Notebook + pen. Checkboxes. A mix of half-hour timeblocks ala the Pomodoro method, and plain checklists for shopping tasks. For stuff that’s extra important or is happening in the next few days I slap a post-it on my desktop monitor somewhere I’ll have to constantly move it when I’m using the whole screen to work.

If I want to get fancy then I have a couple of bookmarks to custom myNoise.net multi gens configured to run for 25min.

I also have some pretty notebooks and a cheap fountain pen, this combo makes me feel like a witch when I write in them and that’s fun.

I have tried a ton of apps and they all fall by the wayside. I have to buy a new bottle of ink once or twice a year and the occasional notebook. Simple. Gets out of the way and never requires me to open up the Attention Sink and lose a half an hour getting distracted by a Telegram message or whatever.
