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.

Over the years I've tried so many apps for this. In the end, I always come back to having a physical notepad and printed calendar where I can write stuff and have it visible in my room

That's fine so long as you don't mind carrying your notepad and calendar around with you everywhere you go. I don't think most people want to do that considering there's already a pocket computer they're carrying around with them.
