Bye Todoist, hello Tweek
Todoist has been my faithful companion for my personal todos for a very long time. Everything I wanted and needed to do for myself, for the house, for my family, for my mom and so on. But although the tool is great, it never suited me personally or my way of working/my requirements.
I've been using Todoist for so long now that I'm still on an old Pro plan for 36 dollars a year. The tool now costs a few dollars more, and if I cancel now, I won't be able to get the cheaper price if I change my mind at some point. That's when my inner money saver, who has no idea what I actually need, rebels.
Tweek is basically an A4 sheet with the 7 days of the week as well as a "Someday" column and other "anything columns" that I can fill in as I wish. That's exactly what I want from a to-do list. I open it, choose the day on which I want or need to do something, press enter and that's it. With 2-3 more clicks I set reminders or repetitions.
As I don't always manage to complete to-dos on the set day, I have activated the function that to-dos that have not been completed are automatically postponed to the next day. Practical! However, I make sure that these are really things that won't end the world for a change if I don't have time for them. Example: Trying out tool xyz. Whether I do it today, tomorrow or in two weeks' time is totally irrelevant. Theoretically, I could also drag it into the "Someday" column, although I would like to have it done in the next few days at least.
(un)Important interruption
Some time ago, I had the great idea to save myself money with the Structured Lifetime Plan (something around 10 dollars) and replace Todoist "forever" with it. That didn't work out for me. Structured plans through a day by the hour. But that's not how my brain works. I want to do something sometime on a certain day. Structured can do that too, but the UI is not optimized for this.
End of Line.
Let's tweek productivity
The tool is frighteningly simple, which I just love. It also doesn't have any funky features like AI text recognition, which I never used with Todoist anyway. So what the heck - I can use Tweek in the browser and on my iPhone (in a really nicely optimized app) - exactly my use case.
With this in mind, why not try it out for yourself! As soon as you open the website, you can give it a direct shot. For my part, I have found a tool that suits me. This saves me the constant pressure of having to adapt to a tool.
PS: There is a similar tool called TeuxDeux, which I had already tried several times before. Although it has a similar approach, it never really convinced me. In direct comparison to Tweek, TeuxDeux seems unnecessarily overloaded despite its simplicity.
