> Firstly, this is a todo app for your life. Existing tools are built around how we work as employees in a company. On the contrary, that's a very recent development. Since the 50s (and earlier) there have been commercial personal systems that are 'to do apps for your life', with this millennium's most famous being GTD aka "Getting Things Done", and last half of last century in the USA being Day-Timer (and similar tiny pre-printed planning organizer lists+calendars+journals). If you squint, most useful 'planners' end up re-implementing some form of GTD, David Allen's "Getting Things Done" which itself had that rich heritage from DayTimer and other paper based systems before it. GTD basically has themes, workflows, and perspectives. It can be implemented in Outlook, Trello, OneNote, RememberTheMilk, Vitalist, ToodleDo, NirvanaHQ, Agenda, or the perhaps too powerful "OmniFocus" which predates most of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day-Timer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day-Timer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done https://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus https://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus https://www.nirvanahq.com https://www.nirvanahq.com Recent changes to iOS Reminders brings it up to handling this cleanly as well. In the list of apps above, two of them seem very much not like the others: OneNote, and Trello. OneNote can do this system using Tasks, Flags, and its tie ins to calendar. Trello can do this because Personal Kanban shares most of the underlying principles with GTD: https://www.personalkanban.com https://www.personalkanban.com Rule 1: Visualize Your Work - You Can Better Manage What You See Rule 2: Limit Work-in-Progress - You Can’t Do More Work Than You Can Handle. End the stress of overload, always know what to do next, communicate better with others, and find the joy of completion. Dumping your list somewhere so you don't stress about forgetting it and getting an unpleasant surprise is half the reward. It's not work to make lists, it's a stress relief! The other half is the dopamine hit of marking an [x] or moving to the Done column. PS. You might be astonished how many apps sync with Toodledo: https://www.toodledo.com/tools/directory.php https://www.toodledo.com/tools/directory.php It's interesting to check out the objects they think are important for a sort of universal personal TODO API: http://api.toodledo.com/3/index.php http://api.toodledo.com/3/index.php
