Reply to comment by ct_nittany in LPT: Use your calendar as your to-do list. Assigning dedicated time to tasks increases the likelyhood of you acting upon it. by human_marketer
Hey there, try Todoist or Shortcut, much less overhead and more efficient tools for the same thing Jira does - Todoist lets you set recurring tasks so you can have an automatic monthly "Clean this filthy shit" list that's easy to plan for, and when it's the same list, you can start speedrunning it and trying to get better times to completion. It integrates with Google calendar in a really simple and smart way too, big fan
It's also way less work to organize work in either tool than in Jira :)

I would like to recommend Sunsama also :) their concept is to put the task into your to do list, then estimate the time and only then to find a time for it in your calendar. And it's also very good to see whether are you trying to squeeze too much tasks into your day (it gives the hint, if your workload is more than 8 hours).
But their prices seemed unreasonable to me ($20 a month), so I've switched to cheaper (and even free, if you don't need premium features) alternative Morgen. But I would highly suggest for everybody who's struggling with setting time for tasks try Sunsama's free trial to see the hints for planning, and switch only then. Or stay, if the price works for you :)
I have no idea how to make it not look like an ad, but yeah, just honest recommendation. Mostly for OP in this thread though
Edit: grammar, hopefully... I'm not sure if it actually improved, but I've tried :)

I love the estimate vs actual time feature of sunsama. But yes its too expensive. Another cheapest alternatives that i’ve found are ellie planner and Akiflow.

Trello is what you want. It’s Atlassian’s simplified version of Jira
