Seriously. No annoying unnecessary reminders to take the rubbish out or somesuch, every major date and appointment written in my own scrawled hand. Space at the back for financial sums etc. It works and it isn't annoying.

I hear you, in a way I'm duplicating my own labour as I already keep a little notebook with the most important outstanding tasks and info (phone numbers, names, itineraries, article titles, etc.).

On the other hand, software does have a few advantages, being searchable by keywords, and it's far easier to visualise big chunks of time.

I do agree with you, though, it is easy to take the idea too far. I've found apps designed to do things like remind people to drink water. What I've discovered in the past year is that there's a threshold to how much you can micromanage your own life before the entire thing becomes self-alienating.

I used to use rainlendar, it's a desktop calendar tool that includes a 'to-do' list section. Pretty sure it can sync to Google Calendar but that may require a paid version if memory serves. Depends on how you like your desktop I suppose, if you're a desktop minimalist you'd probably hate it. Can't really remember why I stopped using it, but now I just use Google Calendar in browser because it's 2016 and everything is done in the browser.

>it's 2016
Though that fact is far from obvious when using the browser version of Google Calendar.

In what sense? Can't say I've had too many major problems with it. The tight integration with Android is the main reason I'd choose it over any other cloud-based calendar.

Had you asked a couple of years ago, I'd have suggested using Lotus Organiser on desktop. It hadn't been updated for a decade, but IBM finally killed it off around 18 months ago.

Ah, that's beautiful. I get all weird over seeing properly organised notes, being that I am genuinely a sad-act that loves stationary. I may treat myself to a black A4 filofax just to hold documents together, soon.

I'm considering trying an app called Jorte, which seems to fit all of my requirements thus far. It's not much to look at, but if it's functional it would be really nice to be able to replace the dozen separate ways of recording things I currently use. Unfortunately it's another regularly paid service rather than a purchasable bit of software.

If this doesn't work, there's a few apps out there that merge Google Tasks and Google Calendar into one interface. Then I can just add a custom calendar on top of my regular one containing my daily routine.

I'll let you both know if it comes together, or if I'm just piddling away my time.

Have you ever been in a Muji? It's like a fucking The North Pole for people like us.

P.S. Stationery. Stationary is standing still in awe of the beautiful range of tiny pots and folders Muji sell.

I used to work for MUJI for a long time. I think every third customer would be commenting on how they love the stationery. Funnily enough, we once had a sign that read '10% Off Stationary Storage'.

In case you're interested, here's a lot of it used to make a model of Tokyo.
