I keep all of what happened in one journal, and everything else on the computer. All the maps, the schedules, and the character sheets using a gurps character sheet program (forgot what its called), because I run it through discord using a text format. I hardly plan anything besides what's in my head.

Ive been trying to use different ways to plan besides just pure vibes. like using joplin, or some wiki format or even trying to do use a mindmap? But alas most of what I do is simulating what I believe would happen and keeping character sheets of possible enemies on hand.

So, I'm curious, what do you do?

For planning I used to use Scrivener pretty extensively, but I've since realized I can get most of the functionality I need with markdown, so I've been transitioning to that (mostly using hackmd.io).

During a session I'll usually jot stuff down in a notebook, particularly for things like enemy stats during combat. Then (when I'm feeling sufficiently motivated) I'll transfer that into markdown for writing up play reports.
