I'm hoping now that I've upgraded to an iPhone 13 I should be able to handle Obsidian on my phone in a frictionless way that keeps me committed to it.

What stopped me from fully committing to Obsidian as a task manager in the past was that I had a very old Samsung phone which could barely function. Not only that, when I can have one window for 'TODOIST' (my todo page) and then my 'TICKLER' in the next window side-by-side, it feels like a frictionless way to get organised. Obsidian seems like the one application which can keep up with me when my thoughts are blazing. Whilst these are designed for task management and obviously can remind you at specific times and locations - I find something simply comforting about writing the lists in different toggles (projects) and being able to highlight something in yellow (rather than using an Eisenhower matrix).īetter still, using Todoist and TickTick can sometimes feel slow and sluggish. In the last 12 months, I have studied the ideas of David Allen and Tiago Forte and moved onto Todoist, TickTick and now returning to iOs: Reminders.

However, I have historically liked writing lists and deleting/editing as I go along.

I know that some people would be horrified at the idea of using it as a task manager. Obsidian operates on local markdown files and excels as a PKM system.
