What Works
- Todoist: Personal tasks
- Asana: Work tasks with custom view
- Obsidian: Brain, ALL information and note-taking
- VSCode: All research, coding, programming, data
- Pomodoro timer: Lately I’ve been using the Focused Work app (as of 2024-11-06)
What Doesn’t Work
Bullet journal
Ulysses
IT’s simple, doesn’t overhwelm me. I should use it more…. and i love the typewrite mode.Good for deep writing.Doesn’t work when it’s complicated.Works great when I can rapid log.That now, this week, later written notes system is good. I need to make a habit of processing notes ASAPSunsama
Brings everything together for day to day plannings.- Planning took too long. too much working getting stuff in/out from aana
- Notion
- Too much management
- Workona with Asana
- More direct in tasks and getting things synced. Less work.
- Day-of planning - ONLY adding to my workona list what I am doing TODAY is what helped minimize distractions
- 🔥 Can be sort of a pain for planning tasks for anything outside of Day-of
- Bearable
- Once I got it setup, it works.
- No! Way to omuch tracking and time wasting.
- TickTick
- I like how it has a calendar
- It can get overwhelming but that’s where simplifying lists works.
- I got rid of the Eisenhower.
- Todoist - NOt anymore. too much work.
- Consistent for the last 9+ years. It’s been an evolution always going back to it but it make it SO easy to get stuff in and out
- Todo - One thing I need to do is simplify how long it takes to get all of a tasks’ info setup - time estimate, assignee, project, due date, priority, label
- Reminder - get rid of assignees - going to use the tracker for that. If it’s a reminder I need to FUP with someone, put their name in the notes. And use email > snooze
- Continual updating of internal trackers. Im behind now. I gotta find a way to get that stuff off and into Todoist quicker. Maybe make a reminder for every thursday to > update internal trackers and then migrate to Todoist.
- bearable app, complicated trackers, etc. overwhelm the fuck out of me. I can’t think when I use them. Too much to wrap my head around.
- time blocks don’;t seem to be working. I can’t stick to them. It’s too much to follow. Maybe I should just stick to GTD, and timers for now.
- they are overwhelming as FUCK so I simplified and got rid of unnecessary time blocks
- Trello
- Way too much work to get stuff into and out of the system
- Stuff gets fragmented, not all in one place
- Takes more time to get stuff in and documented than it does to the task
- Notification system no bueno
- It’s basically duplicating efforts
- Marvin
- WAY too much work
- multitasking and tons of stuff open at once
- update 2022-07-05: completely fucking overwhelmed today and scattered. Barely got ANYTHING done and feel eternally stuck.
- also a takeaway. I overwhelm myself with notes but then when I go back to them there actually isn’t a ton to do….
