I always see the start of every year as a blank piece of paper — a chance to start fresh. And that’s exactly what I’ll be doing this year when it comes to the apps and services I use.
I regularly use several of them, but it’s time to make changes for two reasons. The first is that some of these apps simply don’t serve me anymore, whether due to a lack of functionality or a price point that’s become too high. The second is that switching to a new app I’ll use regularly is actually a fun process for me. It gives me that boost of energy I need to kick off the year on the right note.
I’ll walk you through all the changes I’m making and why, just to give you a few ideas if you’re thinking of doing the same thing.
Do you switch apps often or stick to the same ones for years? 30 votes I stick with what works. 23 % I only switch if I need to. 73 % I switch often for novelty alone. 3 %
Task management: Goodbye Todoist, hello TickTick

I lost count of how many years I’ve been using Todoist. It has helped me tremendously in staying on top of my projects, both professional and personal. It’s simple, flexible, and a joy to look at — I’m a sucker for a great UI.
However, there are a few issues preventing me from renewing my subscription this year. Pricing is the main one, as Todoist announced a significant hike late last year. Monthly pricing is going up from $5 to $7 — a 40% increase — while the yearly price hike is lower at 25%.
