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…

do they have a Linux client?

non-native. They have a chrome app where you can have a desktop shortcut and looks and pretty much works like a desktop native app (almost). I guess its not truly a OS agnostic in that sense, since if you don't use chrome/chromium on linux the only other way would be to user their online version (which is not bad at all).

Pen and paper, using Bullet Journal conventions ( http://www.bulletjournal.com/ ). Ultimately the problem I have with digital todo lists is todo-creep. Lists become large and unwieldy. Old todos are not automatically deleted. Pen and paper allows you to make a fresh start each day. If there is an important task you didn't finish the day before, you'll remember it and add it to the new day. Bullet Journal allows you t…

This looks good. I like to keep all of my stuff in one place if possible (notes, todos and calendar) so I might give this a shot.

I've become a surprised addict of HabitRPG, a "gamified" To-Do system that does a great job handling one off tasks, daily/weekly things, habits you want to nudge yourself to do more regularly, and everything else I needed from a solid GTD app but couldn't find.

It also has a great API, free mobile apps, is open source, easy to export data via CSV or JSON, and has an amazing community behind it. The only thing it really lacks for me, right now, is a way to track larger projects, but I've started keeping those together in a weekly review doc that is separate. Highly recommended.

Google Keep. I've tried Trello, Any.Do, Evernote, Asana, Hashnote, Wunderlist, RememberTheMilk, etc.

I need something that syncs effortlessly, works on Android / Linux / Mac, and is fast. I used Trello and Any.Do for a couple months each, but eventually got fed up with Trello slow performance on mobile and Any.Do's Chrome extension bugs.

Trello is just great for doing this. I was also considering writing my own Trello clone with better integration of calendar and plan to do so if I have some spare time this month.

Have you seen the Trello Calendar power-up? http://blog.trello.com/introducing-power-ups-calendar-card-a... I like it a lot. What would you do to make it better?

Wow, that's just great! Thanks for recommendation! I guess iOS integration for this power-up wouldn't hurt. I use my iPad a lot while processing my to-dos
