I have tried many, many ways to stay organised and to capture my thoughts. One of my main issues is getting myself to actually look at what I’ve written down. I have a tendency to let things disappear into the background and click off reminders without even realising. I also love s physical notebook but it takes a lot to get into the habit of checking it daily.

One of the things I am trying is making my phone itself a dashboard for organisation using widgets. On my front page here I have a todoist widget and a small view of calendar. On the next homepage I have just one big Google keep note widget which I’m using as a brain dump for when I get random stressy thoughts in my head/ things I need to remember and deal with later. I also have a full monthly view of calendar as another widget on another home screen.

I really like it, especially the calendar but it is not foolproof. I am finding that im already ignoring the todoist list and still going back to Google keep which is one of my favourite apps for thought capturing.

    Yeah I just have Google keep and calendar pinned to every browser on ever computer / laptop I use (personal laptop, work laptop, computer in my classroom (teacher), office computer).

    I’m also ATM having fun with obsidian. I want to open it whenever I go on laptop because it’s currently a novelty and I want to look at it. I’ve got periodic notes plug in, some kind of to do list plug in and another to do list plug in to make them roll over to the next day. I open up a daily note, check my to do and then check Google keep (where I dump thoughts) to see whether I need to add anything else to my to do.

    I still need to set up s way to sync to phone as at the moment I can only use on laptop. I’ve read his to do it I just…can’t be bothered.
