Pen and paper lol
Markdown files and Logseq https://logseq.com/ as the front end. I’ve been using Mardown for over 10 years, and it’s worked for me. Work uses JIRA, but I keep my own notes and copy in them in as necessary.
Todo.txt
And also
Calendar.txt
Jira , mostly. It kind of sucks but it’s what we use.
Sublime text for quick notes.
Some people like notion but I often find it redundant with jira, and it’s often write-only memory.
I track everything private and professional on Notion.
I have dedicated databases for
- tasks, divided by type (reminders, activities, chores), by domain (job, household, politics, writing etc etc), by client, by status
- calls and meetings I have to set up
- credits and debits I have open
- classes and workshops I’m hosting
People ask me to do shit and I do it… unless someone asks me to do something else before I’m done.
emacs org-mode
TickTick
It’s what Wunderlist used to be like before Microsoft bought them and buggered it up, but keeps getting improvements.
I use jira software for task management! It’s just me on the team, so it’s maybe a bit overkill, but I’ve found scrum / sprints to be massively helpful in prioritizing important work.
It sucks jira is in the cloud, but I’m yet to find an open source scrum system with the same features. Taiga.io comes close, but i don’t yet have a reason to switch; i’ve been using Jira for two years with no issues.
We use Asana. At least it’s fast and responsive.
I use an ipad at work and use ajournal to write down my schedule for each day. I like that it pulls in my outlook items and that is easy to edit- write, erase, drag to another day. I don’t like that it’s not backed up anywhere so when i lost my iPad anything not done/documented is lost forever. When i get super freaked out about that i take a screenshot.
In the past I’ve used Spice, RT, Jira at work. Freshdesk free works for home. Also a simple bullet list in Google docs.
Standard notes? They got bought out by proton
I’ve got various text files in Markdown format.
I also use a small CLI program to loosely manage them. Basically, it just creates a new file in a predetermined folder and opens it in my text editor, which I’ve bound to a global shortcut, so it’s just one keypress for me to start jotting something down.
Well, and then it also allows searching through all note files and things like that.A little notebook I carry around with me
This is me, boss comes in with a new task, I immediately whip out my green notebook and start writing as he’s talking then let him know I’ll get to it when I’m done with my current task. I use black for writing out the task and subtasks, red for checking items I’ve completed already, slashing through tasks that are no longer required, or writing notes that come up during the task (like ticket numbers). I think I’m like just below halfway through the notebook I started in February.
