To-do list recommendations
Hey y'all, I’m looking for a better way of managing my to-do list for managing commissions and such. I’ve been using iCloud Reminders since it has good integration into macOS and iOS, but it has a few shortcomings, such as being a little annoying to manage nested tasks, and not having a good way to share things publicly.
I am looking for some combination of the following:
- The ability to have nested tasks/subtasks with tight coupling between things
- A public view where I can ideally also mark some items as private (showing as a placeholder just without any details)
- A tagging system
- Rough progress indication
- Time tracking and estimation
I am NOT looking for the following:
- A kanban board
- Full-on project management
Here’s the things I’ve tried and have bounced off of:
Trello
An okay kanban board but it’s not great for subtask management, and also I don’t want to be tied to Atlassian.
Hack and Plan
Good for group planning with a lot of complex dependencies but way overkill for what I’m trying to do.
GitHub Projects
The to-do view is nice but this is very much oriented around managing open issues on specific GitHub repositories, and doesn’t do a good job of organizing subtasks.
Gitea projects
A partial clone of GitHub Projects and everything that implies. Very much tied to software projects. Also as far as I can tell it only has a kanban view.
iCloud Reminders
Pretty good for nested task management but the UI is very fiddly and it doesn’t make for easy reorganizing stuff, and its tagging system is a bit meh. Also, no public view.
Keeping a text or Markdown file somewhere that people can see it (such as right here on this blog)
I mean this isn’t the worst idea, but it’s hard to maintain discipline on that.
I know a lot of folks who are doing commissions and have various organizational systems, but it seems like most folks I know are just using Trello. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
