Do you know of any software that helps with check lists for activities. I’m thinking of something that reminds me everything I need to grab before going fishing, for example.

Ideally, you’d have templates for your activities saved. Then, when you’re about to start one of those activities, you’d create a new ‘instance’ that would automatically give you the check-list for that one time.

I’ve been looking for a while, but in a sea of productivity apps I couldn’t find anything like this.

    Joplin. Just make a note. I think they have a to do list feature too but I just make a regular note myself.

      There are two ways to do a to-do list in Joplin: within the text of a single note or at the next level up, where an entire folder can be populated with full-fledged notes you can individually check off. The flexibility is really nice.

    I use Obsidian for this. I create template notes for each activity with all the checkboxes, then when it’s time to do the activity I just go “Create new note from template” and choose the right template.

      I’ll check this out. New from template would work. I can see how it could be much cooler for an app activity focused to be able to track how often or when you did an activity, but creating from template covers what I need. Thanks

        Thats basically what I am doing, but with logseq, which is open source.

        The principles are differing, where Logseq is an outliner.

        But creating a template including e.g. #fishing with a bulletlist which can be checked and using this template in your journal you will have as backlinks in the fishing page the occurences of when you used this hashtag.

    Not to sound insensitive, wouldn’t keeping a checklist in a text file/note/etc, then copying it when you want to check it off completely fulfill your requirements?

      Kind of. I was looking for something better. I find it interesting that, with so many productivity apps, none have this functionality

      Thanks. This looks like a good replacement for google keep and the sort… but it still doesn’t give me the repeatability. I don’t care much about syncing, but I need to be able to reuse the checklists without having to create the every time
