I feel like im always writing a to do list in my notes and then i just dont get anything done.

I have so much in my head that i need/want to do but i feel overwhelmed theres too much to do in each category of my life.

How do you all organise it?

Notebook, phone, apps? I need helppppp

Pick something and get on with it. Just do it for 10 mins if that is as much as you can manage. But start.

Works for me with report writing, housework anything else really.

I use the Trello app. Different list for different things. I have a work one,home stuff, kids etc. Each can then be split and you can drag and drop things from one place to another.

Really easy to use. You can colour code , share, add dates etc.

Brilliant.

For home a simple to do list on a sheet of paper.

For work I have a very simple bullet journal.
I use a two page spread for each week

To Do/ Chase/ Events or Meetings sections.

I occasionally insert other sections (eg. topics to raise with boss, list of interesting cases for teaching) in between.

It works for me. But if I lose my notebook I'm screwed!

Good old fashioned diary.

When things get me down and there are jobs waiting to be done I write a list but I don't adhere to it.

I'll start doing one of the jobs, finish it, and then I'll do another - then I return to the list and cross two jobs off. Having actually got something done I then choose another job and get on with it. It's the only way I can get motivated but it always starts with me actually physically doing something.

Hope this makes sense

Google Keep for simple checklists, Google Tasks for more complicated tasks with different steps/subtasks & Google Calendar for scheduling appointments.
