[Notion] Enhance monthly calendar view to track daily work history

I’ve been researching various Mac-compatible software that I could use as a to-do list and work journal, and Notion seems like it could be a good fit for my needs. But poking around in this sub today, I’m seeing many complaints about recent changes to Notion, particularly with its AI ruining things. Could those who are familiar with the pros and cons of using Notion as it runs now please give me advice as to whether to get in the pool anyway (I’ve never used Notion before, so I’d be starting from scratch) or to go look for something else instead? My must-have criteria: \- something either that is paid once or is free, no subscriptions \- a monthly calendar view that tracks what I did each day, so I can see my work history at a glance \- a daily area to set my intentions for the day and then journal my thoughts about how it went \- keeps what I enter in perpetuity rather than deleting old data after a certain timeframe \- has a good search engine to sort through what I’ve entered, no matter how recent or old
