I can second this. Digital systems always felt like I was managing the system somehow, whatever it was. They always felt delicate, as if I had to do things a certain way. Paper journaling over the last couple of years has felt so much easier by comparison. I was going through my to-do list yesterday and I just suddenly realised I wasn't even thinking about the system - I was just doing the work. I still work within Obsidian - my resources and annotations and notes are all still in there - but the basics of 'knowing what to do next' are on paper again.
@Leap - Zim Wiki is my digital scrapbook for organizing notes of all kinds. It's analogous to Obsidian, but has been around for longer. I have looked at moving to Obsidian and others, but Zim does everything that I need.
