I've heard google task is good but I feel like it doesn't give me all of the flexibility and features that I need. Calender feels way too cluttered for so much information. I like to be detailed, and I like to plan way into the future. Planners only work for a year, plus there's having to rewrite everything if the slightest thing changes. I've seen people use google docs which would allow me the space I need to write up notes for myself for any day in the future, but it can get cluttered, plus I have a bunch of google docs that are for a specific purpose. I thought about having a separate google account just for dates but logging out and logging in seems like so much hassle. I use google keep a lot too, which mine is flooded so easy for things to get lost in there, I do work on cleaning it out a lot but still, I have notes for myself for days, lol. I'm thinking about checking out Notion

I honestly just use the recurring feature on my reminder app for ongoing household tasks. I also use a shared Google calendar with my husband so we’re both always up to date on plans.

Trello!!
We have a shared household management Trello board. It's free to use and works great.
We use it sprint style, so we have four main lists: things that need fixing, stuff to build/make, wishlist, tasks. Then we have the Kanban bins: in progress, done, blocked, car park.
Tasks/ideas/plans get out onto whatever list they need to sit on and get assigned a colour (red = urgent, blue = whenever, yellow = soon, green = done). Then they can get moved around and the colours changed as things get done.
Great thing is we can comment on tasks/ideas/plans easily and attach files/images etc. We can add checklists, attach webpages, and even set deadlines and reminders. The app is good on phones, but it does look better on desktop or tablets to be honest, but the app is good for on the go (eg if the plan is to put up a shelf, I can put a note on there with links to/images of some of the shelves I like, hubby can open them up in B&Q or whatever shop he's in to get the right one).
Trello is (mostly) free too!
I bloody love Trello!! ❤️
Side note: we don't use Trello for our general grocery shopping list though, that's Google Keep because it's just quicker and more streamlined

I use the reminder app and the calendar app and a countdown app. That one’s nice because it’ll tell you “3 days until pool party” “31 days until vacation” etc.

I bought a digital planner called Artful Agenda and it's the only digital system I've even remotely stuck to. Pretty simple, laid out just like a planner. I've never planned something a year out so I'm not sure what your needs are there, I mostly use it to keep me from feeling like I'm downing day to day.
