- Introduction
- Getting yourself a tool to organise your life can be life-changing. Personally, it helps me be less stressed out about figuring out what to focus on. When I’ve had lots of projects, sometimes it would take me half an hour just to pick where to start. These tools give me more confidence / less stress, knowing I’m spending time on what’s important today.
- It could be just a piece of paper or PostIt note, or apps like Google calendar and Google keep. While these tools are simple and great, there are lots of new generation productivity apps for organising your life.
- Many people use big apps like Notion and Obsidian that let you create a super complex system, but the problem is that it takes lots of time and effort to set them up and maintain the system, which is a reason why I gave up on these apps.
- So in this article, I want to introduce ones that are ready to use right out of the box, but also powerful and pack important features — such as notes, planner and todo list — to organise your life.
- Twos
- Twos is one of the best free apps to remember anything and organize your life. It’s a new app with such a simplistic yet beautiful design.
- It’s kind of mix between Google Keep and Roam Research. It’s got that simplicity of Google Keep and the flexibility of outliner apps like Roam.
- The strength of Twos is that it’s so quick and intuitive that it makes you want to write down more.
- Every day you get a new blank note where you can see your schedule and things to do. As the day goes by, you can add more things in your mind to the note.
- It’s great for capturing thoughts, memories, todos, book recommendations, movies to watch, links and pretty much anything you want to remember. This is what makes the idea of daily note great. You can write anything down in one place regardless of its category.
- After capturing things, you can organise them into lists, which are kind of like notes in other apps, It can be grocery list, places you want to visit, gift ideas, people you met, favourite quotes and so on.
- Twos has everything you need to be productive and organise your life right out of the box. And there’s no need for you to spend hours to set it up and maintain the system, which you can use for writing instead.
