I use google sheets. I find it more easy that using complex todo lists.<p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;users&#x2F;answer&#x2F;9310268#1.1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;users&#x2F;answer&#x2F;9310268#1.1</a><p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;benjamin-dada&#x2F;tutorial-how-to-build-your-own-beautiful-todo-list-sheet-e917f8c7670b" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;benjamin-dada&#x2F;tutorial-how-to-build-your-...</a>

TL;DR Emacs org-mode.<p>A private git repository containing my org files synced with my devices with syncthing, it&#x27;s a git repository because I commit and push once or twice a month in case I lose all my devices at once, (very unlikely, but... the TAO of Backup <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.taobackup.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.taobackup.com&#x2F;</a>).
