Ask HN: How do you manage your tasks?
I'd like to know what tools, methods, workflow you usually use for managing your personal tasks (house-related, job-related, appointments).
- MildlySerious 4y agoI'm still at the beginning of figuring this out for myself, but I am currently having some success just using Obsidian and markdown checklists. I make the list, and as I check off tasks I move them below the unfinished tasks. I always tried to avoid the free-form, text based approach, but I have used a range of tools in the past and they never stuck, for one reason or another. The main ones probably being that they felt incomplete or caused additional stress responses.
- codeptualize 4y agoI use Things3 loosely, mainly for (reoccurring) reminders, also keep my shopping list and things like that in there. I also use it for work tasks, but not a lot, I don't like endless backlogs I will delete things that sit too long. I generally remember the important things. I also use "remind me" in Slack a lot as most stuff arrives there. For me it's often just a case of "postpone till after I complete what I'm doing". I use Google Calendar for appointments, birthdays etc, work wise I'm stuck with Outlook calendar, it's fine, works well to schedule meetings etc.
