I guess my question is…why does this need to be digital?
Digital tools provide a lot more functionality including timely reminders, and the ability to access your information on the go is priceless. My wife and I have gone fully online as well.
I’d say she’s an exception. Did she not like any of the planning apps? There are so many options available, and since schools and colleges use online calendars to assign due dates, copying that information into a physical planner seems like extra work.
I hope your implication is not that digital is somehow “better” than paper and not transitioning to digital is something to work on. Digital apps provide features that many simply do not need to keep themselves perfectly organized. I was a highly technical professional most of my career. I used a simple spreadsheet at work set up like my paper day planner at home which I still rely on.
Use whatever works for you.
In my opinion it doesn’t but teen has no interest in analog/paper planning. We’ve discussed it. I have several times in the past tried to get him to use a paper planner and he won’t do it. He is more open to using digital tools.
I think we all need to move on (me included) from discussing paper when the OP has made clear that paper is a non-starter for her son.

She didn’t need to copy these. She had a HUGE white board where she wrote everything…and it held 6 weeks of things. She needed to see the future and not in minuscule size letters.

“Better” is subjective. But we’re discussing the needs of high school and college kids here, who have grown up with smart phones and tablets.
And no, I certainly am not implying that anyone (let alone grown adults) needs to “work on this” if they’re not using digital tools
