TickTick How To -- What do you want to see?

My TickTick's premium yearly subscription ends on 28 June, 2025. I'll focus most of the content right now on TickTick while I still can, as I won't be renewing.

My main task management is done on paper, with note taking, project planning, scheduling, list outlines, processes/checklists storage and more on a plain .txt file, as I seem to have more peace of mind and less overwhelm that way, rather than using cloud-based apps that carry issues/bugs (I'll make some more posts about my paper/txt setup later).

But considering my previous interactions with people on Reddit, I see there's a need for TickTick content. I've learned quite a lot about the app over the years, and I see lots of folks making requests on features that already exist on TickTick, or asking how to manage their life inside of TickTick. So why not take advantage of my remaining subscription and share my personal experience?

This is what I'll be posting in the near future:

Feature overview and how to: habit tracker (probably in multiple blog posts, lots to cover)
How to create a challenge in TickTick
Workflow: Day Segmentation in TickTick
Workflow: Compartmentalizing in TickTick
Workflow: Run everything in a single list setup in TickTick
TickTick's subtasks, checklists and check items explained
Various ways to handle shopping lists in TickTick
Feature overview and how to: pomodoro/stopwatch/custom timers (probably in multiple blog posts, lots to cover)
Markdown Note Taking
Custom Theming in TickTick
How to generate reports
How to avoid overdue tasks
Gamification in TickTick
And other beginner-friendly tutorials, such as:

how to sort by creation date
how to hide task or note count
how to backup
how to change swipe shortcuts for tasks on mobile apps
change task defaults
explaining custom recurrences for tasks
and more

Please post in the comments section below what else you want to see covered in TicTick.

And should I resurrect my YouTube channel? I haven't found time to make videos in so long, that my YouTube channel has been demonetized for quite a while. I still don't know how I will find time for video tutorials, but if you think they'll be useful to you, please make some noise about it in the comment section below and I'll get my butt in gear.

Also feel free to request tutorials and workflows for other apps. I'm thinking to cover Habitica next.
