I want to take daily notes to keep track of my tasks, achievements, thoughts and appointments.

The problem is that every time I start journaling, I'm initially very motivated.

However, after one or two months, I get bored with the app or system and either switch to another one or completely abandon it.

I appreciate any advice or insights.

After decades of trying to find the perfect system, I settled on a searchable notes app (I use Joplin) to dump in everything, and a mind mapping app (I use Xmind) as a day to day log. I keep regular journal entries in Joplin, and anything from Xmind that I want to be able to find later I just copy-paste into a Joplin note. (You can copy a Mmap node, then when you paste it will dump a text outline in.)
