![]() I left ToDoist for good a couple months ago and committed fully to TickTick. Every time I left TickTick it was because it had a lot of functions I didn’t need and it didn’t have as much natural language as ToDoist. I had tired TickTick a few times before switching back to Todoist. I stuck with Todoist for a while but I’ve always wanted a built in calendar view. You might not be bothered by this, but I thought I'd raise it. It's bothersome to me because it's a task I cannot complete on my list, until it's the due date. So if you have a couple tasks like "submit weekly report" and "do Friday clean up" that are due weekly on Friday and mark them complete, you'll immediately see the next week's tasks show up on the list. They will be scheduled for the due date, but you'll always see the next upcoming task. Reoccurring tasks cannot be hidden from your list ahead of time. You could add a separate dated subtask to the item which you could schedule for Today. A fellow redditor suggested creating a specific task with a #Deadline tag to keep track of it. So you can't put something on your Today list and retain the last date you can complete it. There is no way to indicate between a "due" date and a "do" date. I try to avoid too many complexities because it overcomplicates it for me. If it doesn't make it, I'll adjust it to the next day I think I can do it. When I get a chance, I schedule the task to the proper list with a day I'll do it. I just write what I have time for - what matters is the task itself is written down, not the details. I use an Inbox to capture a task as soon as it comes to mind. They give you plenty of tools to do so, but you need to consciously consider how. Ultimately, all of the Todo apps are a platform for you to implement your productivity system. However I feel TickTick works the best for me overall. Normal tasks show up at the top of the day in a separate section, and events display like in a normal calendar.I've found every app has something that doesn't work the way I want, including TickTick. Events: something to do on a given day, at a given time, with a deadline.Normal task: something to do on a given day but not at a given time.I can choose to have tasks set as 2 types of events in the calendar: When I move a task around in my TickTick calendar, it gets updated instantly in the various lists across my account, there’s no delay. It’s inside the app, and it won’t conflict with my Google Calendar from the office. The TickTick calendar doesn’t use any external third party to integrate. TickTick has that, and it’s honestly the best thing since sliced bread. It would be much better if Todoist had its own dedicate calendar module. Sure, I could log out of my office Google Calendar and login to my personal one, to then set up Todoist to sync with this one and not the other one, but it’s just a hassle. So I need 2 completely independent systems. I use Google Calendar at my office job, and my own app for my personal work. Third, it creates a mix of Google Calendar meeting events and Todoist tasks, which quickly becomes impossible to manage. So I have to go in Todoist and check it off, and this might conflict with the duration of the event in Google Calendar. If I delete it, well it will be gone, it won’t count as done. But when I planned for this task I set it to last for 1 hour, so now it’s still showing in my calendar. If I have a task set for 10am on Friday and I’m done with it at 10:30am, then I’ll want to check it off. Second, there is no way to check off an item from Google Calendar. There is a delay (that can be pretty long) to refresh both the Todoist tasks list and the Google Calendar, it’s not efficient or user friendly at all. If you like shuffling your tasks around like I do, trying out different ways of organising, Todoist won’t keep up. This causes various issues.įirst, syncing delays. The way it works is by connecting it to your Google Calendar, and syncing your tasks from inside the app. That’s because the app still (after many feature requests) doesn’t have a built-in calendar view. You might be surprised to see that the Todoist calendar is in fact a Google Calendar. ![]()
