Best organizing apps and software...

Why do you feel like you need to go all electronic? I am a paper planner, then I make any lists I need in the Notes app on my iPhone.

I do a bit of both - I keep appointments electronically in the calendar on my phone, and notes about things are kept either in a notebook for a specific "task" (i.e. dd's wedding) or in my planner. copies of documents that I need to refer to are kept in a google drive. I can access the google drive from any of my computers (home and work) or my ipad or phone if needed although they are hard to work with on the phone.

I found I can't do totally one or the other. as for reminders, I will make appointments on my phone to remind me of something I need to do

I keep all appointments in my phone calendar. DH and I share an iTunes account, so we put the kids' appointments there, too. It's been a lifesaver, and neither of us has so many work-related appointments that it gets too cluttered - we don't put "normal schedule" items such as music lessons in there unless they're not at the normal time.

All of my lesson plans go in my laptop. I tried a paper planner last year, and it worked really well until the end of fall term. Then, suddenly, I wasn't on top of it, and I scurried back to my electronic lesson plans. The big plus for the paper planner was that it stayed at school (unlike the laptop), so my lessons were accessible in case I had a sub. Not sure that even happened, but it was nice insurance.

Daily to-do lists go on paper, though. At school, I keep a little spiral notebook for lists. The spiral stays in my purse in case I think of something while commuting, etc. At home, to-do lists go on scrap paper (I have a little bin of half-sheet recycled papers on my desk).

I use the apple calender for events, appointments and deadlines. I use Habitica.com for keeping up with day to day stuff, to-do lists, and multi-step projects

I'm another combo user. I have a paper planner that I add my work appointment and home appointments to and I use my phone for personal reminders, to do lists, shopping lists.... I have Alexa at home and add things to my to do and shopping lists both manual with phone and by speaking to her- whichever is easier at that time.

I use Wunderlist for my list making for home and work projects. You can invite people to join your list if you are collaborating on a project and assign tasks/deadlines to people. You can group lists into sub folders (for example, home or work). There's an online site so you can use it on your desktop and phone/iPad.

At home, this has been awesome for keeping shopping lists with the entire family and for assigning household tasks and setting reminders for the person it's assigned to. You can also attach photos/files to task items.
