Its the new year and I'm making an effort to try to organize my life. The recording projects are predictable to manage, but I also have many other 'to-do' items... ie, wiring the patch bay, soldering some cables, do something with the ADATs, wash the car, etc..
Does anyone have any success with a time management app they like to use?
Ideally I'd like to estimate the time budget for a task.
Then have it in a list of 'tasks', and maybe easy to slide it into time slots? And mark it off when done..
I normally do this with pen and paper, but just curious if there's an app that's as good or better?
Thanks!

Glad I’m not the only one!
This video by Eric Valentine was eye opening for me. I’ve been trying out using Google sheets app, documenting things like he does then gray it out when complete. The sheets app is a little annoying to me to use on the phone, but it does work. You can insert pictures of gear settings. This is good for sharing with clients, they can add their requests. So far has been better than trying to sort emails.. lol.
It just got me thinking if there’s an easier app to use on the phone. Hmm.

Then you see all the time you spend here and we would miss you. |

I've gone back to a scheduling book . . . a timetable thing. Ink and paper!
I've also heard people call one of these things an 'agenda'. I guess I have an agenda now.
