2020 started using.
It has replaced Omnifocus, which I have used in the years prior.
Omnifocus is a great piece of software, but a bit too much / overwhelming for a personal task manager - more suited to complex needs.

So instead of (or in addition of) just checking emails, I'm reminded of things I need to do, which refocuses me.
Discovered also "Quick Entry with Autofill", so will be testing that:
requires download of a system helper to auto-fill contextual information in notes:
