What FOSS applications do you use for habits, tasks, and notes? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

I’m writing my PhD and sometimes feel like I’m losing my mind trying to balance home and work tasks, thesis tasks, personal and household habits, and potential connecting these to notes. I really struggle if everything isn’t in one place I can’t keep track of it.

I’ve been using Beaverhabits for habits, Baikal for Caldav connected to iPhone reminders and Thunderbird tasks, and memos and trilium for notes. I also, use a notebook for daily stuff and move it over to digital if it isn’t finished by 5.

Any recommendations? I would really appreciate it. I enjoy thinking about how to do and manage work efficiently but also need a firm system.

I mean if you want one app to rule them all, there's only ever been one option... Emacs. It can be your text editor, task organizer, calendar... operating system. If by work efficiently you mean endlessly feel the need to make tweaks and modifications, and maybe learn an entire idiosyncratic language while you're at it... Emacs. Praise be.

You mean Vim?
