Do any of you use tools like Asana etc. to mange tasks? Anything you’d recommend?
I use Todoist privately. It’s the only to-do app I’ve liked. It has a API, Can handle recurring to-dos, show my Google Calendar in the to-do app, can create projects, tags, etc.
Before that, I used or tested Trello, Taskwarrior and Notion. Trello is too Kanban, Taskwarrior is mainly terminal first, and Notion became slower and slower and seemed bloated to me.
I also registered with Asana at one point. However, it seemed too business-oriented to me and didn’t really convince me. But I hadn’t tested it enough to say anything about it.
I also took a look at Nextcloud Task, but it didn’t make much sense to me. Recurring tasks were missing (I think this was implemented this week) and the app looked different on each platform because many clients come from third-partys. And then there were the usual Nextcloud bugs.
At Todoist, I also use the API to create to-dos. Examples:
- When a Nextcloud update is due, a to-do is created
- Weekly a to-do is created, which states how much I have to work that week (overtime, etc)

My minimalism stretch has come to an end where I have nothing left to do.

At the moment, I am pretty disorganised. I have post it notes on my monitor, notebooks scattered between work and home and electronic notes on my computer.

How about “Evaluate productivity suite”?

Thanks, I’ve given enough to any industry that “thrives” from creating solutions for useless problems it has created beforehand.
It looks like that’s a human behavior though.
