Hi,
I’m a new checkvist user, been playing around with creating notes and tasks for a while now but given how flexible this app is, I would like to understand how Checkvist fits into your notetaking or task management workflows. How are your lists organized? Would love to get some ideas, thanks.
For what it’s worth: I use it as a LIST manager. I have about 100 checklists for various processes. I don’t use it for email, I don’t use it as a calendar, I don’t use it as a task manager. I use it as a checklist manager. Beware of Zawinsky’s Law!!!
I’ve been loosely following The PARA Method: The Simple System for Organizing Your Digital Life in Seconds for a year or so.
I use Checkvist in several ways. I have about 20 lists for keeping my PKM. My main list is a To Do or Task list. The ToDo list has headings for Focus, Next/Maybe, Scheduled and Waiting. Having the headings makes it easy to work on a few items that are important for the day. A few years ago KIR suggested a mobile app called Braintoss. Since I have to work on mobile frequently, Braintoss allows me to capture Text, Voice or Pictures quickly and send them directly to Checkvist. When back in the office, I can work in Checkvist to plan, schedule and move these items to any appropriate list. Also, being able to Pin or Focus on any list item on either desktop or mobile is a fantastic feature.
@justin , thanks for mentioning PARA method - I haven’t researched it.
Do you have 4 top level lists according to the methodology or you use list tags to assign a list to a specific category? Could you elaborate a bit?
Thanks 
My current practice is I have 1 PARA list with 4 top level list items
Above all that I also have
I also occasionally return to ponder Tiago’s “CODE” process – The 4 Levels of Personal Knowledge Management - Forte Labs – Checkvist’s simple flexible web UI has felt conducive to combine each of the steps into 1 tool for me.
