I've tried many, many task + notes apps and I've settled on the following simple analog system: a small spiral bound weekly appointment notebook where that I use to keep track of what to do and a larger spiral bound lined notebook where I can write notes, doodle, do mockups, and work through algorithms. It works for me.
- danneu 15y agoExact same system, here. Little notebook for general calendaring, big notebook for specific tasks, note taking, sketching, etc. And liberal use of checkboxes on both to trigger my OCD reward pathways. I find computer apps to be counter-productive to me. Having another "screen" in addition to my computer monitors gives me that import mental swap from task management to execution. Then again, maybe I just like watching myself write.
- savrajsingh 15y agoI too have the small notebook and big notebook system (let's call it SNBN). The small notebook is a to-do list, the big notebook is for free-flowing ideas. Online I've tried a notebook in Google docs, a tasks spreadsheet, and workflowy, but nothing has jumped out as the clear winner.
