My favorite app "Things". But unfortunately, it is only for Mac & iOS. Since I use Windows, it does not suit me. But I use it with pleasure on my iPad.
Currently, I use Paper Dropbox for all my notes and task lists. Before that, I used Evernote for several years, but I am not satisfied with Evernote now.
Trello is awesome, however it stresses me out knowing there is items in a column that have not been completed. I like to pace myself, not have that constant stress on the back of my mind.
I used to do Trello. And Todoist. And Google Keep. And JIRA. And high-dollar project management tools like Rally. And Evernote. And custom Google Sheets. And Asana. And Wunderlist.

I've been using ToDoist for over a year now, found out about ticktick in this thread thanks to @yakuzaemme , an amazing all in one app for daily tasks and habit building with many great features, will give it a try in next few weeks I expect it to meet my expectations.
Our team uses Trello too. Easy to manage everything and track who's behind dues. Work always delivers on time to our clients since you will know which one you have to do first. Also tried Ryver, pretty cool stuff as well with the DM and group chat function.
There are four apps that I like to use to get things done.
Trello
I like the fact that with Trello you can use it to work in teams, as you can see the progress of work being done in real time. It also helps me understand my own process of doing something as well, from the beginning all the way to completing a task. It helps me systematize my workflow. Plus the power ups are fun to use.
Google Keep
A simple way to sync my quick notes or references across multiple devices using just my Google account.
Simplemind Mind Map
When a process gets more involved and I need to visualize the whole thing, a mindmap is easier to use for me to see the whole process. For me Trello is for ongoing tasks, and a mindmap is for me to understand the whole picture, or the bigger scope of any given project.
Pomodoro Apps
This is great if you want to get a project done within a certain amount of time. Any good Pomodoro app will do. It breaks down large tasks into a series of smaller, multiple 25 minute task so you'll really focus on getting it done. You can use it for anything really. I find this especially useful when writing articles. It will be something like 25 minutes of research, 25 minutes of writing and 25 minutes of editing and I can churn out an 800 to a 1000 word article in an hour or so.
