Over the summer, I experimented with a lot of different app configurations. I tried too many task management apps to see how different things fared. I loved my solution, but I wanted to see what else was out there. Then I bifurcated my tasks and used two apps. Splitting my brain in this way was … Continue reading Basic →

It’s fall – damn near winter – and that can only mean one thing: time to make my task management more complicated.

I’ve tried many … Continue reading GoodTask 3: An Unexpected Surprise →

I’ve tried a bunch of them— Reminders, Clear, Due, Wunderlist, Trello, Things —and through that journey I’ve found 2Do … Continue reading Move Your Thoughts to 2Do →
