I don't. I like to just take things as they come.

TL;DR Emacs org-mode. A private git repository containing my org files synced with my devices with syncthing, it's a git repository because I commit and push once or twice a month in case I lose all my devices at once, (very unlikely, but... the TAO of Backup http://www.taobackup.com/ http://www.taobackup.com/). On Desktop, I use Emacs (well spacemacs), on mobile Orgzly, to manage the actual work, there are still some glitches, but I stumbled upon this https://blog.viktomas.com/posts/my-workflow/ https://blog.viktomas.com/posts/my-workflow/ recently and I'll see how to integrate all this in my own workflow. https://opensource.com/article/19/4/calendar-git https://opensource.com/article/19/4/calendar-git Edit: Seems there's already a blog post about something like what I'm using. https://hiepph.github.io/post/2017-11-24-emacs-org-syncthing/ https://hiepph.github.io/post/2017-11-24-emacs-org-syncthing...

  IMHO, Restyaboard is better. It is more like a self hosted Trello.

I am using Restyaboard to organize my to-do list, which is very good.

Now that I stay home all day, I use my whiteboard notecards[1], neodymium magnets, and a whiteboard. I plot them out on a 2-dimensional axis of: - Impact within the next 2 weeks * certainty of that impact. - Scope of the task * Difficulty of making an increment of progress. I then hopefully pick the tasks with the highest impact per effort.

I use google sheets. I find it more easy that using complex todo lists. - https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9310268#1.1 https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9310268#1.1 - https://medium.com/benjamin-dada/tutorial-how-to-build-your-own-beautiful-todo-list-sheet-e917f8c7670b https://medium.com/benjamin-dada/tutorial-how-to-build-your-...
