P.S. Maybe this is obvious, but the digital side of my system is very much cloud-based, which I need, to be able to easily switch between the multiple devices and platforms I use, incl. Windows, Chrom...

You could try Outline 4D, though I haven't tried it on Windows 10 (it's another one of those software that haven't been updated for donkey's years).

Thank you so much for going into the trouble to lay out your system in such detail.
It looks very interesting. I will need to block some time out to properly delve into it, to see how I co...

P.P.S. I have considered the bullet journal system but I am not entirely convinced that reviewing all my tasks every day is a good use of my time.
My problem is that I end up with a vast number of t...
P.S. Time is of course not the only depleting resource. The daily (and indeed, weekly, and termly, i.e. leading up to a vacation) supply of mental attention (alertness) is probably even more important...
I'd like to invite comments and suggestions on how to design an analogue (pen, paper, notebooks etc.) or hybrid (combined with digital tools) system for personal organisation and time-management that ...

Thanks all for the update re v. 3. I'll be sticking with v. 2.7 then until v. 3 gets a bit more ready.

Has anyone been using WriteMonkey 3 beta here on a consistent basis?
I'm still on v. 2.7, just wondering if there is a benefit to switching over to v. 3 at this point:

Write app from HamsterCoders

There doesn't seem to be a way of trying it without buying, so I'm wondering, is this actually a browser-based tool?
They only say "Available on Windows, macOS and Linux", so it's not entirely clear ...
Smartdown - lack of activity

I never warmed to SmartDown 2 (it was a total redesign based on the code of another outliner the name of which escapes me), but SmartDown 1 was so light, nimble, and simple that I've kept it, especial...
