Without any doubt, Focus, Task Management, and Time Tracking are three important aspects of being productive.

For years, I have used the Pomodoro technique for being focused during a task and, on the other hand, for Task management and Time Tracking, I have tried a lot of task management, todo lists, or time tracker applications like Microsoft To-Do, Todoist, Wunderlist (in the past) and a lot more.

In this story, I want to describe how TickTick changed everything for me and allowed me to manage those other two aspects (Task Management and Time Tracking) around the Pomodoro Technique in one single application.

My productivity loop comprises three main steps:

  • Planning (Task management)
  • Focusing (Pomodoro technique)
  • Evaluating (Report based on the time tracking)
