Could not agree more.

If you need an app, Google Tasks is simple enough that it is "like paper".

I use an app for collection but keep weekly and daily focus lists on a single piece of paper on my desk (top sheet of notebook or whatever).

I find this is a nice combo of quick capture and organized storage with the immediacy and focus paper brings, plus I like writing by hand.

I no longer use obsidian. I found I was messing with it instead of just using it. This is also why I don't use emacs, etc. I want to get things done, not fiddle with "my system". I do love it as software, though, so I keep coming here. :)
