The workflow is centered around "tasks", which can be as simple as a description. You can add tags to tasks, filter by tags, set task priorities & due dates and assign tasks to a project. Much more to love, I recommend checking it out if the above description interests you.

#42I use Clubhouse and follow a modified kanban process. It helps me keep on top of dependencies, blocked work, and whether or not I'm overloading myself in a given week/month/whatever.

#43I have a file called todo.txt, with the current tasks at the top, and everything else below that. It is in version control. As I finish stuff, I delete it out of the file. I add new stuff towards the top if I want to do it soon, towards the bottom if I want to save it for later. For things which are just ideas, I have a second file called brainstorm.txt.
based on your name, im guessing you have a `password.txt` also ?

#45I use github's kanban board and like the concept of Kanban overall. Some people don't realise that Kanban is quite the opposite of Scrum. One variation that has worked for me / peers over the years is having a "Next 5" column. i.e. something bigger than Current but smaller than the backlog. That enables always having a practical, prioritized mid-term plan (assuming you regularly tweak the Next 5 selection). At the sa…

This is what I do too. I tried using things like Trello but found the friction to be too high. I use org mode instead of a regular .txt file though.

#49I think the right 'process' for each person is more important than the 'tools' etc. The tools that will suit your needs , you will learn/make/find over time of use.. The process though is the foundation imo. I have a few habbits that I absolutely know could be improved on, optimised etc, but they make me comfortable, they are my solid automonomous actions, meaning I never need to worry about them. Autopilot mode kick…
This can't be overstated. We often get stuck into looking for "the perfect tool" for things, when the tool is rarely the most important thing. The process is king, and any tools should be chosen to support the desired process.
