i have the most simple note taking solution, which also doubles as my knowledge base.
I have a git repo, filled with folders. Organized organically. Sometimes I put "tags: todo" at the top.. so I can grep for it.
Other than that, I'm well aware of what i need to be doing without looking. If i have a lot of tasks I can't manage mentally, put make a todo list in org or just plain text and plug away at 'em.
I've wanted better tools but this workflow has worked for years. I use both emacs and sublime text to edit the notes.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoI have a fairly small (but important) set of daily practices, like a 5K walk, every morning, combined with a slightly larger set of “heuristics,” like drinking water all day, standing at a desk, working in small, discrete steps (about hour-long chunks), etc. But my “to-do manager” is a small Post-It note pad on my desk. It’s a live-action Kanban board. WFM, YMMV.
- bongobingo1 4y agoHow granulated are your tasks?
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoFairly fine-grained, short-term. The pad is for my daily programming tasks (and sometimes, other stuff). I keep “the big picture” in my head. It is not “watertight,” but it allows me valuable slack time, and I get a lot done.
