Summary
The writer details their journey with task management apps, testing out various ones such as Microsoft To Do, Trello, Notion, Google Tasks, TickTick, Any.do, Todoist, and Things 3.
They favor Things 3, despite its cost of $49.99 as a one-time purchase on Mac, for its user-friendly and straightforward approach, allowing them to organize their tasks efficiently.
They continue using Todoist for planning weekly tasks for their extra creative projects, while using Things 3 on their computer and Todoist on their smartphone and tablet.
In comparison, they detail the various features of each app, including how well they integrate with other apps, the ability to create recurring tasks and reminders, the user interface, the speed of the app, and the overall functionality.
The key points are that more simple apps like Microsoft To Do or Google Tasks felt too basic, while others like Notion and TickTick were too complex. ultimately concluding that choosing a task management app depends on personal preference in terms of features, design, devices, and budget.
Microsoft To Do integrates well with Outlook, while Google Tasks is more intuitive.
