tl;dr

Ready to ditch the productivity app hamster wheel? Do this:

    Create a file called todo.txt
    Write down what you need to do tomorrow
    Do those things
    Add notes as you work
    Start a new date section when needed

My advice to anyone, is to start tracking stuff on paper, and once you've got some workflow nailed down, search for digital tools to augment it (or be fine with the current workflow). I prefer digital and have settled on org mode. It has the structure that I would need to implement if I was starting with .txt files.

Another tool I like is Things.app. But it's Apple only and I'm moving away from that ecosystem.

And it works really, really well.

We tend to overcomplicate things when it's not needed. Sometimes I think we like playing with tools more than doing actual work.
