I don't.

I like to just take things as they come.

I use to-do list app and a little notebook
TL;DR Emacs org-mode.

A private git repository containing my org files synced with my devices with syncthing, it's a git repository because I commit and push once or twice a month in case I lose all my devices at once, (very unlikely, but... the TAO of Backup http://www.taobackup.com/). On Desktop, I use Emacs (well spacemacs), on mobile Orgzly, to manage the actual work, there are still some glitches, but I stumbled upon this https://blog.viktomas.com/posts/my-workflow/ recently and I'll see how to integrate all this in my own workflow.

Edit: Seems there's already a blog post about something like what I'm using. https://hiepph.github.io/post/2017-11-24-emacs-org-syncthing...

I am using Restyaboard to organize my to-do list, which is very good.
Clearly, as all the comments you've ever posted say. If you're going to manipulate HN to drive traffic to your product, at least do it the smart way.
Now that I stay home all day, I use my whiteboard notecards[1], neodymium magnets, and a whiteboard. I plot them out on a 2-dimensional axis of:

- Impact within the next 2 weeks * certainty of that impact.

- Scope of the task * Difficulty of making an increment of progress.

I then hopefully pick the tasks with the highest impact per effort.

I'm working on incorporating some of the guidance from Dave Crenshaw's class Time Management Fundamentals.
