Re: Ask HN: How do you do your To-Do list?
#42My own method is a bit unusual - it's a hybrid method. As a Windows user, I use our own software, Swift To-Do List, that we've been developing for over 9 years - http://www.dextronet.com/swift-to-do-list-software First of all, I use it as a task and notes database, where I store all my tasks and ideas. Second, every evening, I print a fresh to-do list with tasks for the next day. I just pick the tasks I want to do to…
Whoa the price is... interesting, may I ask what has been your experience with pricing over 9 years and how you decided to set it at $45?

#43Evernote - Weekly To Dos.
Command, Shift, T - Creates a checkbox and then I write the task.
At the end of the week, I copy over the list and remove everything I've done and keep the ones I still plan on doing, but I've procrastinated on.

#45After trying various methods (Wunderlist, journaling, Trello, Evernote, the list goes on and on), I finally settled on a slight variation on "bullet journaling": bulletjournal.com Basically, writing daily notes/to-do-lists with a focus on organization and brevity.
I do a similar thing with post-its on my desk. I thoroughly enjoy the physical action of removing a post-it, smashing it up and tossing it into a garbage can. For things I do not complete within the day, I simply use Outlook's calendar, then rinse, repeat.
I spend maybe 10-15 minutes at the beginning and end of every day perform the organization, and "toss" tasks as I finish them throughout the day.
All the meta-analysis and catchy software, and I find that using post-its and a calendar is the most effective way for me to keep track of tasks.

Same here, I have tried various approaches, but couldn't settle on any. I loved the idea of bullet journaling. I am doing something similar, glad to put name to its face :)

#47Email. I have Gmail labels for different categories and different priorities/complexities. My goal is inbox zero, so when I finish my list I pull from the labels based on the priority, complexity, and what area I'm working in (i.e. marketing, dev, content, etc.). If I'm busy or something comes up I'll just push the items back into the folders to clear my mind and pull them out again later. If items are quick (i.e. I…
I like this idea, but would it work if I'm using the mail app on OS Mavericks? Would the labels import? Might be time to switch away from the mail app anyways, seems to really bog down my system.
Not sure. I tried the mail app, but it was too cumbersome. I just use Gmail in Safari on OS Mavericks and the Gmail app on the iPhone. On OS Mavericks it works well enough with desktop notifications.

#49I use a variant of David Allen's "Getting Things Done" (GTD) system. I wrote a little booklet about my implementation of it, to have a convenient place to point people at when they're curious.

I love the idea of Bullet Journaling. I used to do something similar couple of years ago. Now I use Wunderlist mostly because its OS/Device agnostic and reasonable looking. The reason Bullet written journaling didn't work for me because carrying a notebook is annoying, since I don't keep a bag with me all the time, it means I have to keep one in my pocket all the time. Also Notebooks gets damaged. The positive was th…
