I use jira software for task management! It’s just me on the team, so it’s maybe a bit overkill, but I’ve found scrum / sprints to be massively helpful in prioritizing important work.
It sucks jira is in the cloud, but I’m yet to find an open source scrum system with the same features. Taiga.io comes close, but i don’t yet have a reason to switch; i’ve been using Jira for two years with no issues.
emacs org-mode
Jira and mails marked as unread until i have worked through them haha :)
I’ve got various text files in Markdown format.
I also use a small CLI program to loosely manage them. Basically, it just creates a new file in a predetermined folder and opens it in my text editor, which I’ve bound to a global shortcut, so it’s just one keypress for me to start jotting something down.
Well, and then it also allows searching through all note files and things like that.Jira , mostly. It kind of sucks but it’s what we use.
Sublime text for quick notes.
Some people like notion but I often find it redundant with jira, and it’s often write-only memory.
Service Now.
If it’s not a ticket it’s not a task that needs doing.
Don’t complain to me, that is what the company policy says.
Standard notes? They got bought out by proton
Post-Its and flagged Slack messages if I ever remember to check those
A little notebook I carry around with me
This is me, boss comes in with a new task, I immediately whip out my green notebook and start writing as he’s talking then let him know I’ll get to it when I’m done with my current task. I use black for writing out the task and subtasks, red for checking items I’ve completed already, slashing through tasks that are no longer required, or writing notes that come up during the task (like ticket numbers). I think I’m like just below halfway through the notebook I started in February.
In the past I’ve used Spice, RT, Jira at work. Freshdesk free works for home. Also a simple bullet list in Google docs.
TickTick
It’s what Wunderlist used to be like before Microsoft bought them and buggered it up, but keeps getting improvements.
People ask me to do shit and I do it… unless someone asks me to do something else before I’m done.
