#todoist

[es-r-aa7]

تمر أيام ثقيلة على روحِ الإنسان، يَصعب عليهِ قول كلمة واحدة، يرى كل أبواب الدُنيا مُغلقة أمامه، لا يعرف الوِجهة التي يُريدها، حتى يقول:

﴿رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي، وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْر، وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي، يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي، وَاجْعَل لِّي وَزِيرًا مِّنْ أَهْلِي﴾

تهون على المرء شدائدهِ، إنّه لطيف يقضي الهموم بقدرتهِ.

I am after a shared todo list app for household management.

Currently I am using todoist, but it has problems scheduling dates with tasks getting postponed, and reoccuring dates getting rescheduled.

Todoist vs. TickTick (Free Tier Review)

recently, i decided that i could benefit from using a todo list in my life. after looking through a ton of different options, i ended up with only 2 left, todoist and ticktick. so because why not, i will compare them, and see what one is better. note that this is a desktop focused review, so i won't be trying out the mobile or watch apps. also, because this is a free tier review, of course im not trying the paid plans!

terms

some terms to know now so you won't be confused later, if you're new to to-do list apps

project - basically a folder

section - a subfolder, but on the same page as a section

label - this is really stupid sounding, but imagine tumblr tags, but for your to-do list

interface

left: ticktick, right: todoist

i like how ticktick puts more emphasis on project colors and being compact, however, i think todoist is much more clean and easy to read. it is also much less overwhelming, especially with their recent redesign.

both platforms also have a kanban/trello view, with tasks organized by section

left: ticktick, right: todoist

ticktick shows subtasks while in this view, while todoist only shows a count. i like to keep a lot of subtasks, so i prefer this, however, not everyone will like that.

organization

both platforms have:

projects

sections

tags

priority levels

subtasks

but ticktick has its own special feature: "won't do"

this feature checks off a task, without reaping any of the benefits of checking off a task. instead, it moves it to a dedicated "won't do" page and puts a X instead of a check when viewing completed tasks. this lets you potentially reschedule tasks and whatever.

task creation

todoist is instantly much better at task creation. you can do almost any task action directly from the task creation screen. here's an example:

say i type in

Eat Leftover Pink Sauce from the Grocery Store 5:40p every weekday p2 #Inbox /Cuz @store

this would create a task called "Eat Leftover Pink Sauce from the Grocery Store" that would be due every weekday at 5:40p, have a priority level of 2, be added to the "Cuz" section of the "Inbox", and be placed under the "store" label

ticktick only seems to support date recognition using this method, everything else has to be added manually after the task is created

adding subtasks on todoist feels much more responsive. ticktick just feels janky for some reason. subtasks are also confusing, because there are two types of "subtask":

regular subtasks - a task directly underneath an already existing task. superior in almost every way

checklist - these aren't tasks and don't appear in the task list, nor count towards the task count. you have to view the details of a task to see them. you cannot assign properties to them such as due dates, priority, etc. functionally, they're the same as adding a checklist to a google document, obsidian page, or note in apple notes

reminders

the free tier of neither service support any type of reminders, except for due dates

limits

filters filters are pages that show all unchecked tasks that meet a certain requirement, set by you

todoist - 3 free filters

ticktick - 0 free filters

projects

todoist - 5 active projects at a time + inbox, each project allowing a maximum of 250 unchecked tasks

ticktick - 10 projects total + inbox, each project allowing a maximum of 99 unchecked tasks

projects can be archived on both platforms, making their tasks no longer searchable or appear in upcoming views, without completely deleting the project. the main difference is that on todoist, archived projects don't count toward your project count, while archived projects still count toward your project count on ticktick. this means todoist lets you store an unlimited amount of projects for free, you just cannot use more than 5 at once

final thoughts

todoist is the winner. having a better interface and letting me store more tasks is definitely a win for me. of course, there is much more to each platform than covered in this admittedly awful post, but i think these are the essentials.

Få overblik af din kalenderaftaler OG dine påmindelser ét samlet sted på din Mac, iPad og iPhone.

Jeg har i 2-3 år brugt en anden kalender app end Apples indbyggede, som hedder FantastiCal og den er helt fantastisk god, ikke mindst fordi den kan arbejde sammen med Apple påmindelses app og/eller Todoist, så du kan få både dine kalenderaftaler og dine Påmindelser vist på den samme dag. Du kan oprette en ny Påmindelse såvel som selvfølgelig kalenderaftale direkte i kalenderen: Med Fantastical…

ok, more phd advice coming at y'all, I've been looking for years for a system that would let me have both an integrated schedule and todo list for my work and today I've finally achieved that!!! I downloaded the app Fantastical and integrated both my iCloud calendar and my todoist, which I've been using separately for the entirety of my MA, and now I'm able to have a syncing visual calendar which adjusts my iCloud calendar if I adjust it (which then syncs to my smartwatch) and creates and manages my tasks in todoist all from one interface for free (as I'm not paying for the premium version)! It does take a little bit of work to get it all set up properly but it is so worth it, now I can maintain my separate independent phd work calendar, workout calendar, and class schedule and my todoist all in one place accessible from both my phone and laptop so I don't accidentally miss anything!

I have discovered this app maybe 6 years ago. And now I’m back there trying to give it a chance.

I decided to have no more than 30 task in this app at all. It would help to hold a focus and not feel overwhelmed. Now it’s 26. There are so much topics in my head: sewing, planning, cleaning house, learning, travelling.
