However, I violated the first rule of using the organization tool i.e. Trust your tool. Yet another post on hackernews and I got distracted into trying Trello, and what not for a promise of increased productivity.

#22Wow, that sounds like an incredibly unjustified relationship, with only the superficial support of its counter-intuitive nature. In my experience, the opposite happens, the more you do in a day, the more you recognize and remember that you accomplished that day, and consequentially, feel that you accomplished. Which by the way, is exactly what the anti-todo list is, except with a mental list of remembered accomplishments, rather than manually recorded ones.

#24Nice product! Just started using it and realized it's far different than my Yammer and/or Wunderlist. This is especially good for writing simple daily recaps which I can then compress into weekly update to my investors.

#28Anti-Todo List... otherwise known as "Lab Notebook"? This process is commonplace (and often required!) in academic settings. I love looking through mine and reliving the discovery process!
I used Yammer for this in the past--just posted quick blurbs about that I did as I did it so that the team stay informed and I could remember what I had done.

#29Shameless plug for a stupid little web-app I wrote for exactly this purpose... years ago. It was my first foray into Django, and it's open-source: http://finisht.com http://github.com/nicksergeant/finisht
This is great. Is the app pronounced "finished", "finish it", or "finish shit!" ? I kind of like the last one, haha. Seriously though I'm curious which one.
