I was once attracted by every new shiny productivity gimmick that would come around the block. I got tired of never using all of their 'features' and the propriety nature of the software since they often folded or were bought out etc.

Now, I am a simple text guy.

todo.txt - both cli and gui synced across computers and phone. Can be viewed anywhere and has a simple grammar. I use it as a personal kanban (i.e. priority of A means doing/do today; B means 'next on deck'; C means 'look at all the stuff you still need to do eventually')

markdown files with a .TODO extension for projects (although you could just have multiple todo.txt files for each project, I dont). And the projects I manage are not complex enough for more complicated solutions (although I do use Pagico for a few larger projects- but have been phasing that out).

I also keep a physical notebook for meetings and for projects. When an actionable item assigned to me comes up, I circle it in the notebook and then transfer it to the one of the files above.
