What apps do you use to stay organised?

Over the years, I've tried 15+ apps to help find some form of discipline and process but never found the sweet spot.
Now I use a combination of Notion, TickTick, Google apps and now a sprinkling of Freedom to keep me focused.
What about you?

Using Jira for my work from last 4 years and it suites me very well.

For a disorganized person apps bring in even more chaos - there is no order in life AND in the app:)

Notion, Calendar and Sublime Text.
Used Google Keep and now Notion for a lot of things because it's easy to stay synced with multiple devices and to share with others.
But tbh I always find myself coming back to handwritten notebooks. Just so much easier for quick todo lists and regular journaling to keep the chaos in my head manageable 😅🙃
I really like the eesel chrome extension. It automatically groups together webpages that you visit and helpes me keep my broswer much cleaner and more organised
@nathan_weinstock ooooooo this is interesting. I'll be checking this out, thanks!
Old school pen and paper!
Arc Browser has been a game changer for organizing tabs and just a better overall browser experience.
Hey Ian, great question. I use a multitude of apps that help me to stay focused/organized. I use Momentum to plan out my week, Asana for a closer look at tasks within each day, and Pomofocus.io to help with focusing on those tasks.
I've come full circle after many failed revisions:
1. To-dos: Any.do
2. Notes: Apple native app (was previously Evernote)
3. Pen and paper each morning for daily focus / to-do list

old school paper notebook.
If I bothered righting something down there, it's important. It feels important and it's easy to check it.
Yeah, it's not synced, but I tend to forget anything that is automatically uploaded to the cloud and synced without me noticing it.
I prefer Google apps.

Trello, the Notes app on my Mac and good old Google Calendar are my go-to's. Keen to check out some of the other app shared here though!
Sometimes pen and paper really does the trick for me 😄
@jenny_zhai 😲 It's hard to beat in the moment. I've leaned on David Seah's Emergent Task Planner a lot https://davidseah.com/node/the-e... there's something reassuring in committing to physical media.
@jenny_zhai You KNOW it's a big day when the pen and paper has to come out!
@jenny_zhai haha me too
@jenny_zhai I ain't letting this go haha
Trello. Since we started using it, we have started to handle our work in a much more practical way. Furthermore, everyone is aware of their tasks.
On the other hand, I'm still looking for an application that will discipline myself, I tried many applications but I was not successful. I am waiting for your suggestions!
@arda_finsmart I agree - Trello is my go-to. Love it.
@arda_finsmart Trello is great and still one of the most effective ways of managing life and projects for me. I've tried Kanbans in other apps and it's not the same.
@arda_finsmart I'm using TickTick, it includes the Calendar and Todos :)
@new_user_169f83d3ad I will try it. Thank you so much!

Google Calendar
I personally use Notion and Google Calendar to organize my days and week, and we use Trello as a team to organize, prioritize and follow our tasks.
They can turn your phone into a serious timesaver.
1. Google Keep. To begin, you'll need a note-taking app where you can consolidate your scribbles, lists, and fragmented notes.
2. Smarter Time.
3. Todoist.
4. Habit List.
5. Pocket.
