I'm curious because I've spend many hundreds of hours building a system to organise my life and I wonder if others have something similar in their lives.
Apple Notes & Google Calendar.
I've used hundreds of productivity tools and I keep coming back to Apple Notes. No login every other week, super fast, works offline, no annoying updates, no forced paid plans, no acquisitions or shutdowns, synced everywhere, flexible enough...
This is a question many of us have haha. I have to thank Google for helping me organize my life.
- Google Calendar
- Google Drive
- Google Keep for notes
+ Trello
For fellow devs who live in the command line like me, I found ultralist to be perfect, it's a flexible todo list right in the command line so no need to go to an external website or application.
I have a distaste for juggling numerous tools and I prefer the simplest solutions, hence:
- I rely on Google Calendar for arranging my schedule
- I use Slack for brief reminders
- I scribble my to-dos and swift notes on scrap paper, typically on an old envelope
- and, for extended note-taking, I turn to Notion.
I love Notion for this - simply because you can build your own pages very easily and customise things. I also think they are the best option out there in terms of organising/finding information once you have everything in one place.
Notion for work-related organisation and professional cooperation, but I can't hype Obsidian enough as a personal wiki, and to keep track of information you might want to revisit in the future.
Obsidian is something I *wish* I'd come across during my time at university.
