One of my issues are I struggle to put ideas down or where to begin to plan my time so when I’m not feeling coding I love researching and trying different applications to find one I work well with and enjoy. Today I’m checking out invisionapp, so far it looks good, they have many templates to help you get started 🙂🤞🏻
What do you use to help you plan?

I actually just keep it old-school — pen (or pencil) and a pad of paper!
I think the reason I prefer this is because:
a) I use 3 different monitors and they're all filled up with all the other stuff I frequently use — Slack, Discord, multiple Chrome windows (with plenty of tabs in each), Front, the list goes on... having yet another thing on the screen just feels a bit overwhelming.
b) I just really like the feeling of physically crossing out items on my to-do list haha! So rewarding. 🙂
All this said, I do use Notion quite frequently for documentation and occasionally will write to-dos inside it. It provides a way to create checklists and when I check the box, the item gets digitally crossed out, which almost gives me the same satisfaction as crossing things out on a piece of paper.
Bullet Journal! After using a lot of software tools and platforms, I ended up Having my tasks and notes on a bullet journal. It's more easy to just write what you think and mark tasks completed. the notebook is small and you can take it anywhere.
I personally use a bullet journal to keep track of my tasks, which involve what I need to get done for each of my projects.
What is a Bujo? How can it help you?

If you do not like writing things down by hand, I also found Google Tasks helps quite a bit too!

Yeah can't beat good old pen and paper, but I use Trello to place everything in an idea list, and then pull stuff into backlog if when I am developing it I think its a good idea.
However, if I am in team based environments and sharing a Kanban, I again, just use pen and paper!
I came across Obsidian Recently and I totally Love it. I switched all my Notion and Paper Notes to Obsidian
This is more for tasks, but I just stick a sticky note on my laptop, which is annoying, and when I'm donr I get to clean ny laptop.
I do somewhat of a bullet journal in obsidian.md/
Obsidian is the divine answer.
I am using gitmind at this moment!
it helps me to create a good roadmap
