This week, we have a fun bonus episode where David Pierce from the Vergecast tries to help Marques convince Andrew to use a proper to-do list app instead of his alarm clock. Throughout the episode they gather information on how Andrew handles his task list and then try to figure out which app would be best for him to use. Then we turn the…

I don't want to be dramatic, but this episode may have been one of the bigger turning points in my adult life.
Move over Laine, I've got task apps to use.
Iโm so team Andrew.
46:30 Morgen is an app that brings in Todoist tasks to replicate the experience of TickTick (also pulls in tasks from Notion, other tasks managers, and many different calendars).
Watching this made me realise that I'm using discord as a note taking app and organiser
That moment when you're like 'yes Andrew, that's exactly what I do' and everyone start laughing at him.
1:00:57 I bet Google tries to buy companies and eventually 1 employee phones their boss and the people whoโve made an offer get a phone call. Itโs only then that they realise theyโve made an offer and have been negotiating with themselvesโฆthey all have a good laugh, hang up the phone and the boss immediately asks HR to inform the guy who phoned him that the company has been shut down
40:09 I really wish Apple would sort the UX out for Remindersโฆin my opinion they should integrate Reminders with the Calendar App. For example, in the โTodayโ view on the Calendar App Iโd love to be able to simply swipe up โฌ๏ธ and immediately find myself in a clean looking to-do app. Also any task that Iโve set as a โfloating taskโ as I like to call them (those things that need to be done but could be pushed to tomorrow) but have not completed should automatically move themselves to the following day without prompting me
this is funny ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Every once in a while, I see if I should try using some productivity apps. This episode thoroughly convinced me that my calendar app + paper roadmap notes are what I should stick to.
Everyone watching this would probably profit at least learnign about thiago forte's second brain or zettelkasten.
The other guy never shuts up.. Marques is trying to talk and he consistently interrupting him

I listened to this part and noticed something. For those on Android, you can change your assistant to Gemini. Gemini can integrate with Google workspace. I just told Gemini to set a reminder to do something and was able to add it to Google tasks.
Google tasks needs to step up their game and get better. I feel like if Google tasks was as good as Tick Tick (which is what I use) then the whole AI helping you with tasks would be so much better.

I have ADHD and feel everything Andrew is saying so much
This is basically my struggle with apps as an ADHD person, if reminders start popping up at the wrong time and i have to babysit my todo list, i'm out ๐ I just use the notes app and have 3 categories of todo:
Today
Tomorrow
Someday
I hate notion fr
Google Calendar defaults are annoying. Odd alarms setup the day before but none on the day. And no way to change them in settings. I link gcal to iOS cal and created events in GCal through Apple Calendar because the default times are better
This topic feels like it was created just for me. Surprised no one has mentioned ClickUp. Not what I'd recommend for this particular scenario since it can get pretty complicated and requires some upkeep.
In this situation I'd recommend just the Google calendar app + tasks + Keep.
A point youโre missing many companies are in the Microsoft ecosystem so outlook with Microsoft to do are really not bad . Thanks for this episode though I love your content
Have you tried moleskin weekly planner ? Like pen and paper ? Dump to do list on the right then move them to days on the left. I am a techy person so if I am not using apps for this so they re still missing a lot.
Something like meta AI on raybans would be better than google assistant
36:54 me to a T lol
Watched this couple weeks back, got TickTick and it is the app Iโve been needing for such a long long long time. Iโm sticking with it.
