Die App 'Tasks' von Alex Baker, die wiederum auf dem Code der Android-App von 'Astrid' beruht, ist zu einer flexiblen App für Aufgabenmanagement angewachsen. In den vergangenen Jahren hat sie mir tolle Dienste geleistet, auch wenn ich sie für GTD verwendet habe, wofür sie gar nicht konzipiert ist.
Jetzt habe ich mit 'Mindwtr' eine echte GTD-App gefunden und werde wohl Abschied nehmen von Tasks. Erstmal stehen nun aber Migrationsarbeiten an.

How do you manage your task list? If you're not happy with your current setup, give #Taskwarrior a try---it's a really lean, simple yet powerful and extensible tool for managing tasks. It also includes in-built syncing features so that you can use across multiple devices.
Recently, I needed to split tasks into smaller tasks. I came up with a quick script:

gibt es Empfehlungen für eine #todo-liste (zB nach #gettingthingsdone) in Open Source, gerne CLI mit strukturierten Exporten oder so? Microsoft Todo mag zwar gut sein, ich würde das aber gerne sinnvoll machen ;)

@FreitagsFrage Zum Sortieren nutze ich Ansätze aus #gettingthingsdone, also kategorisieren und in einem priorisieren. Ich habe eine 1/3/5 Regel: Arbeiten kann ich nur an einer Aufgabe, Dringend sind maximal 3, Wichtig maximal 5. Um das zu erreichen priorisiere ich zyklisch neu. Das nutze ich privat und im Job und wende es auf Mailclients / Posteingang genauso an, wie auf Projektmanagementwerkzeug und Todoliste.

Watching people online chat, ask questions, and generally get excited about their planners for 2026, I thought I would spend a few minutes to set up my Memindex-inspired planner version using 4 x 6″ index cards and tabbed dividers. It’s amazing how useful a $2.50 block of 500 index cards can be for planning out your coming year.Interestingly, I’ve recently come across versions of this same sort of tickler file recommended in mid-20th century textbooks for filing and indexing in business contexts:
Cadwallader, Laura Hanes, and Sarah Ada Rice. 1932. Principles of Indexing and Filing. Baltimore; Chicago: H.M. Rowe Company. page 134: https://archive.org/details/principlesofinde0000laur/page/134/mode/2up
Kahn, Gilbert, Theo Yerian, and Jeffrey R. Stewart, Jr. 1962. Progressive Filing and Records Management. 1st ed. New York: Gregg Publishing Division, McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc. page 190: https://archive.org/details/progressivefilin0000gilb/page/190/mode/2up
The careful observer will notice that both of the photos in texts by different authors nearly 30 years apart are the same! I would suspect that they’re from a manufacturer’s catalog (Remington Rand) earlier in the century. It’s even more interesting that one can still quickly create such a set up with commercially available analog office supplies now.

I quite like Oliver Burkeman’s “3-3-3 method” - for planning your day, you can realistically only do three hours of focussed work before you’re worn out, then choose three maintenance tasks to keep things ticking along, and three todo items so the wheels don’t fall off the bus.
Except that on days like this, it may turn out to be “2.5-1-can-I-go-back-to-bed-please?”

Again, I’m having a strong feeling of “How on earth is it possible to do all the things that need doing, in each day?!”
Why do I never seem to make progress*; why does The Immense List Of Things never seem to go down?
Is “Getting Things Done” only a tantalising dream?
* I do, yesterday I finished a small part of the Link code on my Transputer emulator, and continued sorting out my new laptop, so “never” is a bit of all-or-nothing thinking.

Has anyone here good resources to dive deeper into #GettingThingsDone and #OmniFocus? I want to revamp my task management and feel like my current implementation can be improved A LOT...

My "daily GTD review" didn't hold up quite as well as I expected. There were a few problems with it:
"must dos" were useful as often as they weren't. I ended up moving the truly mandatory stuff to the calendar instead, and when I need to concentrate on a handful of projects or actions I just create a new project and put everything there
the more projects I had, the longer the daily review took me while providing less value. I find that if I have many projects, it's a bit less important to have each one in tip-top shape all the time. Nowadays I just do a weekly review and then chug along, feeling assured that I have enough tasks to last me a week
such a detailed daily review made it easier to skip weekly reviews, since the lower horizons were taken care of and I didn't feel all that stressed about them. This kept me from working on higher horizons, impacting my overall happiness and motivation
I think daily reviews served their purpose as a crisis management tool, but I should have reduced them as early as possible.
Today, my daily review consists of processing the few choice inboxes and glancing through the calendar, waiting-for, and projects list. All the other stuff moved back to the weekly review, which expanded to also include periodic work on higher horizons.
We'll see what I think of this in one more year :)

Some thoughts on file organization
Within the team that creates the Movers Mindset podcast, we assign numbers to our projects. We use “R42” for our 42nd recording project, then R43, and so on. This enables us to start naming things from day one, in a way that we don’t have to change later. If you’re putting your files in a folder, what would you name it, that you could be sure wouldn’t change?
We also use our podcast’s initials on file names, “MM.” When we see files whose name contains,
MM-R42…we know what it belongs too. It’s part of the Recording-42 project for Movers Mindset.We also exclusively use people’s family names on files. So a raw WAV file from an interview is
20200423-MM-SMITH-TR1.wav… April 23, 2020 recording for Movers Mindset, of someone named “Smith”, and this is track one [a recording from one microphone.]20200423-MM-SMITH-TR2.wavis track two, and so on. No matter where you toss that file, it’s going to make sense.Eventually, a recording project might lead to one (or more!) episodes of our podcast. They get assigned episode numbers, EP56, EP57, etc. Then we have filenames like
MM-EP57…and it’s always clear what that is.Sometimes we have a dozen files to keep track of in a podcast episode and we end up with
20200423-MM-SMITH-TR1.wav20200423-MM-SMITH-TR2.wavMM-EP56-INTRO.wav(introduction recorded after interview)MM-EP56-OUTRO.wav(outro recorded in post production)MM-GCORD.wav(a little music ‘button’ used when joining bits of interview)
…the final episode is thenMM-EP56-SMITH.mp3Since I’ve typed this much, here’s another thing we do: We use consistently numbered folders to store the files. Every project has a folder,
2020.04.23 Bob Smith R42/EP56— we create2020.04.23 Bob Smith R42in our archives when we do the raw recording, and at the very end we add the/EP56to make it easier to find things. In side each project we create five folders1 assets,2 recording,3 episode,4 publication, and5 social— the leading number ensure they sort in nice order in various displays. 1 contains anything the guest gives us (photos, writing) or any photos we take during recording. 2 is the raw original recordings, 3 is everything to make a podcast episode (intro, outro, whatever we have to assemble, AND the finished MP3), 4 is anything we create as part of publishing the episode (transcript, articles, highlights ) and 5 is anything that’s ok for social media and sharing. And then we have a multi-terabyte file server with a “few” files on it:ɕ
