I'm trying to find a way to organize my thoughts and TODOs, and, you know keep track of things. Bullet journaling seemed like a good idea, until I saw the overhead involved. đŸ˜±

What are people using out there, that has worked for them?

@tomchop I was at the same point and tried a few different app options. Todoist seems to have hit all the marks I needed; scheduling, organizing, recurring, grouping together for a “project,” sub tasks, and more. There are a couple of ways I was able to adapt it to incorporate the Eisenhower matrix but I’m still struggling a bit with giving too many things priority one statuses.

They do have a fully functional, fully free version to try it out too. I eventually upgraded to a paid version for myself for expanded capabilities (more labels, projects, etc.) but my teen is still using the free version as they learn how to organize.

Good luck with whichever way you choose.

@DarthSn3ak3rs Do you also use this for dayjob-related things?

@tomchop I do, actually. I have a segment to handle it for work items that aren’t already tracked in a communal ticket or project system. I have daily recurring tasks to review ticket project items so they don’t get forgotten.

The ability at my sub level to create multiple custom views allows me to have a “day” label. So personal tasks that need to be completed during business hours, like scheduling a doctor’s visit, don’t get forgotten because they’re listed under personal and I’m in business. The views allow me to split tasks into their areas but see what I need without being limited by those constraints.

@DarthSn3ak3rs Nice, that sounds pretty powerful. I'll give it a shot! Thanks for taking the time to provide some insight :)
@tomchop No problem. 😁 If you look at it and like it, but are curious how I set some of it up, don’t hesitate to ask. The how-to videos and posts they have are quite helpful and answer a lot of those questions too.
@DarthSn3ak3rs yeah, I just had a quick look and will definitely be playing with “views” a bit more. I’ll keep you posted! :)
