Project Management

How do you folks manage your projects? In Notes or Reminders? What’s your workflow between them?

Depending on the scope, how one’s defining the term “project” and whether in my private or professional life. Nowadays, everyone calls everything a project, even though the undertaking often does not meet the criteria for a project in the slightest.

Professional: Preferably everything in Mindmanager (Mindjet). Otherwise, in whatever software is utilised in the respective company.
Personal/Private: Simple "project overviews" in Reminders, projects in Mindmanager.

What about you?

Following the Getting Things Done (GTD) approach where a project is defined as a desired result requiring more than one step I create a note for each project.

GTD further advocates creating one Next Action for each project where a Next Action is a step sufficiently well defined that it can be completed more or less immediately without reference to any andditional information. I document the next action in the project note and then create a linked Reminder by high lighting the next action text and sharing to Reminders.

I use a Smart Folder to perform periodic review of all active projects. I use the Reminders app continuously to manage execution of Next Actions.

I use a combination of Apple Notes and Apple Reminders. I have a project note, that includes a timeline, resources, and external links. I then share the note to Reminders, with each reminder being a task that needs to be completed, including a start date and deadline reminders.

I don’t use the subtask option in Reminders. It feels limited for me.

Depending on the size of the project, it might just be a few tasks/reminders. If it’s a larger project, I will create a separate List in Reminders.

Also, depending on the complexity of the project, I might link the project note to each task in Reminders. But usually it’s just the start and deadline tasks.

I really appreciate your feedback. Would it be possible to have a screenshot to illustrate your example?

That's the most amusing comment I've read in a long time. Thank you for that! 👏🏼
I feel you -even though I am just as unconvinced by trying micromanagement in Notion as I am in Apple Notes.
