I’ve used note pads for my to-do list for 10 years. I tried to convert to Outlook To-Do and failed miserably at making the conversion. What are others doing to track to-dos? Thanks!

I was also a paper person and every electronic method I tried always failed because it just didn’t click right.

Now I use an iPad and an Apple Pencil to take notes and make my lists in OneNote. My OneNote syncs with my computer so I have everything available for quick reference that way too. It’s been the best of both worlds for me

Does OneNote have the text conversion feature when you’re using your Apple Pencil?

Current method is a “free” calendar item with my entire to do list. I move it to the end of each week and it’s just a rolling list of reminders listed out by client. Red or highlighted are more urgent.

I use OneNote. I create separate “notebooks” for each client and include meeting notes, to dos, and any additional information by area, etc. They have these great little check boxes you can add as a bullet.

I’m the same - personally have only found success with Notes in Google Keep! There’s an app so you can access from your phone, too which is helpful

Try Planner in Microsoft, esp if you like Google Keep! Benefit is you can easily filter to view priority items, due dates, etc, and can link in the related docs that are associated with the task.

Was accepted into a T15 program without a scholarship and currently waiting to hear back from a T20 where I feel I have a great shot.

Have money invested in S&P 500, and now starting to regret not having diversified to international stocks as well. Would want to diversify now to buy a total stock market index, however since S&P 500 dropped more than that index, not sure it’s worth to crystallize losses to do that. The alternative is to stop buying S&P 500 and start buying other markets as separate ETFs, to eventually bring in line approx. with total stock market index. Any advice on the best course of action?
