This is the best video I have ever watched. Having read the book about 7 years ago tried to implement the system using many tools available in the market. I think tiktik along with this video solve the problem for me. Bravo !!!

Fantastic video! It was incredibly helpful in providing a visual of how the process works in the real world. I really appreciate the work you did. Keep it up!

Wow, what an excellent video Joshua. It helped me to implement GTD, though in a slightly different way than yours. Your video was really inspiring and helpful, compliments!

To support the Clarify step, I added tags like Ready and NotReady, to distinguish between tasks that are (not) actionable (yet). It shows at a glance which tasks are eligible for further execution and which ones still need more clarification.

To support the Organize step, I created a tag Next, to not mess up with real planned dates (which are on your calendar) and wish dates, and to leave the priority functionality in TickTick in tact. This Next tag also helps to play a bit with dates and priorities, and automatically determine (via customized lists) possible next actions, and Someday/Maybe actions.

Thanks again for so much inspiration!

Excellent video, Joshua! It covers everything needed for GTD, the way it is supposed to be done.

[MichaelPotterinMichigan]

Very well done! What’s impressive is your customized TickTick setup that supports the GTD methodology. I wish that all app makers had this in mind.

Great Video! I've been playing around with several different task manager apps and organizational techniques but this resonated with me the most.

[Fabien]

Great time watching this video. A clear and simple way to get things organized and done ;)
Thanks !

[MayankPatel]

Really great video. Helped me get started.

Great video. Very helpful, thank you. How do you track your "waiting-for" tasks that depend on others' responses? Do you keep those in your next-action list or do you move them to a separate list and review a separate "waiting-for" list periodically?

[DavidFuangfuang]

Thoughts on single actions and/or recurring actions?

[poettreeclimber]

This was absolutely excellent! Thank you!

[simplyme]

Great video! Will have to watch again with my laptop before me. I don’t see some of the features you’ve used in my phone’s app.

Thank you so much, @JoshuaBest for this amazing app and explanatory video!! I do have one question about the filter set-up for "new actions". Why are *all* priority tags included here and not just the red high priority ones? I am wondering what I'm missing... I'd be very happy to receive feedback from you or maybe someone else who might be able to explain.

Great video, Joshua! 🙌 I'm upgrading my GTD system from Apple's Reminders, to TickTick and this video has been very useful!

[pennyj]

Hi. Great video!! I am rearranging my design to look more like GTD. Can I have folders within folders? If not, do I just need to disassemble the folders that I have to consolidate some things? What would you advise?

[avvocatidalvoltoumano]

Thank you. Any way to filter and list projects which do not sport a next action yet? Thank you.

[acidjumps]

I don't really understand. How do you order tasks at the beginning when you setup your projects so that when you filter by next actions you see only the one action and then when you check that, it automatically shows the action after that?

[cjart]

How to make sure that a completed subtask remains in the list with specific subtasks, and does not shift down to the general list of completed tasks?

[nycolasmarcovski]

Is there a way to convert a task to list?

[jawjuh]

I’m really torn on how to set up projects. The way you do it? But you can’t assign a due date to a project in your system. How do you track projects with a date when the project has to be completed? Currently I set up a project as a task with the steps as subtasks. That has an issue too though as I get tasks that pop up in my list but I can’t immediately see what project the task is from. Anyone have ideas?
