I would not be able to manage my everyday life w/o Todoist. It's such a great task manager!

@vanessadelgadoelias 14 дней назад

Wow thank you so much for this! I was so overwhelmed by todoist but you explained it so well! Thanks Peter!

@Iam4Ks Год назад

I use the due date available in the todoist as the hard due date/dead line date I use the reminder date as the soft due date.

Hurray - another productivity vlogger demonstrating how to organise the production of... RU-vid videos! I appreciate there are legitimate learnings here, but come on - don't any of you have real jobs you can give examples from? Half the trick is in applying this stuff to your life - most of us are literate enough that we can navigate these apps and their settings by ourselves.

Hello most of my tasks comes from mail. In my work environment, we use o365. It seems that todoist is not so good integrated as ms to do. So can definitely not switch to things 3 or todoist

@laserinsights771 Год назад

Decent review Peter, Todoist doesn't handle deadlines very well, in fact it doesn't handle them at all, but I like the board view so am back with Todoist after a few months with Things 3. I would have stuck with Things but they don't have as many options for viewing your tasks organised by labels which I find very useful. Things has nailed the deadlines though, I really miss that feature.

Todoist has a relatively new support for templates to create a template from an existing project or from a (different) template. But I haven't tried it out myself yet...

You do NOT need todoist premium to do the calendar sync. It worth fine on the free version, setup from the browser

When I'm not in Things 3 I use a 'Deadline' tag with a filter showing the next 14 days....I wish there were a Cultured Doist Peter.

@nancydriessen594 Год назад

Thanks for the tip!!

@keadun Год назад

Honestly...I often go back and forth between leaving one for the other, only to return. Right now I'm back on Things 3 but in the middle of transitioning back to Todoist. I love the look of Things 3 and the price point (one time charge vs recurring)...but I love the ease of entering tasks in Todoist.

@Guipvideotek 11 месяцев назад

Am considering leaving omnifocus since I am sick of the UI and see no improvement whatsoever in the next version. TodoIst vs. Things... still wondering... What makes you say that adding tasks in Things is not as fluid as in Things?

@timpurcell2717 Год назад

With each new video on ToDoist you seem to like it better and better. Is Things3 in danger of being replaced by ToDoist as your favorite?

@PeterAkkies Год назад

Nope!

@nbrown6648 11 месяцев назад

I have been searching for something that combines To Do lists, Calendar and Diary/Journalling - whereby the diary/ journalling part can be simple - just the possibility to make a few notes accompanying the done tasks/activities. And that's the part that I miss in this video - the rest is excellent (both the tool and the video).But it was not shown/explained if one can go back and view the done tasks, when they were done and any accompanying notes. I guess I will have to try it out and see... Update: Ok I have tried it for a few hours, and my impression is one can use comments accompanying tasks as a sort of journalling. Reviewing what was done when is supported in a very rudimentary way (you get a completed list by typing G then C), so no "nice" view looking back. Upcoming view looking forward is a bit better, but also a bit rudimentary - one needs to depends on linking with an external calendar. It would be nice to get all 3 functions reasonably well supported in one app...

@emily28038 Год назад

Question: In you "Anytime" query, why do you leave out subtasks? Aren't you missing subtasks that could be done today?

@PeterAkkies Год назад

Good question. The Anytime view would become really unwieldy if you left out the “not subtasks” bit

@stevenspithaler1979 Год назад

Great video. Really liked the way you laid it out and showed practical application. I have never been able to get far with Todoist despite the good reviews. This video has convinced me to try Todoist again and provided a simple framework to work within. Thanks!

@henkforiers Год назад

Things 3 has a shortcut that lets you easily link an email to a task. Am I correct in thinking that Todoist doesn't have that feature? If not, for me this is a problem for switching to Todoist. I work on a Mac and use the Mac app Mail.

Is there any way for the tasks created in Todoist to appear in Google Calendar as Tasks rather than all day events?

If I hadn't completed your Things course, I might even switch, but I just love Things, even if it is reserved for Apple devices only. :)

@dodgerea8639 9 месяцев назад

Such a great video, Peter. I love that you’ve brought much of what I love about Things over to Todoist in creating the Someday label and Anytime Filter. So helpful. I think I’ll also create a Someday section at the bottom of each project and park those tasks there, or view projects grouped by label so those are kept apart. Anyway, thanks!

I've been using this for a while now, but I haven't tried to organise the tasks. This is encouraging, and I'm gonna have a go. The recent addition of setting time durations for tasks looks helpful, too, especially on the integrated calendar, rather than blocking out an hour every time

Trying out your Anytime / Someday approach. Does this mean I have to either: (1) give 'someday' tag to all entries in my reference projects (e.g. books to read, movies to watch, etc), or (2) use the exclamation point function for those projects [e.g. !(#Books2Read)] so that they don't appear in the anytime list?

@PeterAkkies 11 месяцев назад

Hey David. I recommend keeping reference lists elsewhere, i.e. not in your task manager. They are not tasks (a.k.a. to-dos).

Hey Innokin. I deliberately started from scratch in this video, so my real to-do list is also more complex. I usually wait to define the steps for future projects until I actually start working on them.

@LindaBolt-vy9rx Год назад

Now I know what I could do better: I have 30+ tasks daily, and I’ve been using the “Let’s See What I Get To” method. I need to bravely assign tasks to future dates and set a realistic number of tasks to actually complete daily. Thank you!
