I don’t love it but it works.

#24Sublime + PlainTasks for to do. Sublime for quick notes and drafts. Workflowy for nested notes. Not as a todo list. It's a good way to nest notes in notes. For example, I made a list of tropes, categorized them by heroic vs villainous, male or female, personality, description, and so on. And added lots of notes and tags for each. This is a mess if you try to do it in Evernote, but perfect for Workflowy. Google Assist…
Have you ever needed image support? That was my main pain point against text editors and Git.
Only about 3% of the time. Rarely enough that for the most part I'd rather use a tool optimized for typing.

What are some "heavy duty" things that are missing in today's tools?
Image, maybe some tables. I've plopped a spreadsheet into Evernote once but a mini calculator will do.
I do use Evernote's business card scanner a lot but I'd rather just pay for a specialized business card scanner app.
Evernote does all this but it lags too much when trying to read from my phone.

#27Mostly Trello, with a kanban-style To-do list. I feel good when I slide a card from "Doing" to the "Done" column.
I have used Trello for a brief amount of time for a team project. Any pain point with task organization around time or calendar integration?
Sorry, but I can't really tell. I work alone most of the time, so I never used Trello in a team context.

#28I think about the terrible and miserable future awaiting for me if I don't do what I know I have to be doing.

#29Pen (fountain pen) and paper.
I schedule 30 minutes at the end of the week to write down what has happeded, what went well or better than expected, what to improve, and what to do next.
These are the most productive 30 minutes of the week, btw.

#30Any org-mode fans out there? I would like to hear how to make habits around org-mode and capturing the information necessary. I want to treat my notes as a brain assistant to free my mind of having to think of future events and tasks. Particularly, the habits of capturing tasks when off desktop.
> ...the habits of capturing tasks when off desktop. * email to myself from my phone * pen and small paper notebook I put captured info in appropriate org files when I'm at the desktop.
I add a entry in my Google calendar from either my phone or my home PC.
Next day at work, I will see it on my phone.
