Simple notepad app fixed my project tracking issue after 3 years of trying Trello

I kept getting overwhelmed with all the kanban boards and labels and due dates. Then my buddy Dave just said "write down the next three things you gotta do on a sticky note". Tried it with a free notepad app on my phone and it actually cut my wasted time in half. No categories, no color coding, just a list. Has anyone else found that ditching the fancy tools makes things easier?

Oh man, I feel this in my bones. I spent two years trying to make Asana work for me (so many boards, so many colors) and it just made me feel like I was failing at organization. A plain checklist in my phone notes was the thing that finally stopped me from overthinking everything and just getting stuff done.

The color coding was a Trap for me too.
