Transcripts
welcome back today we're diving deeper
into tick tick one of the most robust
organization tools out there I've been
using tic TI for months now and it's an
amazing task manager if you're all about
Simplicity however although it seems
simple tic is actually packed with well
hidden features So today we're exploring
some not so obvious tools and shortcuts
that many users Overlook so let's get
started many people know you can import
your Google calendar to tictic but did
you know you can actually import your
Tik tick tasks to Google Calendar as
well so first of all to import your gcal
into Tik tick under settings click
calendars click on the plus button to
add your calendar select Google and then
you just have to follow the instructions
on the screen now the trick is to log in
to tic tick on your browser and this
will not work either on your mobile or
desktop app go to settings and click
calendar in mail enable will subscribe
tick tick in your calendar app and copy
the provided
URL down in Google Calendar go to your
calendar list and click the plus button
in your calendar tab to add a new
calendar select the option to add a
calendar from URL and go to the next
settings page enable tic Tick's provided
URL and that's it you'll now see your
tic tick tasks in Google
Calendar this is also one of my favorite
ones while there is a next 7 Days smart
list you can toggle in tictic set
settings that will show you everything
due that week personally I like to see
my main weekly goals basically a list
with three to five main items I want to
get done by the end of the week you can
create a tag named weekly and tag the
appropriate items with it and just then
click the tag when you want to see your
weekly goals or you can create a new
task in your today view pin it to the
top of your list and just call it weekly
goals and then use a task description to
add your major Milestones this is
actually how I prefer to to do it
although I know it's a weird
workaround a lot of people don't know
that you can actually see all the lists
inside a tick tick list in a canb board
format so if you're coming from tro this
may be a feature that you miss and
you'll love seeing it here to enable the
can B board in tick tick click any list
in your navigation pane search for the
three dots on the upper right corner and
select can band
view some tasks are incredibly
repetitive and follow the same workflow
for instance if you want to create an
Instagram post your workflow may be
something like brainstorm idea take
picture edit picture add final touches
write caption research and add tags and
schedule or publish posts you can add
all those steps to pre-made tick tick
templates you can then import the
template when you're creating a new task
and in the add task bar click the down
arrow and select add from template and
you're good to
go to create a task via email log into
the web version of tictic Click Avatar
settings calendar and mail and then find
add tasks via email then if you forward
an email to this special generated email
address that will be automatically added
to your tic tick list so you'll never
miss replying or following up on
someone if you access your today list in
the mobile app you'll notice this
particular list has an icon on the top
and that's called the plan your day
feature and it basically allows you to
see all of today's tasks in card format
with all sub tasks and details and
decide what you want to do with each
task overall while this feature doesn't
offer anything that you couldn't do in
the regular list view it forces you to
face and deal with each task separately
which can be incredibly useful for a lot
of people who tend to skim through
tasks by default when you assign a date
to a task you'll see the due date of
that task near the task name however for
particularly challenging or complex
projects and I usually recommend this
view for people managing projects with a
lot of dependencies you can toggle
countdown mode on mobile go to settings
select date and time and enable
countdown mode then when you return to
your list a simple tap on the display
date will switch the view and show you
how many days are left or how many days
are
overdue tick tick provides you with a
full pomodora timer that you can
actually assigned to specific tasks when
you're doing time estimation it can be
incredibly useful to see side by side
how much time you estimated versus how
much time you actually spent tackling a
certain task so go to the task detail
page unfold the three dots and select
start Focus estimation you can then set
beforehand an estimated pommo number
that you intend to get for this task or
an estimated duration you'll spend doing
it before the timer
starts you can use markdown when you
want to write a task description or a
note if you have experienced using
markdown before for for instance notion
supports it as well the same kind of
rules apply this means you can format
your tic TI Tasks and notes with
headings italic Boldt underline strike
through highlighting
Etc to get a summary of tasks you've
completed today you can create a note
and then click the clipboard icon you'll
see a preview of your task summary go to
filter to choose what it includes and
then go to insert to add it to the
notes on the mobile app you can go into
a task and then press and hold on the
date and time row to set a progress bar
to completion percentage of that task it
is a handy way I use daily to track
progress of various tasks for the
day my workflow always means organizing
complex business related projects in
Ocean and then importing all tasks and
deadlines to tick tick to manage them in
my calendar and if there is one thing
I'd like to have done before I started
doing this whole online business thing
is actually reading about building a
business instead of just thinking I had
a hobby that was generating income every
single month I eventually came across a
really useful book called the $100
startup and you can use short form to
get all the knowledge you need from this
book without having to read it from
start to finish with short form you can
learn the ideas from all the non-fiction
books you've ever wanted to read and you
get really detailed summaries on so many
books and if you're thinking well I can
find a lot of free summaries on the
internet this is where it gets
interesting because instead of just
summarizing the books short form
actually goes beyond that and it adds
interactive exercises to help you apply
the ideas you've just learned as well as
smart insights allowing you to connect
to dots and understand everything at a
deeper level you can use short form to
learn all the key points from this book
but you can also access their whole
library of productivity history
psychology and philosophy books as well
when I use short form I look forward to
the full experience and I end up buying
the full book if I enjoy the summary
however I'm always able to go back to
Sharp form to at least remember the main
key points short form also drops new
book guides and articles every week and
subscribers get to vote on what books to
cover to get a 5 days of unlimited
access and an additional 20% discount on
the annual subscription join short form
through my special link or click the
link in the description box
below I really hope you've enjoyed
today's video and I'll see you next week
bye
guys
