1. Pen and paper for to do lists -
2. Outlook for all meetings and I’ll drop emails into outlook calendar for reminders.
3. For more strategic goal setting, general accountability and habit building,
Best Self Co has a great 3 month calendar I love - https://bestself.co/collections/all?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=639057588&utm_content=29673714763&utm_term=best%20self%20co&gclid=CjwKCAjw2dD7BRASEiwAWCtCb_-g4eCL8_T3YXLTr62sIGOCMxGQm-5J7DBb6OJ-U8b4g4BLi5tvbhoCIEsQAvD_BwE
I tried Todoist briefly but got overwhelmed by it really quickly. It is not very flexible, so I went back to using an old fashioned pen and paper for checklists. I do use my calendar to mark deadlines and sometimes block off time to work on a project. I also use productivity timers.
Reporting back re: Marvin—so I’ve set up all my cases/matters and subprojects and so far I really love the interface. It’s easy and intuitive and customizable. I am ashamed to admit that I kept a lot of deadlines/to-dos in my head and it’s such a relief to have them organized and outside of my head.
I agree with this, I tried using outlook, todo list, etc but think the best thing I’ve done is pen and paper. I do white board with different colors for different things for long term, short term more immediate tasks I bought a journal and go day by day.
Asana app is helpful but I always fall back to to paper do lists in the end
I actually talked to a time management coach about this and according to her pen and paper to do lists are most effective for most people (as long as you have some kind of system and aren’t just writing random reminders on post it notes, like I was doing)

Anybody have a specific notebook/pad they like for this?
Guess I’m the unpopular opinion here. I’ve been using Todoist for years. It managed all my assignments in law school, during the bar exam, and now it manages my tasks in practice. I integrate it into my google calendar for work and time blocking. It also contains shared projects with my wife for things like shopping lists and household chores. We even assign who is responsible for which chores so they appear on our individual lists. Todoist runs every aspect of my personal and professional life, right down to when and how often I walk the dog. I will say I find it more useful now than ever before because it now offers a kanban board view for projects. This is great for managing in progress stuff.

I’d love to find a good organizational app. I use old fashioned pen and paper. All the apps are overwhelming and end up taking up more brain space than they save!
I am currently testing out Amazing Marvin. I will report back.
I’m working on trying ClickUp so we’ll see!
I’ve been using Todoist for a few months and I just gave up and switched back to a paper planner last week. I just hated looking at all of the unused white space on Todoist. I need things to be a little more colorful for me to visualize projects well.
