It’s Friday! I’m feeling good after a productive week. There are a few reason why I’ve been so productive, but one is so good that I just have to share it with you. It’s called TickTick.
I’ve struggled for a long time with task tracking. I’m forever writing to-do lists and ideas on bits of paper, post-it notes, Google Keep and my Remarkable pad. I also like prioritising my task lists, so I’d often transfer all these notes onto Miro and create an Eisenhower Matrix, so I can order them e.g. Urgent & Important, Urgent & Not Important, etc.
I’d then forget about it, and start the whole cycle again…
Then, this week I discovered TickTick (https://ticktick.com/). It’s an app that works on all mobile devices and the web (and syncs across them too). Everything I’ve done so far on it (adding tasks, prioritising them, adding due dates and prioritising them in an Eisenhower matrix) has been possible in the free version of this app. I’ll only pay for the premium version ($36 per year) when I want to link this up to my calendar and email.
My recommendation of the week* 😀

Thanks @Darryl – I have an iPhone and use the notes and reminders app for tracking tasks and to dos, but it doesn’t sync to my PC in anyway (mostly due to my putting off what I think is likely to be a frustrating session figuring it out, iCloud and MS, ughhh). So currently I use a combo of What’s App, Google Cal, and Trello which is all a bit disconnected, and requires manual input, cut/paste and suchlike.
Have used Evernote back in the day but when the reduced the free tier seat limit it meant I was always logged out on the wrong device at the wrong time. I paid to upgrade and then they just made the whole thing to complicated.
Have tried Podio, as we used it within the biz and it had automations and was fab, that worked for a while. Then they got bought out, and costs were cut, as was any useful support and surprise! Prices rose.
Went back to Trello, which is good for following workflows but a notes archive it is not and I can’t be bothred to force it with extensions.
I do want to harness AI and whilst I was interested therefore to read your recommendation do you know if it can connect with or has inbuilt and LLM? or plans? I will go review myself but thought you might have a users eye view?
Many thanls and have a good weekend!

I do like the Eisenhower matrix, very useful and how I triage my workflow. Noice!

Ooo… CRMs I use Bonsai. It’s pretty neat.

Sounds interesting, I use Reminders for mine , have tried all kinds of more complex solutions but always come back to this as it syncs across phone iPad and Mac. Would someone like to explain the Eisenhower matrix to me?

Actually have sussed it out! No explainer needed

I can gladly report that the dopamine hit from completing a writing task on my TickTick backlog is real!

I still use a trusty pad to write down things that I must do this week.
Other than that Trello I find useful.
I like the Eisenhower matrix and visually shows which tasks you really should be outsourcing. I have 3 sections in my Trello similar to this, maybe I will recreate to include all 4.1
