TickTick is a flippin’ amazing to-do, task, planning, productivity app. It has all the different views, organization, sorting – that’s what makes it so powerful. It’s not nailed down to a single method of task building as other apps do. I was first compelled to try the app, simply because it had the right-side panel for description and details. I’ve found this app to be so much more.
It’s an agnostic approach by including many different styles.
- A Zettelkasten style with the inbox – a low-friction place to quickly dump tasks, ideas and thoughts to get them off your mind before you forget them. As simple as that sounds, many apps don’t have that.
- Then I can use a modified “Getting things done” method by sorting the inbox into separate lists i.e. “action, ideas, notes, decisions”.
- Then in the Action List I sort them into “small, medium, large” sections.
- And then from there, I’m easily able to assign dates.
- Then I’m left with a very focused look at the “Today” view, which has been super helpful.
- And if I have any other indecisiveness I can look at the calendar view or Eisenhower matrix to sort and prioritize even further!
- It even has a time blocking feature in the calendar view! So good! Love the habit feature too, it’s simple and non-judgmental.
I’m using every different style to help me build out my day, week, month. I used to be so confused and overwhelmed with all the different things I had to do. I have so many separate and non-overlapping projects, it has been a low key source of anxiety and stress. TickTick has been done wonders to unburden a lot of that stress.
It’s so simple so you can use it has basic as you want, yet full and comprehensive so that you don’t outgrow the app if your productivity gets too complicated. It even has things like the “statistics” feature.
It is meant to be simple, low-barrier to usage, yet robust and capable in all it’s functionality. It is very thoughtful in using different productivity methods, which I really appreciate – because I’ve found different types of tasks require different types of methods and having the ability to interchange between them built in – hybriding the methods makes TickTick super powerful and functional giving it longevity and agility.
