    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.

    Tasks.org, synced with Nextcloud tasks.

    You must download it from F-droid for the sync to be free. On Play Store it’s under a paywall by dev decision (to promote open source portals).

      Isn’t it moreso to support the dev easily?

    A Post-It and a pencil, usually.

    Not because “app bad” or “return to monke” or anything like that. Mostly because if I stow the note in a dedicated app, that somehow just makes me less inclined to write it down and read it later.

    A scrap of papersticking out like a sore thumb on my desk or burning a hole in my pocket? I’m going to be cognizant of that all day long. But an obscure text file chilling in a disused part of my phone, or a txt file lost in the shuffle of random shit on my PC? Outta sight outta mind.

    I also find all digital input schemes to be frustratingly less flexible than physical paper. Provided I have a writing utensil on hand that is functional (not always a given, granted) it is trivial to put anything I want on a note. Write anything I want. Draw diagrams. Underline or strike text. Write some things larger or heavier than others. All of these things are possible in note taking apps, but they come with the idiosyncracies of needing to know the selection techniques and menu options to activate them. In this way they’re all death by a thousand tiny annoying cuts for me.

    I even had a smart phone with a built-in stylus for a good long while. It definitely extended the things you could do with ease, but it was a far cry from a pencil.

    The only thing a note taking app can do in my mind that paper can’t is yell at you with a loud noise at a pre-programmed time. If I need one of those, I just set an alarm in my clock app.

    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 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.
