Makes you look smart in meetings, “If we do X before Y, Z is gonna slip at least two weeks”, even though X may only be 1-2 days. Need to quickly prioritize one project above the others? Drag it to the top and in a few seconds, all your other project timelines are recalculated. LiquidPlanner has a scheduling engine that runs Monte Carlo simulations on all your projects and is nothing short of pure gold. LiquidPlanner - Going off the deep end a bit here, but if you need something more complex, this one is clutch. Obsidian: Only use tasks for work, generally added to the top of meeting notes, typically action items, nothing too complex or multi-step.īasecamp - Personal stuff (see above, for people in your life don’t share your enthusiasm for learning new apps, this is easy-peasy to use) TickTick’s days are looking to be numbered. TickTick - For those tasks, >Due and when other people in your life don’t share your enthusiasm for learning new apps. Only put in what you really need to do though, or it loses its punch. Due is really good at that for ephemeral tasks. This approach wasn’t intentional and isn’t for everyone, but I’ve ended up with a best of breed/the more the merrier approach.ĭue: Sometimes you need a little nagging. Maybe I have just transferred my obsessions from the digital to the analog? And I needed something I could write quickly and messily with but also write nicely with if I wanted the list to be tidy. I also needed something broader than my typical pen, but not as a broad as a sharpie. I tried pencil, which is what Adam uses, but the ones that wrote super smoothly needed to be sharpened and that was a pain.

* It actually took me some time to find the right combo. I do forget some things now, but the consequences so far have been minor and my load is lighter, which improves my quality of life. Turns out, I don’t need to put every little thing into a system. This is probably due to the nature of my work (design, research, writing, teaching). I used to be all in on OmniFocus and I’ve also used other digital approaches (nearly every one, it’s a hobby, really), but at least right now I see them as a waste of time. I’ve been doing this for maybe six months and my sense of what I have “to do” is so much more manageable. I mostly use crappy paper and a nice pen for these lists.*

I’m using methods described in Adam Savage’s book Every Tool’s a Hammer. I still use Reminders, but it’s more for the “hey Siri, remind me to switch the laundry in 45 minutes” tasks. Todoist just has a bit more horsepower and since I’ve been using it for years, a lot of my workflow is burned into my memory. I just found when things got busy at work and at home, it helped to have everything together in one app utilizing some of the things like filters and kanban view not offered in MS ToDo.Īlso, with Todoist’s natural language input I can enter tasks much faster than with ToDo, so there’s less resistance when I’m in the middle of something and want to quickly enter a task during a meeting or something. I don’t have any major complaints other than usually once a day, clicking on the minimized window in the toolbar would do nothing and I’d have to restart the app.

It’s also free, and working in an O365 environment it made sense to trial it. I let my Todoist subscription lapse and went with Reminders for a few months (personal) and MS ToDo (work).
