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.

@ocean @seliaste
You can use Syncthing, FolderSync… even the monster Dropbox… What I use is Filen, but you have to manually download the folder for Android. This is not a big problem for me, though, because I'm mostly a PC user 💻️ I might look for other options in the future, but I'm OK now.
💡 Ah, and not to forget: You could use Logseq's sync if you like it in order to support the project (I personally enjoy it a lot, it helps me very much with learning, and it's not so hard to learn how to use it if what you want is not highly advanced text formatting)

I think zero of those options work for iPhone sadly… I do see the paid but worried about security

@ocean Plus, you can search for alternative apps for syncing, this is what I did too
