Ditched the fancy project management apps and went back to a paper notebook

I was spending $30 a month on Asana and Trello and still missing deadlines. Last month I grabbed a $5 spiral notebook and started writing down 3 tasks each morning. It's been 4 weeks and I've actually finished more projects for my Albuquerque graphic design gigs. The apps just made me waste time organizing tasks instead of doing them. Anyone else find that simple stuff works better than the expensive tools?

Lose the backups and be screwed when the notebook gets a coffee spill.

Had a buddy who kept everything in one notebook until his toddler threw it in the bath. Lost six months of project notes and a whole recipe book his grandma wrote out for him.
