Enjoy the detours!

I don’t do it deliberately, but over the years I used some tools as to-do list without declaring them as such. For example, my open tabs in Firefox on mobile and desktop. Both are basically different to-do lists because I use them on different topics.

As next is my mail client. The inbox is also like a to-do list. Every mail I keep in here needs work. Not immediately, but I should do it every so often.

Messengers are also used as a to-do list. But more of people I should write some day.

My calendar is another one.

And the one I realized that I’m doing this, was Claude. I use the app on my phone and saw that I only kept old conversations, where I think I will later come back to them and continue my research.

On the last weekend, I thought about unifying them into one. I do some agile with my wife in the apple reminders app. We are having once a week after breakfast a short conversation on what we want to accomplish in this week. And then we put the to-dos into a list. We also have one list for each quarter with stuff that, we think, needs to be done in this period. So I already use the reminder's app for family stuff and some small to-dos that don’t fit in my to-do apps above. 😅

While I write all this, I don’t know whether I should unify all in the reminders app or just keep it as it is. Because, if everything is in one app, it could be a bit overwhelming? 🤔
