You'll almost certainly need both paper and electronic solutions, because you'll remember stuff when you don't have paper handy. If you can get ideas out of your head quickly, that tends to help more than having the right medium available.
I like using paper for scribbling things down while working on a task, but then my phone and computer for almost everything else. And if I have something on paper that I haven't finished, I either move it into Todoist or throw it away.
I'm an old index card person, so I love ripping up completed task lists. It feels very therapeutic to me.
What apps and programs do you use?
I prefer to have one authoritative database of tasks (Todoist) and then I use whatever plain text or Markdown tools are available to me in the moment for short term lists. I have settled on Standard Notes for longer term/reference notes, but I could just as easily use anything with plain text files.
thank you! :)
