Todoist Landing Page

Todoist

Todoist is a to-do list that helps you get organized, at work and in life.

Therefore I only use one app to manage all my todos, after experimenting with a handful of Todo apps(Reminder, Google Tasks, WunderList etc), I find Todoist is the best fit for my use case, especially with it’s natural language todo creation and filter views(to differentiate personal todos and work todos), here is the projects and filter views I use:.

f.lux: it makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day. If you spend hours a day looking at a screen, flux can help reducing eye strain.

Dynalist

Dynalist is a web app that lets you break down and organize your thoughts in the format of lists.

The journal is chronological, however when we need to retrieve info, we either search by the keyword of the problem or filter out the achievements when we need to write promo doc or update our resumes, so there should be a label or filter feature for you to tag a paragraph to be achievement of certain category. I used Dynalist mainly because you can nest things infinitely, use labels to find certain content quickly and you can link anywhere within the app, lastly it support sync everywhere as well as backup. Here is the template I created:.
