What FOSS applications do you use for habits, tasks, and notes? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

I’m writing my PhD and sometimes feel like I’m losing my mind trying to balance home and work tasks, thesis tasks, personal and household habits, and potential connecting these to notes. I really struggle if everything isn’t in one place I can’t keep track of it.

I’ve been using Beaverhabits for habits, Baikal for Caldav connected to iPhone reminders and Thunderbird tasks, and memos and trilium for notes. I also, use a notebook for daily stuff and move it over to digital if it isn’t finished by 5.

Any recommendations? I would really appreciate it. I enjoy thinking about how to do and manage work efficiently but also need a firm system.

Maybe instead of choosing an app, you could consider the overall process of tracking what you need to do. Read David Allen’s book “Getting Things Done”. It’s short. Then you can apply that process using your favorite app.

My favorite app for GTD is emacs and org-mode.
