I’m writing my PhD and sometimes feel like I’m losing my mind trying to balance home and work tasks, thesis tasks, personal and household habits, and potential connecting these to notes. I really struggle if everything isn’t in one place I can’t keep track of it.
I’ve been using Beaverhabits for habits, Baikal for Caldav connected to iPhone reminders and Thunderbird tasks, and memos and trilium for notes. I also, use a notebook for daily stuff and move it over to digital if it isn’t finished by 5.
Any recommendations? I would really appreciate it. I enjoy thinking about how to do and manage work efficiently but also need a firm system.
Over the years I’ve tried so many apps for this. In the end, I always come back to having a physical notepad and printed calendar where I can write stuff and have it visible in my room
That’s fine so long as you don’t mind carrying your notepad and calendar around with you everywhere you go. I don’t think most people want to do that considering there’s already a pocket computer they’re carrying around with them.
