Ask HN: How do you manage your todo list?
- ssss11 5y agoFor personal - Trello boards per subject. For work - paper. Cross an item out when it’s done.
- kingkongjaffa 5y agoA mix of a whiteboard on my wall by my desk, emacs-org-mode and a bullet journal. In org mode I keep one big log.org file with sections split by month, projects get their own sections. I used to use Evernote and todoist and trello.
- SirensOfTitan 5y agoI used org for tasks and notes for a long while, but just switched to todoist and Obsidian. I love emacs, but I’ve always felt a sense of friction in it when dealing with notes and tasks. I think I spent more time tinkering and less time using.
- smoldesu 5y agoThat's the exact same setup I've got! I'm looking to drop Todoist though, hopefully the next elementary-planner update gives me some more options for syncing my tasks.
- mr-karan 5y ago+1 for same current setup. Although, as much as I'd like to use a single app for Notes/Tasks, the scheduling+ quick notes capturing in Todoist is unmatched for.
- approxim8ion 5y agoI'm using TickTick. The free tier is pretty good.
- throw03172019 5y agoI was using Asana before. But now I just use Notion with a checkmark list.
- aeze 5y agoEvery morning I write ‘standup notes’ (including non-work related items), and in those I keep a rolling list that carries over from the previous day.
- isbvhodnvemrwvn 5y agoI have a list of long-term TODOs per topic, as well as weekly and daily lists. Tasks have topic, description, due date. Every Monday, I dump into the weekly TODO list every task which has to happen that week, plus whatever I think is reasonable to do otherwise. From the weekly TODO list, every day I take some topics to the "today" list. All the things with a strict deadline have a calendar entry associated with them. If anything pops up during the day, it goes to the daily or weekly TODO list. On Fridays I see how much of the list I managed to do, how many items came in, where they went. The remainder of the weekly list goes into the relevant topics list. If I have a lot of stuff left over from the Monday's dump, I try to figure out why it happened and what I can do to plan better next time. This way I don't have long-term topics mixed with short-term ones, which I found is of great help. I avoid pulling tasks from the topic lists into weekly list if there is something else that needs doing and is not blocked. This has worked for me reasonably well, I use the same system outside of work.
