Hello Fastlane Hivemind,

What tools do you all use to stay organized?

I have started following @ZCP's advice about outreach(he has a great YouTube channel btw) and have been flooded with opportunities.

My main focus is managing a transitional living for people with mental illness. The goal would be to figure out how to create an amazing experience for residents in the same way that a nice restaurant can produce a good feeling on date night.

The challenge is that I'm hitting a wall in my organization skills. Would be nice if I didn't have to reinvent the wheel.

I'm currently implementing:

A work journal where I write areas that need improvement as well as my general thoughts about how the day went.

Todist for To Do tasks.

And Google Calendar for time sensitive and repeating tasks.

So what to you all use?
