My system is people asking me when stuff will be done
If you’re a terminal weirdo like me I’d recommend Taskwarrior
Pen and paper lol
Microsoft ToDo. It works well with the GTD method.
People ask me to do shit and I do it… unless someone asks me to do something else before I’m done.
Todo.txt
And also
Calendar.txt
Calendar as plaintext is cursed.
emacs org-mode
TickTick
It’s what Wunderlist used to be like before Microsoft bought them and buggered it up, but keeps getting improvements.
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.
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.
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.
Jira and mails marked as unread until i have worked through them haha :)
That’s the fun part, I don’t!
(okay maybe a little bit of Jira)
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
