I use a calendar and reminders constantly. For everything. Anytime someone says something I need to remember, I whip out my phone and create a calendar event or a reminder right then and there.
I use a plain notebook as my calendar / quarterly / weekly agenda. I've used a couple different solutions and this one works best for me. Plus it's more fun to do by hand.
But more to your point, the important part, I think, is that everything goes to the same place. Whether that's a notebook, app, or agenda. Just stick to one thing.
The second part is keeping your promises to yourself. But that's a habit of a lifetime…
I like the idea of using a notebook and using my phone less. I’ll give it a shot.
That was my motivation as well, and it worked for me, so I hope it works for you too.
Not to shill, but I started with Moleskin the weekly planner and really liked that level of detail (some people swear by Leuchtturm, but I didn't love it). They're pricey, but you only need one a year.
Now I just use a plain recycled paper notebook with my own system that is a lot messier and more in keeping with my aesthetic.
Shoot me a DM with how it goes! Would love to hear how it goes for you - even if it doesn't work out.
