Productivity tools that actually make you more productive

I’ll respond to your invitation in a moment, but I want to quickly share this simple suggestion. Do not store ideas in your task manager. I keep all ideas in a note. IMHO, a task manager should only store projects and related tasks with links to research, project notes, brainstorming, ideas, and more. Regardless of the specific app, keep the task manager as lean and mean as possible.

Here is a screenshot of how I use Reminders. As you can see, I have links to Notes and Google. Other tasks include links to DEVONthink, email, etc.
