My “paper brain” (planner, address book, songbook) is also typeset with ConTeXt. I keep my addresses in a MySQL database and use a Python script to write ConTeXt code. Another Python script calculates my calendar (including moon phases), reads some lists of holiday, birthday and appointment data and writes TeX code again. The songbook is made of ConTeXt component files with LilyPond scores. ConTeXt's imposing feature let me collect several planner pages on one A4 sheet. The remaining nasty work is cutting the printed paper. One time I should write a report about all that (but I'm always planning a lot)...
