Long extending itself beyond a simple to-do app, TickTick offers an all-in-one productivity solution packed with features like to-do lists, Pomo, Habit, Kanban, Note and more importantly, a built-in Calendar! It is not very common for a to-do app to have one, but it is always useful if it does! TickTick is such an app that combines your to-do lists with a calendar in a single place, empowering you to get more out of your time and manage your tasks well. Planning beforehand helps in actual doing. With TickTick Calendar, you can always plan out your day and time block your tasks in advance (Learn more on Time Blocking). This allows you to be more conscious of how you’ll spend your time and get more concentrated on what’s important in your schedule. One can thus be more productive and organized in life. Before we dive into Calendar specifically, creating a to-do list is the first step. Write down tasks you need to do, no matter if it is related to your work responsibilities, social events, business meetings or day-to-day activities. All tasks, if created with a specific date, will automatically be integrated and appear on your TickTick Calendar. Then let’s

An often heard theory of habit-building is the “21/90”. 21 days for a habit to form (0-1), and another 90 days for that habit to stick (1-100). Apart from these two key stages, the initial decision to commit to a new habit is also important.  Deciding to commit to a positive change A ritual of start Before jumping into a new habit, a good way to get yourself mentally ready is a ritual of start. Telling yourself and maybe also people around you that you’d like to make a certain change, is actually establishing an invisible “flag”. It’ll not only psychologically remind yourself, others can also serve the role as a supervisor if needed.  A reason behind the change It is essential while always neglectful to identify what drives you to actually want to make the change, because it is where your initial motivation comes from. It seems determined that your habit won’t last for long if the reason behind it is punishment. Therefore, please make sure your intrinsic motivation develops from what you love, not hate. A clear goal and steps to reach it  Once you’ve made the commitment, it’s time to set up a clear goal and detailed

See what has recently been ticked in TickTick and tell us what you’re also expecting! 🙋‍♂️ Note Is Going Live! Note is a new feature introduced into TickTick not so long ago. Have you been happy so far using it for simpler note-taking? Let’s quickly go over its functionality! What Is the “Note” Feature for? From our last discussion, Note was added mainly due to two purposes:  To provide you with a separate room for simple note-keeping at TickTick, where you can record any ideas and thoughts anytime during performing daily tasks. Without the need of switching to other apps, you can simply write it down and save it there in just one place.  To function as an additional resource for your task management. For example, if you’d like to include some context information (background info, additional learning resources, references, tips) of your to-do lists/ tasks, Note can serve this purpose well.  How to Access the Note? Some may already find it a bit tricky to access Note for the first time. This is true to some extent because we did not wish Note to get in the way of task management. However, it doesn’t mean it isn’t easily accessible.

A lightweight Note feature has recently come to TickTick! What is Note? How can it be useful? Read through to take your productivity to the next level! What is Note? Note is a feature that can mainly be used to simplify your note-taking process at TickTick. The confusion may immediately rise between some of you who’ve already been used to having task descriptions for this purpose. Indeed, descriptions could be used for keeping some simple notes of the task. However, limitations were quite obvious too: For one thing, it doesn’t look like a note but still a task associated with your schedule, priority and arrangement; for another, once the task is completed, the description within it will also be gone. Thus, to provide you with a more intuitive note-taking process, and an individual space to save notes in order for you to look back at anytime, here comes the Note! How to access Note? To add a Note To add a Note, you need to first add a Note-type list (There are two types of list now: Note and Task). Accessing from “Add List” at the bottom of the left sidebar > Unfold to see the List Type* > Select

Autumn is approaching as August officially passed. Since last time we’ve done the feature review, TickTick has kept trying hard to roll out new features, as well as improving the existing ones in the past few months. Then, what major improvements have recently been made in TickTick? Read on to have yourself a quick wrap up. Spoiler alert in the end! Break down a complex task with Task Nesting Beforehand, there wasn’t a complete subtask feature, only a Checklist in the task description. The Checklist used to be a lightweight version of subtasks, because what you could do with it was only setting a due date and letting TickTick remind you. However, the feedback we’ve continuously received from you guys has driven us to fully develop a complete subtask feature, which is why we introduced Task Nesting!  Task Nesting is the real subtask foundation, which allows you to cut a huge task into digestible chunks, and chucks to slices if you’d like, with altogether 5 levels supported. It complies with GTD method to help you stay organized by empowering each subtask the functionality that a task has, whether setting due dates or priority, assigning, adding tags, or keeping details in

  What is Task Nesting? Commonly used in Computer Science and Informatics, Nesting usually means where information is organized in layers and locked up with hierarchy. Following the same concept, Task Nesting here simply means task hierarchy. This means, different tasks can always be logically connected rather than sparsely scattered in your to-do list. A complex task can also be split into multi-layer subtasks (up till 5 layers including the parent task)! In general, it’s like a “family tree” that all the tasks can find their own place. Task Nesting vs. Check Item  Some of you might already be wondering, “Did the Subtask feature already exist, which you could access in the task description? Why is there a new Subtask feature?” The previous Subtask (now renamed as Check Item), lying in the task description section, functions more like a checklist. You can split a task, e.g. packing for a trip, into multiple subtasks, and also set reminders for each task. However, what you could not do in there is sub-dividing it into more grades, or setting priority and tags for subtasks. Therefore, we have renamed it as “Check Item” and it still remains in the task description. As for the

See what has recently been added and find what surprises you most. Spoiler alert in the end!   Track Every Step of Your Progress with My Badge  What is Badge? The Badge is kinda like an approval and a reward to your achievements at TickTick. It makes every step of your accomplishments visible and trackable. For example, the days you’ve been using TickTick, the months you’ve joined Premium, the number of tasks you’ve accomplished, the total amount of time you’ve been focused on tasks, the number of friends you’ve invited, and the times you’ve checked in your habits. Every tiny progress you’ve made deserves a place in your overall achievement. They will automatically be counted and converted into badges. 6 different types of Badges * Learn more about the details and algorithm of Badge.
