How do y'all organize your DM notes? (self.rpg)

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?

I've been using the Zim desktop wiki. It's very simple, entirely local, and uses plain text files to store its contents (so if for whatever reason a decade from now I need to look at old notes and Zim isn't workable any more it's fine).

I poked around with "worldbuilding" programs like Fantasia Archive but I found them to be too specializd. They come with a lot of assumptions about how my world and campaign will be structured.
