Thanks for the video. Using a list for a project is my preferred option as you can use the timeline view to quickly reschedule the tasks that you don't have with subtasks
Aaah, but you can actually set due dates for Sub-Tasks! She could have done it in this video with the little Alarm clock icon to the right of the Subtasks. Then your subtasks show up in Timeline view! 🙂 Granted, since this video has change the alram clock icon is gone and you now have the "..." menu that pops up a bunch of stuff and it's a bit more time consuming to add a due date that way. But, you always can just do it faster via using the middle pane that lists the subtasks as well and click on them there.
Just finished your course for the second time on Udemy, just wow! Will prb do it another few times till it sticks but it is solid gold!!! Thanks for making and sharing.
I use tags for project names. In that way you use the project name across many lists. This is mainly because i share my tasks with my staff but I don't want them to see all the details like payments about the project. So i made a list called work and added all staff into it. I created a separate list as payments and it's just for my eyes. Now i can use the tag name as a project which can be used in both the Work list which I shared with others and the Payment list. You can even club tags together when they are too many.
@@luxedesignco I wish I knew! I think the "collaborate" feature has gotten better, but I haven't heard much about the Teams version in a while. I hope they didn't scrap it!
Option 2 (deliberate subtasks) does seem like the best, where multiple due dates are concerned, so it doesn't have to keep changing when you complete one
I think it depends on the purpose and the person. Whatever works for you. Personally, if the steps are linear and dependent, I often think it makes sense and is cleaner to use a single task with checkboxes for the next steps. If the steps are sub tasks are non-linear or independent, then I'll usually opt for a tag to hold them together. But some people really love subtasks. It's up to you!
Standard days include working with projects AND ad hoc "to dos". I don't want to bounce around to different lists. Can you please create a video on how to manage your "today"? ie where do you create your ad hoc task so that I can still work in my "Today"? BTW thanks you for your realistic videos!
Thanks so much. Happy to add that to my list of videos to create here. Also, in terms of how I manage it; I'm with you, I don't want to bounce around to different lists. That's why I just use the "today" view, as that rolls up everything from any list with a next action date of "today". I also love the "Next 7 days" view for easy reprioritization, since that's also a roll-up of everything from any list with next action dates in the next 7 days. You can also use SmartLists to create a custom "Today" view, if you wanted to leave certain lists out of it for some reason, of if you wanted to create a "Today - Home" vs "Today - Work" View
Thanks for sharing. 1. Are there any particular reasons why you use TickTick for the browser and not the app? 2. I've found the first method described to be the one that works the best, as if you are going to schedule tasks and use the calendar, now it will show all the sub-tasks too. That is a pain in the butt :)
Hi, Good question! I actually use the app most of the time, but it's just easier for me to film/screen capture these videos when using the browser and the functionality is similar enough that the concepts work on the app as well. (And I agree, I don't personally use subtasks because I find it a bit too cumbersome.)
Do you guys keep doing the Next Action Date then? I use the sub tasks because they show up in the calendar, so I plan my week by choosing which day I take action on them. Example: Video Publish is the main task (with the dat I will publish) Shoot Edit SEO Are the aí tasks and I choose them for each day. I find that helpful. Can you explain me a bit of your workflow so I can experiment? I guess you keep changing the dates as she showed on the example 1?
@@LincolnLohan77 Hi Lincoln, It sounds like we're both using the concept of "next action date", but just applying it differently. If the steps in a task are linear and dependent (which sounds like the task you describe), then I prefer to use checkboxes for the steps and change the next action date of the main "due date" field to represent what day I'll do the next step. What I've found is that if I assign individual next action dates to subtasks, and one date slips, then I have to go and update all the subtask dates, which is a lot of overhead. So essentially, as long as the steps are linear and dependent, I'll finish a step, change the main date to reflect when I'll do the next step, and so on until all the steps are complete and I can close out the task. I also find that this method reduces task list bloat.
@@DoMoreStressLess Nice, I will give it a try, maybe work for me as well. It will reduce the number of tasks and as you said, if the steps are clear this will work. Last question, do you usually plan you week with TickTick, if so, how you manage to know the tasks for Wednesday if you need to do it on Monday before you move. Or do you usually don't know which tasks in which day of the week before hand?
@@LincolnLohan77 I definitely plan my week with both TickTick and my calendar open, and I arrange next action dates based on when I have time on my calendar to get things done. In the case you're describing, I use calendar blocking to help me as well.
Ik heb veel apps uitgeprobeerd. Dit is de perfecte app om je werk op orde te houden. Het beetje extra werk om de taken en subtaken in te stellen is absoluut de moeite waard. Want daarna heb je rust.

Love how you use the written due dates and the reminder function !
Glad to hear it!
Great video. Love your clarity - trust me you are clear, at the right pace compared to others I have watched on Tick Tick. Keep going!!
Thanks so much!

That's awesome! I know TickTick has a Teams version in the works, but this is a fantastic workaround. for sharing and privacy.
@@DoMoreStressLess I haven't heard about this Teams version and have been asking about it on their Reddit, do you know when this will be released?
@@luxedesignco I wish I knew! I think the "collaborate" feature has gotten better, but I haven't heard much about the Teams version in a while. I hope they didn't scrap it!
Some nice ideas and now of course we can use sections / boards to divide into phases of a project.
Totally! For those that love Kanban, TickTick's finally got it :)
Thanks for sharing these ideas
You're welcome!
Love this task management system! Thanks for making videos on it!!
You're welcome! I love it, too :)
Super interesting - I'd interested seeing workflows more deeply. Thanks for the video.
Hi Hugo, thanks and sure, I'll add that to the list for future videos!
Yay! Thanks :) Somehow I missed this when you posted it :/
Glad you found it!
THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME
Thank you!

Didn't mean to suggest that you have to check the comments to see if the task is done; but it's helpful to see what you did and when :)
