    I’ve been meaning to find a todo app, but I always forget. I have no way to remind myself. It’s a viscous cycle.

        I’ve been meaning to learn how to spell vicious, but I can never remember to do it. It’s a viscous cycle.

      I hit reply to write something similar myself, but I forgot what it was. I wish there was a way to retrieve the things that fall out of my brain.

    I go around telling people my intentions, and then query them 100 times a day about what I should be doing at any given time. If they stop responding then I spam them with emails demanding updates, and if they block my emails then I go to their houses.

    I’m very productive.

      Same (wrt that last part). Trying to find one that works but it’s honestly exhausting after years of seeing them all be pretty much the same. And I can’t really articulate what it is that would make it be the one for me. I know I’m not helping in any way here, lol

    I use Trello to manage several lists (recurring daily, Tuesdays only, one-offs, etc) and reconcile them into a daily plan each morning

    I just use the reminders app on my iPhone, I tried a bunch of other apps. But it was the integration on my watch, Mac, iPad, etc that just made that option the most ideal, despite lacking features of some the otbers

    I use Amazing Marvin - super customizable to make your own workflow, so you can make it as simple or complicated as you’d like. Small team, but responds super quickly to questions and requests.

    Todoist works great for me. I like the recurring tasks feature which lets me clear up a lot of headspace. “Clean XYZ every 11 days #chore” is all the syntax you need to setup a recurring task that’s categorised under the “chore” category.

    I’ve been using a lot of different apps. Then I tried using tasker plugin along with dataview in Obsidian - but it was too convoluted. I settled on using vikunja for tasks that I need to keep track of, and the things I commit to goes into my “today” note in Obsidian.

    Generally it is not advisable to have more than one source of information for your tasks, but this setup worked for me.

      I just recently started using Vikunja too, and it’s pretty great but really needs more recurrence options. For 90% of my things it works, but there’s some things lacking.

    All the apps… and none of them work for me.

    But one that is nice, powerful, and still free usable without working with a ‘hello world build a todo application’-app and seems to work for people that actually use todo applications.

    I have multiple

    • Microsoft ToDo
    • Clickup
    • A discord channel
    • Joplin

    And I also use pen and paper

    I use them all. Don’t ask me why I can’t stick with one, because I don’t know. But my system works.

      I also use a bunch and a head system that works. TickTick has been my go to for high importance tasks/reminders, then 3 more apps for various mental purposes.

    My wife and I use Cozi (free tier) for shared lists and calendar. Now we both will know when we need laundry detergent and that we have to meet up with whoever next week even if it doesn’t come up in conversation. You can notify each other of calendar additions too, so that side of it doesn’t even rely on checking that often.

    For simple chores and errands, we just have a white board in the kitchen. We are cute and leave each other notes on it sometimes too.
