My secret weapon is a "to do" list in notepad.

One list which has everything. No apps, no workflow, no SaaS fees. Works better than anything else I've tried.



Same, except s/notepad/vim. One big file. Easy to keep in version control (I keep it in my dot files repo), easy to search/grep, Currently has 10 years worth of stuff (well over 10,000 lines) but is still instantaneous to open and search. I've recently started trying out Logseq and there's a chance I may actually switch, but the single-text-file approach has served me very well for a long time.


I was the same, I've been on logseq for a while and I'm pretty much a convert. Syntax highlighting, embed images, todo/now/done -- all a bit more effortless.

And it all went into the same git repo as my previous vim based .plan ;)

I just wish it had a decent vi mode!



Same here for todos (just with pen and paper).

I don’t see why I’d need an admin dashboard and a DBMS to effectively prioritize what I need to accomplish in 16 hours.


Same, except that I've added Obsidian as a UI on top of it. Check in markdown, have decent visual on top.
