My favorite tool is a tool within an app called SuperMemo know as plan. [1]. It’s pretty great but lacks mobile support and syncing so I’m interested in knowing what other people use.

#3For task management I use Todoist and couldn't be happier! Knowing they never allow themselves to be bought brings peace of mind that's unrivaled: https://blog.doist.com/no-exit-strategy/

#4I like to hack on my own modular planning system called Task BATL. It was specifically started to deal with issues around workaholism, burnout, procrastination, and lack of values-oriented planning.
It works on paper or in digital format...I generally use markdown and a syncing service, along with fsearch and some editor tools/snippets. But sometimes it's nice to move to paper especially for the Rebasing activity, as well as the Debriefing and Anarchy modules.

#5Org mode has been simple and adaptible for me. I can write plaintext if need be, it's easy to organize tasks and hide superfluous or outdated information. Org mode isn't the end all of personal organization, but its 10x alternative would require a sophisticated UI.

Interesting idea’s on that link. I eventually did away with todo lists. I do have points written down, but usually I just have one big item I need to tackle for the day but takes 2-4 hours to do, one small one (1 hour usually) , and the rest is optional. This allows for more flexibility depending on my energy levels.

#7I think all planning apps just end up by using the exact same format (calendar format, which is quite limited) to store information, so in terms of usability they are all kind of the same.
I use nextcloud's lists, as it is free, it syncs across all devices and it's easy to do modifications if you want

Organice[0] is also worth a mention as a mobile UI.

Beat me to it, though for me it's a Black n' Red notebook and fountain pens.
