Ability to add web links, and images to entries.List of nice to have but can live without features include: Must be able to use it via the web or mobile app.Free or no reoccurring fees – I don’t want to pay a monthly subscription for a task management system but I’d be willing to pay a one time fee to buy a piece of software.There are so many options out there that it makes it difficult to pick something and get started. I might have good intentions and do it for awhile, but I know that I won’t keep it up for very long.Ī couple of weeks ago I decided that it was time to go back to a digital system and I’ve been stuck down a rabbit hole searching productivity sites, apps, and To-Do list ideas. That’s a decent idea, but I’m too lazy to do that on a regular basis. You might suggest that I take pictures of my pages at the end of each day and upload them to Evernote or Google Keep which allows text searching within images. But mainly, I’ll write down ideas and they will be forgotten forever. The best I can do when I want to find something I’ve written is to manually flip through pages. But with an analog system, I can’t go back and do an easy search to find these notes. I also make notes on ideas I have for articles that I want to write, quotes that I want to remember, and more. If you look at my pages above, you’ll see that I have a couple of notes where I talk about problems with my eye, and a note about blowing out a tire. It’s extremely simple, but it has been working very well for me. If I didn’t finish it on the day it was listed, I draw an arrow and add it to the next day’s list of tasks. If I finish the task, I put an X through it.

For example, click the image above and you’ll see my very dumbed down Bullet Journal system which consists of tasks with a box next to them. My main problem with an analog To-Do system is that there’s no easy way to search past entries.
