agenda view. I used to have a pen and paper setup, but it was eating up space on my desk.
