Life these days can be very complicated, and many of us — I’d guess that most of us — are constantly looking for the best method to keep our lives in order.

What do you need on your grocery list? When is that work project due, and who is working on it with you? A friend wants to do a movie-watching session, but is that the same day you promised your parents to help clean the garage? Which bills are due, and can you afford to pay them all? Where is that article about which masks to wear? And on and on.

So we decided to start off 2022 by asking the staff of The Verge what they use to keep track of all their appointments / tasks / projects / workflows.

And it turned out that they use a variety of different apps or some fairly old-fashioned paper-and-pen solutions — or both. If you’re finding that this year is turning out to be a confusing one, and you need a way to try to keep your life and your sanity in order, here are some methods that we use. We hope they are helpful.

Libraries seem old school at first glance.

However, many libraries update their stuff all the time and you can get some fairly modern entertainment there.

Some libraries have movies, others have audiobooks, and they all have regular books, obviously.

In some cases, you can even rent e-books for free with a library card. It’s an excellent way to find stuff to do on a budget. The only problem is that there are only a handful of apps capable of helping with this.

Here are the best library apps for Android. There is a chance you stumbled upon this article while looking for an app to manage your e-book library. If that’s you, check out our best e-book apps for Android list to find recommendations for that.
