I have to manage a large number of relatively complex projects across multiple departments, I don’t see how a simple task system like one in Obsidian can handle that complexity. I have no idea what you do and your responsibilities may well be broader and more complex than mine but with that caveat, I don’t believe I could implement such a system effectively-though I’d love to think I could. So, before this it was iA Writer for a lot of the While I’d love to think that a consolidated system such as you describe would work, I suspect that it depends on the complexity of one’s responsibilities and tasks.

DEVONthink for RSS, read-it-later, and file managementįor what it’s worth, I had already abandoned the other task managers and was trying to build a task management system in DEVONthink (using custom metadata) when Obsi came along.

Obsidian for tasks and project management.So, my list is a lot simpler than and hah… (I don’t know how well this applies to Evernote’s solution-it looks like it imposes some ideas about task metadata on you.)

I’m always frustrated by the limited conceptual model apps like OmniFocus put on what a task is. Infinite customizability in terms of what you include in a task, including metadata.Federico Viticci explains this so well on Connected episode 344 (starting at 1h4m) No swapping between apps to log actions and ideas when in the midst of something. Getting rid of the task management app has two invaluable benefits for me: So, if everything (else) you have is in Evernote, putting tasks there too may be great for you. I have never been happier with my set-up since I moved tasks into Obsidian.
