Caldav with decsync and syncthing to synchronize across devices
Yall gonna hate me,
But teams planner planner is super neat since you can use buckets. And others can use it too.
I honestly don’t hate teams. It’s pretty neat once you get mildly used to it!
I was just thinking this yesterday. I went from hating Teams, to liking it better than Slack, and then actually finding it super convenient.
I do really wish we could put chats and threads into folders. I have so many in the sidebar … so many.
My group uses teams to assign tasks and keep track of things we finished.
Super convenient for repetitive tasks that you do every week.
I don’t hate teams but I hate that call ringtone. I get triggered everytime I hear it 😂
My system is people asking me when stuff will be done
Jira and mails marked as unread until i have worked through them haha :)
Teams boards (shared to dos)
Planner (personal lists)
Writing it down on a sticky note (priority)
Servicetitan Task Management (ugh, not a huge fan but required).
Monday (shared and I really like this one but it’s only for a particular dept’s needs).A little notebook I carry around with me
This is me, boss comes in with a new task, I immediately whip out my green notebook and start writing as he’s talking then let him know I’ll get to it when I’m done with my current task. I use black for writing out the task and subtasks, red for checking items I’ve completed already, slashing through tasks that are no longer required, or writing notes that come up during the task (like ticket numbers). I think I’m like just below halfway through the notebook I started in February.
~/scratch.txt in my text editor of choice opened automatically on startup with a keyboard shortcut to show/hide it
And GitHub issues for collaboration
Todo.txt
And also
Calendar.txt
Calendar as plaintext is cursed.
Works fine for me, but I do not have complicated needs, thankfully. I agree that if you have many appointments in a day it doesn’t work well.
Service Now.
If it’s not a ticket it’s not a task that needs doing.
Don’t complain to me, that is what the company policy says.
emacs org-mode
Obsidian with tasks and kanban Plugin. Open them side by side
That’s the fun part, I don’t!
(okay maybe a little bit of Jira)
People ask me to do shit and I do it… unless someone asks me to do something else before I’m done.
Pen and paper lol
Nothing worked for me until I designed my own planner. I like to take things one week at a time so every Friday afternoon, I print out enough sheets for the next week on semi-A4 paper, folded and stapled to a semi-A5 booklet.
One full page for each day with:
- Compact visual schedule of the day with a time grid (hours on the y-axis, 10s of minutes on the x-axis) and recurring events pre-printed
- “Today” box to write down reminders and tasks that don’t go on a time grid
- Section to jot down miscellaneous thoughts and ideas
- Right half of the page entirely for a journal entry
Front cover has the weekly overview and back cover has upcoming and assorted tasks.
No monthly calendar, any entry that needs to persist for longer than a week or so goes in a separate hardcover A5 journal that is usually in my bag.
