Tool of the week – Tick Tick

If you are managing different companies, then your to-do list can get a bit complicated.  I have been testing out “Tick Tick” which is a Google Chrome Extension, a desktop app and it is also available as an app on your phone.  It integrates with your diary system, and you can separate your different areas of interest with smart lists.
