    The "single ticket per client per month" sounds interesting. However, I use something called tracks to manage anything that isn't client related.

  • Who Uses To-Do Lists?
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Jan 2022
    The most useful aspect of my to-do list system is that one of my monitors acts as a bit of a dashboard where my events in my calendar and items from my to-do list are written to the current wallpaper using Imagemagick. (Along with a five day weather forecast, my children's school time-tables and a bit of other stuff.)

    This way, the info is always visible (when I'm not using that monitor for anything else) so easy to look at at a glance.

    One of my to-do lists is simply a text file in Dropbox (so I can also edit it from my phone when not at home). I can also open it fast with a simple key-press on my computer. It tends to be the spot where, as soon as I think of something I have to do, I'll open that file, write a line for it and save it. Then I know it is out of my head and I don't have to worry about trying to remember it any more.

    The other to-do list I use is Tracks[0] running in a Docker container. This is used for more organised to-dos and particularly things that I have to do at a future date (currently my must far-flung to-do is for 2026). Things that are to be done down the track I'll also add a show-from date to (either on the day or a little before) so they they're not visible on the main page. I don't need to see them, and doing so only wastes brain cycles when reviewing the current list.

    Items in either a particular category, or are visible with a due date get merged in with the calendar for the next seven days and display with their own high-lighting on my wallpaper/dashboard.

    Been using this more-or-less for quite a few years now and feel it works quite well. I do have grandiose thoughts of moving to using Taskwarrior as I do have the occasional Trello board or Jira project I wouldn't mind integrating into a holistic miasma, but I would still like a good web interface similar to Tracks to visualise and triage. Could not find something I was comfortable with last I looked.

  • TaskBoard - how much does it read
    1 project | /r/TaskBoard | 6 Jul 2023
    I think you may be lost. This subreddit is for an open source project called TaskBoard (https://github.com/kiswa/TaskBoard), not the Google Tasks Board thing (which is what I'm assuming you're referring to).
  • Personal Pro
    1 project | /r/TaskBoard | 26 Jun 2023
    I think you may be in the wrong subreddit. This one is for an open source project that is basically unmaintained at this point (sorry). You can see it at https://github.com/kiswa/TaskBoard

  • Top 10 productivity tools for freelancers

    Taskboard At some point in their career, every freelancer has had to juggle multiple projects, each of which was at a different state of completion and was completely separated from each other. Does it sound familiar? Well, in case you are a visual thinker and you`re looking for a tool that suits your needs, Taskboard is a completely free and open-source tool to improve productivity. With Taskboard, you can keep track of all your processes with ease. For example, you can tell Taskboard to clear the deadline if you mark a task as complete before its deadline. Instead of fiddling with the options and details to keep everything updated and the board clean, you can use Taskboard to save a lot of time and effort. You can even customize colors, add attachments, and have access to a full history of your board activities.
