  • Depends on whether the team I am in uses Scrum or not.

    If the team uses Scrum, everything is on the backlog, so rarely do I need personal lists.

    If the team doesn’t use Scrum, then I set up my own personal Scrum board. That way, I can deal better with people coming in and saying “hey, snek_boi, this task that I just thought of is urgent and I need you to drop everything you’re doing and do this now”. With the Scrum board, I can then ask them if what they need me to do is more important than whatever’s on top of my personal backlog, and often they themselves realize their ‘urgent’ task is actually not that urgent.

    Since you asked about software, I’ve used Taiga and Notion.

    Also, I used to do GTD religiously, but now I mainly use Scrum because it forces me to ruthlessly prioritize. Since you asked about apps, I’ll tell you that when I did GTD, I used Joplin with Syncthing (or some combination of Syncthing and a local notes app). I switched to StandardNotes before stopping doing GTD altogether. Maybe I’ll come back to GTD in the future.

    I also almost started Bullet Journaling, buying the journal and all, but a friend of mine was quite depressed and seemed to need it more so I gave it all to him.
