#askthefediverse which #foss productivity apps do you use? And how are they integrated?
Use case: starting a new job, taking a uni course, writing a masters thesis, plus personal goals to achieve. Walking around with a massive to do list in my head.
I'm trying out apps to keep track, but they're not integrated. Think mail in one app, calendar in another, Nextcloud + deck, tasks in a notes app. Since it's not integrated, I'm often doing double work or lose track. How do other people do this? 🤔

1. Pen and notepad. You dismiss others as stupid when they say this, but in my experience, it's the most effective. Pre-corona, I had to travel to uni on the tube/train/bus, and the notepad was better than any flimsy app.
Very easy to "sync" and keep track, and infinite battery. No need to rely on some big company for storage or authentication.
Technology should be there to help us, not absorb us. I say this as a person who codes. Avoid #bloat!
2. Have one source of truth. Whatever it is (your notepad, a single markdown file you sync across devices, your todos app, emails...), decide wisely and strictly treat it as such. Maybe look into #BuJo.
Similarly, compartmentalise:

And learn vim if you haven't already!
