Ditch Google Calendar and Use These Apps Instead

[@mariana-vieira]

👉 Quick reminder that you can find me on Instagram: ⏱ Productivity for Humans: instagram.com/marianasscorner/ 🍼 Productivity for Parents: instagram.com/productivityforparents/

[@bikersoncall]

I don't need a 'DAY PLANNER' , I would like a monthly planner where I can keep track of my different workout activities and events throughout the month. A calendar with BIG SQUARES for each day that I can click on , easily expand, enter lots of text and easy edit, (win10) and NOT ADS. Is that available?

[@vinguyen0524]

This was so helpful! I love Google Calendar personally, but I do agree that Google Tasks is not the most intuitive, so time blocking is a bit more difficult. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@krishnar6717]

Instead of Tasks I use Todoist with Google Calendar Integration

[@mgaming7]

The advantage to google calendar is the fact that it works on Android, Apple, MacOS, and Windows. (and probably Linux)

[@caiopassos95]

Yes, I use it on Ubuntu

[@ellsnation]

I was looking for a comprehensive video of better or alternative scheduling systems and I must be honest and say I’ve never been so inclined to adopt a new system before. Your clear description and efficient direction was appreciated guide and I even enjoyed the add for shortform so much I did my own research and decided to sub. I don’t know if your hear this often but I Just wanted to say thank you to you and your team for your great video and continue making useful and relevant content!

I just hit the like and subscribe button for this channel and I really appreciate the value that this channel and similar channels bring to the community, to the personal development journey of everyone. The truth is that I also owe KZbin for developing myself as I am today and becoming a better version every day. I am always grateful for this and I think it is my turn to contribute value to KZbin, to the community even though it is still very small. That is why I just created the first video on KZbin in my life on the topic of personal development. Hope it will also help the community. Thank you

[@noviceofthelord]

This was extremely helpful! As a university student organisation is NOT my strong suit, and that was keeping my full potential away, I always knew I needed a timetable, and google had done its work for me in the past, however thanks to you I know where to start for a better timetabling software! Also I usually skip adds but 'short form' seems really great actually, I'll consider using it. Thanks again, and truly God bless you!

what would be important to say it's: it is crossed platforms... laptop/app

[@PLCMusicMaker]

Super helpful video and very clear!

[@emilymarriott5927]

This is nice, but it doesn't quite hit what I want. I'd like to get into better task management as right now I have basically no task management in my life, and it can be a problem to get motivated. The thing is, the basic things I want from any sort of calendar/task app is what I want from most apps: An ability to self-host or at least some sort of privacy focus. At the moment, I've installed the nextcloud calendar and task apps. We'll see how that goes.

[@SnugglePlush]

Hello, would like to ask for updates how those apps worked out for you? 😊

[@JackyOfAllTradez]

Motion sounds like what would work for you !

[@accentontheoff]

Hello, thanks for this. Does Plan allow you to create detailed ToDo Lists. How complete is the task manager within.

[@michael-meadows]

I am surprised Fantastical didn't make the cut to be reviewed.

Google Calendar will be great when people with whom I share events can comment or add information to the scheduled event. it would help a lot!

[@lyricsstalker6746]

Which ones of these apps are free? Thanks in advance, informative descriptions 🙏

I was more interested in how this will appear to me on desktop or on phone to tell me that I have to do something. I need to be noticed in time like an alert or something that will appear many times in a day to make me not forget

Hola, Mariana! I would like to see the old school stuff! Pen, paper, colors..like your videos in the beggining. Greetings from Buenos Aires. ❤

[@hyleore]

TickTick looks like a really cool app! very simple interface too, and the same price as the app I currently use for tasks :O I'm so tempted to switch now

[@calicocat7054]

It's so good. Very affordable, too~ It's really great for someone like me who has ADHD :D My favorite feature if you can schedule something from your email. So if I receive an event notif or something for school, I just send it to ticktick so I won't forget haha

[@markihall1319]

​@@calicocat7054 I've had tick tick downloaded for almost a yr. But I too have ADHD hense the procrastinating a yr. I love everything I've heard on tick tick. But when I go to use it I still get so overwhelmed and don't know where to start. 😬😫🥴😂

[@_m.pcr_8904]

Great Video! Finally found the right app for me😅

[@stephaniechrystal]

Great video Marianna! Always love your recommendations and learning about new apps. 😍TickTick definitely looks appealing! Curious, do you use it to plan projects, and for creating recurring tasks (e.g. video content creation)? Or do you plan in Notion and transfer it over? Obrigada!

Hi, thanks for the insightful video. Would just like to ask if are any of these applications can be shared with others? Like a joint schedule.

[@ActuallyGoose]

As someone with severe ADHD, planning my day in a block by block basis improves my productivity and helps my overall mood day to day. I constantly forget or get sidetracked to do the most basic of tasks like making sure I drink water, so to be able to setup tasks as a quick check in to know "at 2pm I need to check my water bottle to make sure I'm keeping up with my daily intake of water. It's a good routine for me to follow
