   Extremely powerful todo list manager

   I used Remember the Milk for years, but they were slow to fix bugs and new features hardly ever appeared. Marvin is, as the name says, Amazing. Very powerful 'smart' lists of tasks, searching, customisation. It does take a while to get to grips with the huge range of features.

• Struggling with life, infp struggle the most? Please help?

  Again there are many great free ones out there, but my personal recommendation is definitely this one. It is paid, but the cost is not far off a pint of beer these days and you can customise it however you want (you could think of it as an investment in terms of the value it brings into your life vs the cost).

• How do you get over the hurdle of desperately wanting to start using a task manager but feel totally overwhelmed and panicked about trying to remember and input all the many things that should go into it, not to mention deciding which one? (AuDHD)

  I have recently realized that there will be no perfect tool you will find just by looking things up. You literally do have to try around w a few apps (or more traditional methods) and see which one you enjoy. It took me a while but I found smth called Amazing Marvin. I love it because it’s very customizable. I think when we try to look for the “perfect” tool, we really are looking for tons of customizability so we... Source: about 1 year ago

• How tf do I stop being lazy and stop wasting my life away???

  I struggle with similar feelings. For desk/at home work, the Focusmate app (focusmate.com) has been a huge help. It kind of single-handedly helped me earn back trust in myself. You get 1:1 virtual coworking sessions with another user where you follow a friendly entry/exit protocol, tell each other what your plans are and how it went at the end, and keep your camera on the whole time while you work (usually muted)....

• How do you connect with coworkers when working remote?

  Maybe you can get your company to create a Focusmate group or a discord channel? If you haven’t heard of Focusmate you should definitely check it out. I wfh and absolutely could not do so without it. It gives me a fix for interaction but not too much to get me distracted and it also helps remind me to take breaks. Source: 12 months ago
