![]() When Palm died I actually went to paper for a while until I found Todoist a few years ago. I was an avid palm user starting at the ripe old age of 13. Usually if I note it down in the app, and it's actually important, I'll do it - without checking toodist. I think if I had to reflect, I mostly use it to help solidify the memory of "I need to do this". I simply don't have enough time in the work day to tackle everything. Todoist definitely becomes less functional when you just have a sea of tasks, but I can't really have it any other way. I also sometimes use a light eisenhower matrix (the matrix is when you apply the labels important/not important and urgent/not urgent - I find that I never write down a task unless it's important, so I just use urgent/not urgent) to prioritize my work.Īnd wow, you hit todoistzero most days? MUST BE NICE I use tags often to categorize my work for future reference/context. I rarely assign dates to tasks (except to mass move everything to today/tomorrow). I mostly use it to brain dump tasks that i need to address at some point. I use other task apps for personal tasks, usually ones that are specifically geared towards self-improvement I've tried using it for other things, but I really hate mixing work and personal. Each event gets a task and sub-tasks and deadlines and we assign responsibilities. We discuss various aspects of the event in person and then flesh out action items in a todoist task. Vacations, business trips, kid's birthday parties, home renovations projects, etc. We have a project for movies we want to watch (this solves the "what do you want to watch?" discussion fast). We have a project which is one-time tasks which need to be done. There are tasks for renewing passports, driver's licenses, vehicle registration, submitting taxes, scheduling vehicle maintenance, and doctor's appointments for example. Many are on their own schedules and there are links to comments, notes, and/or pictures. One of them is periodic tasks that make our household run. Add a task, comment on a task, ask a question.she sees it and answers on her schedule and it's easy to find and searchable. Between the time zone difference and me not wanting to interrupt her work flow with a small question, it became difficult to figure out how to communicate. Being able to communicate about the normal everyday issues is essential to our success, but keeping track of that communication can be difficult. My wife is a supercommuter, living at home with me and our three kids on the weekends and then working in another time zone Monday through Friday. Getting things out of my brain and onto the inbox, then I will fully flesh them out later. Reminders of "TPS reports" at work that I need which are on odd schedules. Reminders of daily tasks that I need to get done (journaling, reading, taking out the trash). ![]() Grocery style lists at several different stores. The biggest positives: keeps me from forgetting stuff, helps me be more productive, gets stray thoughts off my brain, and helps my marriage. How about you? I’d love to hear why others here are using Todoist. At the end of the day when I hit #TodoistZero because I’ve checked off all of that day’s tasks (or, more likely, rescheduled what I didn’t get to for another day), I feel immense satisfaction.įor me, I use Todoist because it helps me feel done. I’ve been starting to think the principal motivation is actually the sense of freedom from feelings of guilt or obligation that there’s something else to do. But I think there’s been a larger goal to it than just achieving organization. Disorganization and parenting don’t go together. But over the years, I have become increasingly and more aggressively planned and scheduled. I’ve been using it for four or so years (Karma: Grand Master, 42,158 - though it’s been ages since I’d checked that), and I don’t know how I would live without it.įor most of my life, no one would have called me a very organized person. But even so, I’ve been thinking a lot about my relationship with Todoist. With the world so disrupted and my work-life routines so upended, much of what I used to track in Todoist has changed. Not how you use Todoist, but what do you think it’s good for?
