I will try this out as a tool to manage my private tasks. I always wanted something like Jira for my personal life.

That sounds really dystopian. Akin to having a Scrum standup with the kids each morning before school. Do you mean personal programming projects or in general?

  I am using a (home-made) work management software for my personal projects (programming or otherwise). It's just good organization. Allows me to get done more than I would be able to do relying just on my brain. And I can always ignore it if I don't feel like working.

  No, but using it to remind just adults of the umpteen things that need to be done when you run a household with kids would be smart.

  He just means a kanban board to keep track of what's not done, a way to attach notes to tasks, and a backlog. He's not going to assign points to brushing teeth and packing lunches...

    Ye. A good lesson in dishonesty and collective delusion. Honestly, probably a good thing to learn kids how to verbally fake progress and work from an early age and make them self sound helpful and important. As long as they are told it is only OK to lie during Scrums.

You must be fun at parties. Jokes aside, I’ve found the Todoist app really great for managing the chaos that’s my life and making sure the things that need doing get done!

> I will try this out as a tool to manage my private tasks. I'd like to hear more. Do you think that full-fledged issue tracker is a benefit, even if you're not working with other people? My intuition is that if you have multiple tasks in a project, and you're the only one working on them, a simple list should be enough?

Are you a masochist? Just use MS Todo or Apple Reminders or something. That's all you need for personal stuff and it costs a grand total of zero.

As an alternative to dedicated planning tools, you could try simple journalling to eke through your thinking. Just create a github repository (privately if you want) and update a README.md file and journal at the end chronologically or reverse chronologically depending on how you think of your journal. I've been doing this since 2013 and it really helps me get things done. Because it's the ONE place you go to to plan and see what you need to do, you don't have to remember hundreds of different buckets where information goes and is forgotten. It's all there in one place.

Who would you escalate to if you run out of capacity to wash your dishes in your current sprint? :-) Joking aside, how would you use this tool for your private tasks?

  Buy a house and you now have 100 odd jobs a year to do. Start with that.

    If the OP had said private projects, I would agree but he mentioned private tasks. So I imagined him using the tool for daily chores and such. but I think your statement make more sense.

I know it is owned by Atlassian now but Trello is a very nice tool for this. I've been using it for more than 10 years now to track personal todos and projects. The phone app is also smooth and to the point.
