Which tools do you use to organise your life around, if any?

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.

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.

@thisismeihere Haven't come across Bear before. What attracted you to use it?

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.

@james14 Haven't come across it before. I'm checking out their website now and it looks pretty powerful

At one point I was using Notion for everything, but at this point I just use Apple’s apps that come with macOS and iOS since it’s less 3rd party apps I have to use and it generally works for me. Reminders with different lists for tasks, Notes for anything long-form that needs to be saved, Calendar, Mail, etc.

@eonpilot I've only really come across GitHub this month. I feel I should do some more research into it. The interface web interface looks slick

@jandemiralp Its part of the fabric of the internet. I like products that become fabrics. Like notion as well. Notionists and githubbers.
Notion for no tension 👍

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 use Obsidian because it's open source and easy to install. You can install multiple community plugins they are amazing.

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...

@arthur_sav I get where you're coming from. I often feel the urge to burn down my notes apps and start again with just the basics

I use Notion for all purposes, from project management to notes for personal matters in order not to be forgotten 😂

@bojan_gulevski That's where I started out. Maybe you'll be interested in the Notion template I built. Here's the link in case you are: https://www.innercompass.academy...
