I gave Google Tasks another shot — and remembered why I left

I’m not a calendar person. My day sliced into blue and yellow chunks down to the last minute — even telling me when to eat or take a break — isn’t the kind of rigidity I can live with. That’s far too structured for me. I instead swear by a hotchpotch system of Post-it notes, the good-old paper and pen, and most importantly, my task managing app — TickTick.

TickTick is where all my personal and work tasks live, giving me a clear view of what needs to be done, whether it’s for the day or the week. It’s packed with features to the brim and has been my go-to for ages now.

Google Tasks is to task managers what Google Keep is to note-takers.

But every now and then, Google tweaks something in its Tasks app, and I get tempted to give it another try. I’ve had these urges several times over the past few years — and each time, I’ve come back annoyed by the app and frustrated that I still can’t complete my productivity stack with just Google apps.

My latest attempt with Google Tasks, though, has convinced me I need to suppress my urges more deftly.
