Why do you want track your tasks and accomplishments? Do you do this for yourself or for somebody else (e.g. a manager)?
How do you measure accomplishments and results? Those often are different from the tasks required to achieve them.
I use Remember the Milk for keeping track of personal todos that need to be done by a specific date. When I collaborate with others, it's whatever tool fits the work and the workflow. This could mean GitHub Issues, Jira, or Trello, for example.
Otherwise, I use Bear for noting down particular achievements I consider, well, noteworthy.
- 600frogs 5y agoRE: Why track, I think it's for both: * I want to be able point to past achievements and see the value I'm adding (both for personal well-being and also CV writing/interviewing) * I want to be able to see what I've done in a day/week/month/quarter to see if I'm performing well and delivering what both I and (potentially) my manager expects. * If asked why X hasn't been done yet, I want something concrete to point to so I can provide my reason, without fumbling around for excuses or reasons I can't remember. Is there any reason you chose RTM specifically? I happen to use Bear for my daily notes, but I'm wondering if perhaps just a to-do tracker (Kanban, RTM, whatever) and a single achievements.md file might be better.
- BjoernKW 5y agoI've been using RTM for a long time. At the time, at least, it was one of the best todo apps around. It still meets my requirements. I've tightly integrated it into my processes and automations (via Zapier), e.g. when it comes to automatically creating tasks for things like payment reminders for outgoing invoices.
