> Project managing my life

Actually I started setting up a Redmine to pursue more complex goals that are usually not related to work.

In the past I also used classical todo lists on a sheet of paper or Asana for some time. But I gave up both, what I observed happens after using this 'tool' after a while: indeed a lot gets done, it's even fulfilling check an item, especially on paper. So after a year or so, the things on the list end up being more and more difficult to do. The only easy tasks are the recently added ones but the list becomes more and more static.

Problem with todo lists is that they are the end product of some ideas that happen at random times. But you lose the idea behind it, so a proper project management tool is worth it. (In fact when you look at how Asana developed over time, it converges into something like that...)

Redmine seems like a very big tool for just one person though, with issues trackers and all.

Something like trello seems more the scale.

Personally I just wish it had TeX support. Does anyone know a good, personal project management tool that allows writing sections in latex?

Have you tried, or considered trying org-mode?

I found that once I got over the hurdle of learning emacs, the friction in managing tasks once you have learned the tool is nearly nil.

Further, it definitely supports embedded latex fragments, exporting to pdf, etc.
