    The section entitled “The Secret Sauce” is the real magic of this article.

    Apps aren’t a problem, but they’re also not a guaranteed solution. If you don’t actually do what needs to be done, then it isn’t working.

      The best to-do organization solution is the one you use 😆

      plain text calendar is even better than the txt todo-list. Here’s a good introduction and a free template until 2039 https://terokarvinen.com/2021/calendar-txt/

    @stabby_cicada so true. I have a physical note book for work, and all personal notes are in markdown, nextcloud server.

    This is why I like neorg plugin on neovim

    I just have a directory for todos, checklists, reference files, etc.

    And I can peruse it easily with nvim-tree

    And I just have a hotkey to toggle state of items (todo, done, paused, represented by empty box, checked box, clock, respectively)

    But in the end it’s just editting a raw text file.

    I can agree and empathise with this a lot, a text file is what I generally use on a desktop, though for smaller tasks that I knock out on the go, I use p!n on android (fdroid)
