I finally started using a proper to-do list this year, and it's made keeping track of my work tasks (and home to-dos) so much easier.

TickTick is the best to-do list app thanks to its simple and structured project organization, seamless calendar integration, and flexibility to fit into many different workflows rather than forcing you to organize your work a certain way.

I’ve gone through dozens of such apps in many years, always migrating to the next because the previous was too basic, too bloated, too slow, too clunky, too ugly, too pricey, etc. But once I discovered TickTick about a year ago, I’ve never looked back.

TickTick’s main appeal is how comprehensive it is as a to-do list manager.

Develop a work schedule and stick to it. Making super-detailed task lists at least a day in advance helps me recognize accomplishments and cut down on gratuitous guilt. (I like the TickTick app for its “checkoff” feature.)
