I'm a big fan of Trello for life organisation and one of the best bits is being able to view and add on my phone.

Obviously vim isn't particularly mobile friendly. Any ideas on how to view/edit from afar?

I don't organize my life so I never had a need for TODO lists. I get stress from seeing TODO lists. I deal with shit when it's in my plate. Maybe I could mitigate some things by planning better. But until know I planned as I need and my personal life is in good shape.

Work I tried many times to have lists. Doesn't work either. I just have text files and or mindmaps about things I'm workin on. It contains everything what I'm thinking, code snippets, links to websites, meeting minutes, short todo items or things I'm waiting on. Doesn't really have any form it evolves. After I'm done that os my little knowledge base of the thing I worked on.

This is the easiest way to describe what I do.

I have syncthing set up on my laptop and phone. On my Android phone I use Markor for viewing and editing the files, and the changes are then synced back to my laptop.

Admittedly I don't use Markor very frequently, and often just use Evernote instead when I'm on my phone and want to jot down something quickly... This is mostly because I feel the need to organize in folders etc when using Markor and vimwiki, so my mental model of it includes a bit more friction compared to Evernote.

I organize my notes the same way, though I have a structure of my documents: every midnight my server creates a new directory with today (06-05-Fri) which I work with. So when I need to create a file with Markor (which is very rare case), I create it there. The only issue I’m having with this system is that Markor does not work with symlinks, which I use frequently. Or maybe it’s not Markor but Android, not sure on this part.

I've used Org-Trello [1] in the past to sync an org file with a Trello board. I did this for a few semesters to quickly move all my homework assignments into Trello. Obviously this is an Emacs mode; if you're a Vim veteran, you can always use evil-mode to get the Vim keys in Emacs. YMMV
