Ich mag es, ein Notizbuch oder ein loses Blatt Papier zu haben, wo ich Aufgaben aufschreibe, sobald sie mir einfallen oder mir zugewiesen werden. Ich markiere sie mit einem Quadrat. Wenn ich eine Aufgabe beginne, ziehe ich eine Linie durch das Quadrat. Wenn ich ungefähr zur Hälfte fertig bin, fülle ich eine Hälfte aus, und wenn ich fertig bin, fülle ich es ganz aus. Auf diese Weise vergesse ich nicht, das zu beenden, was ich angefangen habe.
I like Google Calendar with multiple reminders that I can customize. And you can categorize individual calendars to reduce clutter and automatically have notifications set if they’re in a certain category (: Other than that I use Apple’s reminders by using Siri because it can be location based and I can delay to certain times of day or the next day
I use Numo for everything I have to remember, so routines and everything during „normal day life“. For appointments, week planning and work notes I have an oldschool calendar with a double page per week, left are days and right side is for noting priorities and other stuff a bit Bullet Journal style. For groceries etc. my bf and me share a simple list on our iPhones. That works for me.
I am just testing Numo now for task management, but for routines/habits I really liked Finch and have been able to stick with it for quite a long time. For work tasks I use Blitzit so I can write down estimates. Also, Structured is very good, but their Android app is not great, so it’s only worth it If you have an iPhone
I'm kinda of a planner freak, maybe it's been my hiperfocus 😅 but I actually used many types and strategies over the years trying to get better organized (until I found out the problem wasn't the lack of a perfect planner, just the excess of adhd 😅😅). Now I use Numo for routines (not sure why, but it works), google calendar for work appointments because I have to and I have a paper planner, bacause over the years I found out I need paper to remember stuff. Bullet journal always worked best. The great thing about it is that I can use it any way I want, so in daily/busy weeks I just used the most simple, minimalistic style and it's really works. When Inspired or when I had more time I would do some elaborated designs. The great thing about bujo is that u can do it anyway u like and it will work. For starters I think the best way to go is simple.
I actually just use Numo as my go to. But also use my calendar app on my phone for appointments with reminder alerts.
I like Zinnia (digital) - it has lots of templates, but you can also customize and make it your own. And once you have something that works for you it is easy to duplicate. But really - I only do digital options anymore because 1 - my phone is always with me so I am never without the planner, and 2 - alerts and reminders.
Oooh yeah I know zinna I used It years ago...but I wasn't able to stick to it for...more than just some days. But now that I think about it is because I used it on my iPad (I don't have the iPad with me always....and magically anything I have on it I use it less...now I finally got it) also tried to printed the pages 😂. And I wasn't use a lot of notifications. I redownloaded recently a week ago actually, I will try to use it on my phone instead and connected to Google calendar as much as it can. In alternative I use a bullet journal but coping a little the zinna template for inspiration. I'm trying because I usually write and then don't look at it anymore or don't do what I actually planned 😂 Especially if is time blocking omg.
For Work, School, Daily Journalling: Bullet journal. I recommend that you keep it simple and minimalistic. Otherwise you may get tired or it might get too time consuming. Simple is better. It’s your choice to use colors & other features. I like to use just one color & use my own abbreviations & symbols to write tasks, thoughts, reminders, etc. For work: I use Microsoft Outlook Tasks (I like the old version better). It allows me to keep details notes on ongoing tasks & projects, set reminders, color code tasks, & categorize & sort my tasks based on my preferences. I LOVE Outlook Tasks!
