I use a Todo app every day, starting in the morning. Almost all of my tasks are recurring, well defined, and relatively short. E.g. "triage email inbox every day", "vacuum house every week on Saturday", "upper body workout every second day", "renew passport every 10 years".
For me this works well, because:
* I don't forget to get things done
* I don't have to think about what I need to do, the app shows me a daily list
* I get a small feeling of accomplishment for every task I complete (gamificaion), and for finishing all my tasks (daily task inbox zero).
It works for me.
- gnulinux 5y agoSame for me. I started very recently but it improved my productivity very sharply (not just work, also hobbies (music) and cleaning). I use habitica (no affiliation).
- xenodium 5y agoI built and use https://flathabits.com https://flathabits.com daily. Keeping habits and todo/tasks list separately helps me prevent the latter from monopolizing habit time. ps. Flat Habits is backed by org (if that's important to you), but this is purely an internal detail if you just want a simple app.
- tantalor 5y agoTodos and reminders are different things.
- pgn674 5y agoWhat do you use as a daily task list app? I'm using TickTick on Android, but daily tasks is not its strong point.
- Forge36 5y agoNot op. I've been using "habits" for recurring things
- tw04 5y agoMS to-do is my go-to. Multi platform and has all the features I need. Open source Linux option is “AO” on GitHub. https://github.com/klaussinani/ao https://github.com/klaussinani/ao
- powersnail 5y agoI use TickTick, and it’s daily task seems to work well for me. I have a “morning check” and a “night check”, each with some sub-tasks.
- snicker7 5y agoUse org-mode or die.

- Ozzie_osman 5y agoWhat app do you use? I've yet to find something that works really well with recurring tasks.
- HKH2 5y agoI'm not the OP, but Loop Habit Tracker works well for me.

- pengstrom 5y agoMy partner swears by it and uses it a lot.
- qu4z-2 5y agoI use Todoist as well and like it, but I'm not sure I'd say it "works really well with recurring tasks". If you schedule a task as "every Wednesday" then a few weeks later reschedule the task to Friday it doesn't ask "this instance or all of them?" or something. That entire task series is now scheduled for that particular Friday, and once you've ticked it off you won't get any more reminders ever. If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know. :)
- Splatter 5y agoThis is my experience too. In fact I stopped using todoist due to how it handled recurring tasks - which, like you, is a huge part of how I stay organized. For me, "remember the milk" does recurring correctly and is very low friction.
- PikachuEXE 5y agoOh ya the rescheduling for recurring tasks is one of the places that hurts. Would you mind sending a report via https://todoist.com/help https://todoist.com/help? I will do the same now (I didn't as I don't reschedule recurring tasks often)
- PostThisTooFast 5y agoWTF is a "todo app?"
- yinyang_in 5y agoFor me calendar and remainder helps me achieve it. Having calendar for and ideal day really helps me navigate around the day.
- girishso 5y agoIt works for you, because you didn't do what a commenter said elsewhere here. > We keep adding things we "should get to at some point" Maybe it's time for a completely new perspective on TODO lists.
