How do you keep the whole homeschool from living in your head?

I can name every kid's next lesson, which library book is overdue, and which subject slipped last week, all from memory. That's not being organized, that's being the single point of failure. I have 4 kids at 4 different levels and the mental juggling is what actually exhausts me, not the teaching itself.

I've tried paper planners (which I end up erasing and rewriting constantly), spreadsheets I rebuild every August, and a couple apps that felt like a second job to keep updated. By May I'm always back to carrying the whole thing in my head.

What actually works for you? Not which app is prettiest, but which one (or which system) you're still using in May when life has happened and the original plan is long gone. Especially if you have multiple kids at different levels, how do you keep plans, records, and the daily flow in one place without losing your mind?
