I use todoist to schedule actions (not a calendar block that a meeting will happen, but a "do x" event at a specific date and time)
For notes I use Obsidian, which results in plain Markdown files that I can backup. It has a daily plugin that creates a file for today. It also has a good vim mode and a lot more.
I wrote about these and other tools and how I use them here: https://mejuto.co/productivity-tools-and-services-i-use/
I use Standard Notes[0] and use tags to categorize my notes/TODOs. Heard great things about Obsidian[1] too, although it seems a bit overkill for my needs.
I don't really have a 'flow'. I don't beat myself up if I don't complete everything on the list, and usually the super-hard stuff is just taken off the list for being too hard!
I keep it as simple as possible: my daily task list in a text file open in a tab in a text editor. I also have a master task list of what I need to do in the week, which I use to populate the next day's text file.
A text file doesn't have all the bells and whistles, the integration, the alarms and alerts that a lot of todo list apps have, but it keeps me focused and works for me. And that's all that matters.
I use gedit on Linux , sometimes I have multiple files, sometimes a long one … what I don’t need I delete
I use similar flow with notion
Google Docs:
You can use Insert > Building Blocks > Meeting Notes, or build a template manually:
1. Create a heading for each day and insert the current date using @today
2. Add a checklist under the heading https://www.howtogeek.com/733363/how-to-create-a-checklist-i...
3. Add @today for each item when you insert it into the list (eg: a first created date). If you'd like the actual delta in days, you might need to write a function using apps script: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47545080/calculating-dif...
4. Optionally add a recurring calendar invitation (I called mine "Current Week") at the beginning of every week and Insert > Smart Chips > Calendar Event.
5. If you'd like to customize names, you can optionally create calendar events from Sheets: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59167098/create-calendar...
6. Optionally build a table of contents which you can toggle in the side-bar
