I have tried many, many ways to stay organised and to capture my thoughts. One of my main issues is getting myself to actually look at what I've written down. I have a tendency to let things disappear into the background and click off reminders without even realising. I also love s physical notebook but it takes a lot to get into the habit of checking it daily.
One of the things I am trying is making my phone itself a dashboard for organisation using widgets. On my front page here I have a todoist widget and a small view of calendar. On the next homepage I have just one big Google keep note widget which I'm using as a brain dump for when I get random stressy thoughts in my head/ things I need to remember and deal with later. I also have a full monthly view of calendar as another widget on another home screen.
I really like it, especially the calendar but it is not foolproof. I am finding that im already ignoring the todoist list and still going back to Google keep which is one of my favourite apps for thought capturing.
I like the Finch app, but you need to use it with at least one other person.
It gamifies to-do items and self-help by growing a little bird friend who goes on adventures. You give the bird energy via completing to-do items, writing reflections on how you feel, and generally following a simple self-help regime.
It has some nice features like it doesn't berate you if all you can manage is "survive the day" and "just be". It is paid, but for those who can't afford it you can apply for a free subscription.
The devs seem to be good people. There's no ads, and you can delete any goals that might be upsetting or irrelevant. I deleted "talk to mum/dad" more because I'm no contact with her, and he's dead.
I recommend it. If you want a buddy, reply here and I'll give you my friend code. (If like 5 people use it I get a free micro pet in the app, just to be completely transparent)
Agreed on this app. I found it helpful during a rough time in my life - just a little pick me up cute friend. I no longer use the app but do recommend :)
