Todoist

I'm a big fan of Todoist, using due dates on tasks for things I'd like to get done by a certain time. My to-do list is semi-organised, and could do with some work to structure it more strategically by area: currently it's a little too tactical for my liking. This is partly a reflection of starting to move from a hands-on role to a more strategic one.

ReclaimAI

Reclaim is great for time blocking. I use it for a lot of my big tasks that take longer than one hour, especially if meetings are starting to take up more of my time in a particular week. It's great to be able to rely on my calendar to tell me what I should work on next, as well as blocking time out from the inevitable meeting requests. I also use Reclaim's Habits for important things I want to do weekly - for example I have a "Big Picture" Habit that only schedules on days I'm not in the office. This forces me to take a step back and think about those important (but not urgent) higher level things.
