OP here. Here were my needs: - I need to get into the habit of using it every day. - I need to like using it. For me, a lack of friction is vital. - I need something flexible enough for me to add extra detail if I need it (e.g. notes) or change my workflow as my situation changes. I found that a plain text file works very well for me. I always have my terminal open, editing a file is quick, and I can store notes with tasks easily. I don't need my list to look beautiful -- I just need to be able to pull it up no matter where I am. Specifically, I'm using the system Jeff Huang describes here: https://jeffhuang.com/productivity_text_file/ https://jeffhuang.com/productivity_text_file/ [edit]: And going up one step, there's the meta-issue that there are, what, hundreds of to-do apps to choose from? Frankly, I found myself paralyzed by options.
