I&#x27;m looking for recommendations for either habits or software (I&#x27;m primarily using Android and OSX these days) that I can use to make myself more effective.<p>I find the process of breaking down my workload and personal life into small tasks that I can accomplish changes things.  I feel like I got something done.  I can see progress on daunting big ticket items.  I think about the bigger picture a little bit more.<p>But I haven&#x27;t found a way to actually track my tasks that I find acceptable.  I tried emacs org-mode.  It&#x27;s good feature-wise, but I simply don&#x27;t use it consistently, and sharing what I&#x27;m up to requires others to have emacs and org-mode installed.  Outlook task tracking, meh.  Keeping a onenote file up to date... it just doesn&#x27;t happen because I don&#x27;t live in onenote.  Jira works for software tasks, and maybe if I ran my own jira instance instead of the outdated&#x2F;permissions-restricted version that I have access to at work, I would like it better.<p>I&#x27;ve looked through the Google Play store and I&#x27;ve done some googling.  Everyone and their brother wrote a task-tracking app sometime in the last few years.  I&#x27;m having trouble sorting the wheat from the chaff.<p>What do you use?  What habits have you developed that keep you productive and help you communicate your workload status?
