Todo.txt
And also
Calendar.txt
Calendar as plaintext is cursed.
Works fine for me, but I do not have complicated needs, thankfully. I agree that if you have many appointments in a day it doesn’t work well.
Jira and mails marked as unread until i have worked through them haha :)
Can you expand on your wiki usage?
Airtable. It’s like Trello on steroids. Extremely flexible but you have to set it up all yourself.
Service Now.
If it’s not a ticket it’s not a task that needs doing.
Don’t complain to me, that is what the company policy says.
Post-Its and flagged Slack messages if I ever remember to check those
That’s the fun part, I don’t!
(okay maybe a little bit of Jira)
A personal wiki or a text file, depending on the place. Would be nice to have some compact non invasive ticket system, but I’ve never seen one.
I’ve used literal card decks and GTDish pen and paper systems when there was more demanding need on tracking things. They’re effective.
A little notebook I carry around with me
This is me, boss comes in with a new task, I immediately whip out my green notebook and start writing as he’s talking then let him know I’ll get to it when I’m done with my current task. I use black for writing out the task and subtasks, red for checking items I’ve completed already, slashing through tasks that are no longer required, or writing notes that come up during the task (like ticket numbers). I think I’m like just below halfway through the notebook I started in February.
I use jira software for task management! It’s just me on the team, so it’s maybe a bit overkill, but I’ve found scrum / sprints to be massively helpful in prioritizing important work.
It sucks jira is in the cloud, but I’m yet to find an open source scrum system with the same features. Taiga.io comes close, but i don’t yet have a reason to switch; i’ve been using Jira for two years with no issues.
Obsidian with tasks and kanban Plugin. Open them side by side
Obsidian with calendar plugin here.
In the past I’ve used Spice, RT, Jira at work. Freshdesk free works for home. Also a simple bullet list in Google docs.
Markdown files and Logseq https://logseq.com/ as the front end. I’ve been using Mardown for over 10 years, and it’s worked for me. Work uses JIRA, but I keep my own notes and copy in them in as necessary.
Microsoft ToDo. It works well with the GTD method.
GTD?
It stands for Getting Things Done, a method of organizing
Ahh, thanks! Reading a description, that’s how I use it too, that’s fun to learn there’s a name for it.
