I’ve used Google Calendar, off and on, Ta-da lists, off and on, and every other organization app, off and on.
The problem: they’re easy to forget. I’d use it faithfully for a few days, then be away from my computer one day and completely forget to use it the next. Like most things in life, productivity and organization can resemble a rollercoaster.
