I’m writing my PhD and sometimes feel like I’m losing my mind trying to balance home and work tasks, thesis tasks, personal and household habits, and potential connecting these to notes. I really struggle if everything isn’t in one place I can’t keep track of it.

I’ve been using Beaverhabits for habits, Baikal for Caldav connected to iPhone reminders and Thunderbird tasks, and memos and trilium for notes. I also, use a notebook for daily stuff and move it over to digital if it isn’t finished by 5.

Any recommendations? I would really appreciate it. I enjoy thinking about how to do and manage work efficiently but also need a firm system.

    So I’ve got a nextcloud instance set up, and using the notes, tasks and calendar apps. There’s a note app for mobile already, for tasks I use Tasks.org and for my calendar I use fossify calendar. The last two I sync using DAVx5. It’s pretty nice honestly, and all of these apps have widget options which is amazing and really helpful for my productivity setup. Are there better apps or software out there? Probably, but for me simplicity is best.
