I tried everything, starting with Remember the Milk (!) almost two decades ago, to Evernote, Asana, Todoist, Basecamp, Trello, text files on a shared folder, etc. I never was able to stick with any of the solutions for longer than a few months. Each one had something annoying that would distract me from the core goal of getting the work done. I decided to go back to basics, and went to pen and paper. Got a simple (but gorgeous) kit from Ugmonk [1], and I now use it to prioritize my day/week. Ugmonk follows the classic GTD style of Today / Next / Someday, which helps keep you focused on what is immediate / medium term / long term. I still use Trello for brainstorming, and to store things online that I'm working on, as well as archive for comments/screenshots/links, things I need to follow-up on, etc. The combination of Trello for online storage, and a paper-based prio list that is right in front of me seems the perfect balance. I look at Trello a couple of times per week, and write my priorities for the day/week on a Ugmonk card every night. In parallel I'm testing Obsidian as a long term knowledge library. The client app is way better than it was last year, but I still need to create the habit of taking notes everyday. [1] https://ugmonk.com/pages/analog https://ugmonk.com/pages/analog
