Ask HN: How do you manage (and remember to manage) your To-Do list in 2022?

• taskwarrior

  97 3,858 9.0 C++

  Taskwarrior - Command line Task Management

  

I use the cli tool taskwarrior -- https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior or https://taskwarrior.org/ -- which does have a remote sync option. If you're a "I live in the terminal" kinda person, you might get on well with it.

• Habitica

  173 11,395 9.5 JavaScript

  A habit tracker app which treats your goals like a Role Playing Game.

  

Habitica! It's really dorky, but it's a great way to make me do anything. (https://habitica.com/)

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io sponsored

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• github-orgmode-tests

  245 147 4.8

  This is a test project where you can explore how github interprets Org-mode files

Anything for me to do/process goes through a quick Eisenhower Matrix[1] in my mind and I drop them in the bucket I want it to. My primary focus (top-right) usually goes to a date on the calendar. The others lands in a plain text, with an Orgmode-ish[2] organization/pattern (no, not in Emacs).

This is the simplest and most effective so far that I have broken down to.

• tasklib

  2 143 0.0 Python

  A Python library for interacting with taskwarrior databases.

  

I'm seconding this. Taskwarrior is the program I've used for the longest, by far.

I particularly like Taskwarrior's ability to set task dependencies. And I've found tasklib [0] to be nice for writing Python scripts to interact with the database.

• NotePlan_Themes

  76 78 0.0

  Official collection of custom themes for NotePlan 3

I use https://noteplan.co - it integrates calendars, reminders and markdown notes.

Calendars and reminders use their respective MacOS system apps (those can be used with Exchange, CalDAV and CardDAV servers which is important to me). The note-taking part of the app has a lot of niceties (task management, subfolders, tags, wiki-style-links, attachments, ...) and is split into a general-purpose "notes" folder and a "daily notes" folder. If you open a daily note, you get a combined view of a markdown note for the day in the center, your calendars and reminders on the right and all your general-purpose-notes in a sidebar to the left. I find this combination so useful that Noteplan is the only app I (very grudgingly) a) pay a subscription fee for and b) sync via a commercial cloud service - in this case Apple's CloudKit.

• super-productivity

  70 8,340 9.7 TypeScript

  Super Productivity is an advanced todo list app with integrated Timeboxing and time tracking capabilities. It also comes with integrations for Jira, Gitlab, GitHub and Open Project.

To be honest, most of the time I lack the discipline to track my tasks in a tool. But what came closest to being useful for me is Super Productivity[0]. It's MIT licensed, can be integrated with Jira, GitHub, Gitlab and Open Project and has a built in Pomodoro Timer that helps me to find focus.
