Trouble is, it feels like writing notes on Post-its and flinging them down a flight of stairs.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve been using a Google Doc to track things for a long while but it&#8217;s rather unwieldy!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/workflowy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/workflowy.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1635489798446000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFr2ConU4T620DYnL6jOlQOtfSRYQ\">Workflowy<\/a> is very similar but I liked Dynalist better. The Android and IOS interface is a little better (I can drag things around more reliably) and the Google Calendar integration works well.<\/li>\n<li>I tried to get started with <a role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2FMonday.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3H07Ryp5MB6e9VzEdiFeAI6RsYLdAruG29_TTSNePv6-6Q252_J0ORsWI&amp;h=AT28zt1JaAZHOz5RPGZoUNI4xKAFLrXPEz0tiyBeSFPm2MJCkyObT6jFcZUPk4jMqt3piYQrCchYQ5VGlz9d6h0afa17f5rSPCD2zmHDyOkMoOmeF1ypNwSDi_xBXEiTMwTFwcgpoCcapUZm_g&amp;__tn__=R]-R&amp;c[0]=AT1Uan0IvjRTzXwyPKSZqODnpmK5kD_X9Uk2I-FVuvIpoBPWat8o0bKVFtHPTWEiYIR1algb9Qa632swBeOhgM8wIUuPdKouSfTiU6hIdY-27xcin2z_gDn6piGThVjVZ_QtIV5DyOQyArrQcTqq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252FMonday.com%252F%253Ffbclid%253DIwAR3H07Ryp5MB6e9VzEdiFeAI6RsYLdAruG29_TTSNePv6-6Q252_J0ORsWI%26h%3DAT28zt1JaAZHOz5RPGZoUNI4xKAFLrXPEz0tiyBeSFPm2MJCkyObT6jFcZUPk4jMqt3piYQrCchYQ5VGlz9d6h0afa17f5rSPCD2zmHDyOkMoOmeF1ypNwSDi_xBXEiTMwTFwcgpoCcapUZm_g%26__tn__%3DR%5D-R%26c%5B0%5D%3DAT1Uan0IvjRTzXwyPKSZqODnpmK5kD_X9Uk2I-FVuvIpoBPWat8o0bKVFtHPTWEiYIR1algb9Qa632swBeOhgM8wIUuPdKouSfTiU6hIdY-27xcin2z_gDn6piGThVjVZ_QtIV5DyOQyArrQcTqq&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1635489798446000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGqpQ6STtKAzHG4STwZgY6E-awGgQ\">Monday.com<\/a>\u00a0but it looked like a bear. It&#8217;s a team app, not a solo app.<\/li>\n<li>Looked at OneNote but the lack of calendar integration and&#8230; I don&#8217;t know&#8230; &#8220;sitting flat&#8221; didn&#8217;t excite me<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/evernote.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/evernote.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1635489798446000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHnS0pd5NTc18KFWI0cH_LEGPBgsw\">Evernote<\/a> might have worked. I tried it a few years ago and it seemed to want to push me into their system instead of adapting to me. Maybe I&#8217;ll try again someday.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/checkvist.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/checkvist.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1635489798446000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG-J8gmG8gQ_NxxoTiwB7HnMOuAvg\">Checkvist<\/a>\u00a0might have worked but it seemed to be very (a little too) shiny-new.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/obsidian.md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/obsidian.md&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1635489798446000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFXEKtSXVPlXOA9Cnc0jjZHePj4Ag\">Obsidian<\/a> is nice but doesn&#8217;t have calendar integration. It feels like it&#8217;s more for creating and managing information webs. That&#8217;s rather useful but not what I need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Right now, I&#8217;m still getting used to using Markup language instead of&#8230; I don&#8217;t know what you call it&#8230; &#8220;enhanced&#8221; text? For example: a link looks like [this](https:\/\/lee.org) instead of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lee.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/lee.org&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1635489798446000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHqfhpuZj-4u0VGvYsu9EQM8d77NQ\">this<\/a>. And I&#8217;m still learning all the keyboard commands;\u00a0 the graphic interface is very good but I want to use keyboard commands for their speed! It seems like all the commands are there but.. fingers! It reminds me of EMACS a little.
