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?

MS OneNote is my preferred tool for this as you habe an infinite notebook and can doodle anywhere on its infinite pages. I usually have a chapter for rules, NPCs, Fluff (locations and past events), PCs (their history and plot hooks), with pages for e.g. combat rules, 1 page per NPCharacter etc. You can import pictures (and also paste them directly from ON to Discord) and share the notebook (or single pages) with others online.
