I'm a developer, scaling up at work, as well as in my life recently (trying to be more present for my partner, fitness, social circle etc).<p>I'm having a hard time keeping it all together.<p>What are some worfklows - software or otherwise - you use to stay on top of tasks/goals/projects? I have realized I spend a lot of time trying to keep managing projects rather than doing the project itself.<p>Do you use JIRA for life, or Linear, or Obsidian, or pen and paper? Yearly goals, monthly+weekly breakdowns?<p>How do you know you're making progress on house repairs, chores, as well as work? Keeping on track for any administrative processes like taxes, courses, travel (or other) visa's, driver's license etc?<p>Thanks,
An overwhelmed person

Yearly goals, monthly+weekly breakdowns?<p>The tool doesn’t matter. Just pick a simple one and be done with it. The reminders app built into your phone works great. You sure as hell don’t need JIRA to manage your life.<p>You are procrastinating doing the work. Sit down, make a list of everything you have to do. Then pick one thing and do it. Then, choose the next thing to do and do that. Rinse and repeat.
