#askthefediverse which #foss productivity apps do you use? And how are they integrated?

Use case: starting a new job, taking a uni course, writing a masters thesis, plus personal goals to achieve. Walking around with a massive to do list in my head.

I'm trying out apps to keep track, but they're not integrated. Think mail in one app, calendar in another, Nextcloud + deck, tasks in a notes app. Since it's not integrated, I'm often doing double work or lose track. How do other people do this? 🤔

I try to keep it simple. In my experience when I have too many tools I spend too much time maintaining these tools (or just having them in my mind - did I clear that notification? did I check that feed?) and when "everything is integrated" then it starts to affect the way I tackle tasks because I start to organize and plan things not the way I want but the way apps support that.

So I ditched all extras and now I mostly use just three apps - Nextcloud Notes for quick notes, Tasks (tasks.org) for reminders and quick lists and Zim (desktop wiki) to organize my projects and keep important notes. None of these are really unique and you can easily replace them with something else but I like these the best.
