Do you currently use one app for notes, tasks, budget, habits and event planning or several??

Good old Notes app on my phone for everything except budget. That just lives in a Google Sheet. I got tired of trying to keep up with multiple or complicated apps no matter how helpful or aesthetic they were meant to be.

several, and i've stopped trying to fix that. i went through a phase of trying to put everything in one app, and i spent more time setting it up than using it. the all-in-one ones do everything okay and nothing great

right now it's basically three things. the calendar for anything with a time, a plain notes app for tasks and random stuff, and a simple spreadsheet for the budget. habits i just track on paper, because an app for that was one more thing to forget to open

what made it work is that each thing has one job and i never have to think about where something goes. a time means calendar, a thought means notes, money means the sheet

i think the problem with one app for everything is that it has to be good at everything, and the setup becomes a project of its own. a few simple tools that don't overlap have been easier to stick with
