There's a lot of to-do list apps, reminders, calendars etc out there advertised towards us to help us do things like break down large tasks into meaningful chunks and focus on what we need to do each day, but I want to hear from the community what do you guys think is the best so let's start a thread

Question. I tried to do the habit tracking thing but found I was overwhelmed by spending so much time tracking various things that it just became unsustainable. Did you pick specific areas you wanted to address or do you just do everything? I still do medication, but that's because I don't want to accidentally overdose. Again.

I've also never been able to keep a journal to save my life. 2 days is about as far as I get. So kudos to you for all the strategies you have going here.

The habits app is super quick to update. Takes me 30 seconds when I plug in my phone for bed. I do try to pick something to focus on each week, but the nice thing about the app I use is you don't have to do the things every day. Most of my goals are set to some number of times per week.

Hm, ok. Maybe I'll give habit tracking another shot. Thanks!
