There's a lot of to-do list apps, reminders, calendars etc out there advertised towards us to help us do things like break down large tasks into meaningful chunks and focus on what we need to do each day, but I want to hear from the community what do you guys think is the best so let's start a thread

I used to get sucked into finding new tools to help me be more productive, but keeping it simple and visible works for me.

I use Apple Reminders and leverage their smart tags to break tasks down by how long they’ll take, how much effort, and when they need to be done. I keep Reminders open on my iPad so I can always see it, and when I have 15 minutes to kill, I select a 15-minute or less task and knock it out. It works for me, and my whole family can add to it, so I never forget to do something.

Ditto! I keep my shopping list in Home Assistant, and always in Home Assistant. The rest of the notes go in Joplin.

I require apps that can sync (and at least work half-decent on mobile) and that are as little of a barrier as possible. Even then, forming a habit took a while.
