We use TickTick for individual to-do organization.

It definitely addresses the problem of lost or misplaced lists, which were mostly handwritten, and hard to read if members were absent or ill.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I don’t currently use TickTick in my organization, but I rely on it personally to manage various tasks and responsibilities. For my own use, TickTick serves as a central hub to track and organize my work-related to-dos, meeting notes, and household tasks. On my work front, I have effectively created tasks in different lists, categorized them optimally, prioritized them based on the company's requirements, and executed them consistently. I also find it extremely useful for managing household chores and planning shared responsibilities with my wife. The app’s ability to create shared lists and assign tasks makes it easy for us to stay on the same page, whether it's meal planning, grocery shopping, or managing ongoing home projects.

Pros

  • Prioritization and Eisenhower matrix.
  • Segregation of lists, filters on a list level, sorting on multiple levels.
  • Effective view of sub-tasks and description of tasks that are easier to write, glance at, and access.
  • Integrations with Google Calendar, Slack.
  • Chrome plugin to support gmail.

Cons

  • 2 way sync integration with Google Calendar.
  • Sync with Apple Calendar and Reminders.
  • Natural language processing.
  • AI enabled quick task creation, suggestions and segregation.
  • AI suggested segregation of tasks.

Return on Investment

  • Effective tracking of my time and tasks; made me understand the value of my time.
  • Had a streak of 62 days straight where I didn't miss a single planned task.
  • It has become a repository of all the dead tasks, projects, and ideas I can pick up whenever possible.

Pros

  • Task management
  • Daily/Weekly Planning

  • It would be nice if subtasks were still visible on the main task after they are checked off
  • Setup can take some work
  • More available lists in the free version would be helpful.

Put this software on your to-do list!

Pros

  • Organizing tasks into lists.
  • Allowing for notifications and reminders for tasks.
  • Allowing tasks to be one time or recurring.
  • The ability to share lists with other people for collaboration.
  • Fully functional mobile app.

Cons

  • The task reminders are in the form of a notification - it would be nice to have an email option.
  • All tasks due on the same day/time show up as one notification versus separate - this can be hard to separate as far as task planning goes.

Return on Investment

  • Our spaced out, recurring projects are getting done ON TIME instead of sporadically or not at all.
  • Our team is 20% less stressed about tasks because they are reminded of tasks and projects that need to be completed, instead of going off of memory. This has increased morale.
  • Ideas for business development are remembered and implemented more frequently because we have a place to write them down - instead of talking about them once and forgetting about it altogether.
