I use Todoist for my own things, and Trello for collaborative things.
I really love Todoist. It's really simple to enter tasks -- extremely low friction with browser extensions and Android widgets, etc. It has all the features I want in a tool like this -- simple tasks, sub tasks, categorization, tagging, attachments, recurring tasks, prioritization, and apps/widgets/integrations galore. And it's free, or cheap for the pro version (I do pay, like $50/year).
It also gives great flexibility with a simple query language to create custom views/filters. Like work tasks due in the next 3 days, etc.
- swah 3y agoI love the Quick add, but if I don't review soon enough, I will lose the context and can't understand 50% of the entries. Do you take the time to write the task/note properly or try to review soon enough?
- redhale 3y agoI usually add enough detail to know what I meant, but I also regularly triage my "inbox" list at the end of each day to sort things into urgent/important quadrants, and organize into my projects/tags. For me, the low friction is the biggest benefit of the tool -- so many times each day I'll have a thought of something I need to do, and if I don't capture it, I will probably lose the thought. I used to keep a physical notebook with me during the work day, but in the evening, or in the early morning, or while walking to get coffee, etc, I would think of something and be without my notebook. Todoist is always with me, on my phone, computer, or voice assistant.
