I started using a planner in grad school. I think it was a Daytimer sort of thing, with lots of pockets, and business card holder, and sections. I kept using that until I started teaching. I talked about my bullet journal journey in my comment to Day 1, I think.

As many people have said above, digital calendars are convenient, but nothing beats the tactility of writing things down. And it helps my memory to handwrite also.

Hard same. I'm the same with notetaking for work. I type my notes afterwards to make them usable and searchable, but I handwrite notes to start with to help with memory retention.
