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 use HIIT on f-droid to time my stretching every day. It's actually meant for High Intensity Interval Training, but it's perfect for any activity that has regular intervals. I have it set for 60 second 'stretches' and 8 seconds for switching positions.

*Regular stretching (especially after physical activity) is shown to improve overall mood and health, especially if you have trouble sleeping.

taking apps meant for one thing and using them for something else is my favorite thing

even if this is still very related because it's physical activity timing

Yeah, it felt really cool in a specific way when I found it.
