I feel like a ridiculously simple creature sometimes. All of my tasks for today were very short, so I get to move a lot of tickets to the "Done" column. This makes me feel far more pleased with myself than is remotely rational.

@solanaceae
System in what sense? Like what software do we use to keep track of tickets?
@mneme
@solanaceae
For me its usually either JIRA or on GitHub. But we are talking software development not personal to-do list or anything.
@solanaceae @freemo My team uses JIRA and something approximating Kanban. So my tickets go: Selected For Work->In Development->In Validation->Ready To Release->Done. But I also use the "Getting Things Done" system (from a book by the same name - which I've not actually read), which I track with an app called Nirvana. I'm naturally disorganised, so unless I'm very strict with myself things rapidly unravel!
@mneme
I'm always on the lookout for a good to-do app (todoist is my top choice right now). I'll check out nirvana.
@solanaceae
@solanaceae
Try getting a paper planner with a to-do section maybe?
@mneme
@solanaceae @freemo Yeah, many aspects of smartphones worry and/or annoy me, though I have one anyway. Nirvana can be used from a regular computer as well, though that's a lot less useful if you don't use a phone as well, as you can't put your computer in your pocket. Getting Things Done is still useful as a system though, even if you are pen and paper based. Quite a few overviews on the web, so might be worth you putting into your favourite search engine.
@freemo @solanaceae I think I tried TodoIst as well. Can't remember why I went for Nirvana... don't think there was much in them.
@mneme I get so much satisfaction from moving tickets to done I find myself created tickets for even small tasks! It helps me get organized too.
