I also prefer to receive paper statements which also go to a stack as they come in. But I also set up payment reminder 10 days before due day. When the reminder email comes I go to card issuer site to schedule the payment, write on the paper statement the payment details (from which bank on what date).
To me it is much easier than keeps a spread sheet no need to keep up with the spread sheet, just update the Money software on my computer of the transaction.
BTW, the long sunset Microsoft Money software is so much better than all the Quicken / Mint thing. Cannot understand why Microsoft sunset it. You can tell there are still plenty of users in the world using it judging by the activities on the Microsoft online community.
