Interesting 🤔 What if you have to many things to do, how do you handle them? Do you have something like Inbox page in notes application and take everything what you think you can do today or what? How you keep everything sorted out? Because I often loose something. 😄

Well, some time ago I used something called GTD. It helped to be productive, but did not really help to be efficient. These days I use calendar for things I do not want to miss, Scrum/Kanban for work and my own mind - for home.

The thing is that any system will consume your time by having to follow some standards. If you manage to limit amount of things by doing less, but of bigger value, you can concentrate on things which really matter.

In the worst case you can create an account at atlassian website and use their Kanban/Scrum/Project boards. It's free ;)

You might also want to take a look at my article on becoming more productive but not investing time into memorizing IntelliJ shortcuts: dev.to/nikitakoselev/how-to-save-t...
I guess this approach shall work for any decent IDE.

Oh.. Nice! I'm just using shortcut.com to track all my task 😆 I have really simple workflow but at least it works for me. Have 3 columns (Inbox, Started, and Completed). Thank you for such detailed answer 😊
