It depends on how I am feeling for the day. If they are just reminders I will use my phone if they are must get dones I will write them down. I use the undated passion planner it\u2019s great!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gianne A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">There are pros and cons if you will note your daily tasks on paper&#x2F;app. Personally, I prefer to go the analog way (specifically bullet journal) for daily tasks. For project tasks, I prefer apps (ex. Microsoft Planner).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Beverly U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think paper, because it is something I feel becomes a personal note. An app though very convenient, is still something which is digital, can be forgotten, notification blocked or simply ignored. But a paper with a handwritten note is never forgotten, clearly visible and you cannot ignore it because it has personal touch<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mathilde W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me, the best choice is the OmniFocus app for mac and iOS. I don\u2019t have problems with distraction and so. Facebook is not my thing. So the phone, for me, is a tool for productivity. An intelligent app is a tool, as well. I have many different fields and directions of work. And it helps a lot to have a possibility to switch between perspectives depending on my mode and priorities. In the app, I can jump between various filters that show just a subset of my plans and tasks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Leah J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually use a note pad but I\u2019m recently trying it in this app. I\u2019ve done it for three days straight. I think either on is effective as long as you pick one and stick to it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tanya Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer paper but using paper often leads to long confusing lists as I get overwhelmed and also have adhd. So even though writing on paper is preferable using an app that is simplistic is more productive and easier.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ines N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Interesting question. For me both works but I separate digital and paper lists by category, like  if I need to keep history of them then it&#39;s more handy in an app which it makes easier for me to look up later. I like the portability of apps because I can cross items with a tap when I complete them on the go. It&#39;s more flexible to edit&#x2F;add remarks as events unfold and occasionally I have to fine tune or modify anything. On the other hand, simple short-term tasks like a shopping list for example, go on paper because it gets discarded anyway.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Aditya P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">on a paper or precisely say in a note-book. i used to write my to do list in the same notebook which i&#39;m using for log my day. so all things for today are in one paper in front of me ; )<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kristen Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try and write my to-dos on paper, like a sticky note, and stick it up somewhere in my room where it\u2019s easy to spot. That way I remember to do everything on the list.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bri E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Paper. It feels more tangible and I can commit it to my brain better. To do list apps never work for me unless it has a widget thats right in my face every time I unlock the screen, but even then it&#39;s an 80% chance I ignore it. Plus, I love the act of actually handwriting things.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Raquel F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">In a way I prefer to write on paper because it feels like the words have more meaning, but on the other hand writing daily tasks in an app is more practical because I take my phone everywhere, so I don&#39;t have to carry an agenda with me, I never lose the list and it allows me to organize and reorganise the order of the tasks more easily<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Aubri E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Definitely paper. I use notebooks and papers that I threw away to a corner long long time ago. This is a environment friendly and very effective method. It&#39;s more effective than using an app because when I mark as complete the task with a real pen it gives me much more satisfaction. I really feel it my bones that I achieved something.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Be Ta N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Paper, definitely. Paper gives your list a sense of tangibility. A sense of being real and serious. Plus, you should never underestimate the perks of physically crossing or checking off an item, a completed task from the list! Also, when you are finished with a page or two, you can even rip them out! To that end, I recommend using a spiral notebook. Have fun planning your day! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Julian U. I think it depends on the person and their mood.
