I gave Google Tasks another shot — and remembered why I left

I’m not a calendar person. My day sliced into blue and yellow chunks down to the last minute — even telling me when to eat or take a break — isn’t the kind of rigidity I can live with. That’s far too structured for me. I instead swear by a hotchpotch system of Post-it notes, the good-old paper and pen, and most importantly, my task managing app — TickTick.

TickTick is where all my personal and work tasks live, giving me a clear view of what needs to be done, whether it’s for the day or the week. It’s packed with features to the brim and has been my go-to for ages now.
