1/ There are no "right" apps to use for note-taking or task management. But sometimes it's helpful to see what other people are using.
With that, here's a quick thread on My Productivity Stack: The apps I use to build my second brain

2/ Notion - My life OS
Everything in Notion revolves around my Dashboard. I use it as a jumping-off point to access my life silos for ideas, content trackers, and other basic organization.

3/ Obsidian - Live notes, thoughts, and ideas
Obsidian is most like my "second brain". I use it to take notes on articles, research topics or ideas I'm curious about, and practice the bullet journaling method throughout the day.

4/ Evernote - Set it & forget it
Evernote is my filing cabinet. It holds important receipts, bills, and documents that I want to get out of my office, but don't want to throw away completely.
You never know when you'll need that tax return.

5/ Things 3 (@culturedcode) - Task manager
Things 3 is basically wizardry. I use the quick capture tool at least 15x/day and the ability to create projects and areas within the app is genius.

6/ IOS Reminders - Quick capture (On the go)
Although it's not a great app, I've optimized the native IOS Reminders app to use as a quick capture tool when I'm out and about.
Because Siri can add stuff to my reminders, I never lose ideas that come to my head when I'm driving.
