What apps do you use for planning your week?

The success of our day is largely dependent on the quality of our planning. Some people prefer to make a list of upcoming tasks in a notebook, while others have long started using digital technology solutions.

Do you use some calendar app like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Fantastical that sync across all you devices and plan tasks like that?

Or maybe you prefer note taking apps like Notion, Evernote or Trello to track you tasks and their execution?

Or do you still use the traditional block-note approach as for some people no app will ever be as flexible and easy to use as pen and paper?

I just go with the Integrated Apple Calendar. In addition to this, I use Todoist(which I find very useful) to put my Deadlines and different tasks in.

For meetings we use Outlook at work, and for actual tasks Asana. For private quick notes I use Google Keep.

I am working on my own concept. It's somewhere between Trello and Salesforce. Giving me kanban views per client, but also overal on all projects.

Same stack here. I am really enjoying Microsoft To Do at the moment. The developers are very active.

I use Dynalist for note taking.

I use a cocktail of things 3 for daily to dos, Bear Notes for notes and quarterly planning, Google Calendar for schedule, Trello for longer projects, and a couple white boards at home for generally planning of projects/weekly touch points. It seems like a lot but I feel like it allows me to be the most productive!

I mostly use TaskPaper and NotePlan tied together with some Alfred scripts and my own menubar note/script running application. Kind of a hybrid.
