I fully agree with you. Even I feel there are no projects in our life. Everything is either a Goal or task broadly based on Areas of focus. Thanks a lot for a wonderful video
When I have a task that includes multiple processes I create a template with all steps and duplicate it whenever I need. It works similarly to your example, it's great to organize the tasks =)
Thank you for the video! To translate this to part of my work life where parts of the same set of process steps are repeated for many different requests at any given time, would you use tags, labels or something else to be able to give a status on a particular request?
I prefer to keep that information in a client/project note. I would then make sure the client/project name was in the task and a link to the note so all I need to do is tap on the link and all the information I need will be in front of me.
that depends on context. I use my phone for collecting and clearing tasks at the end of the day. When at my computer, I will use the desktop version. When I am out and about and I have my iPad with me I will use my iPad.
Love this Carl! A quick question for clarity: Why not make a 'Master Task' (i.e. "Publish Podast") then have all those 7 tasks as subtasks under it so that it is nicely containerized in the 'Master Task.' Then you can select reoccuring dates for the subtasks to plan and the final task would be 'Master Task' to check off. (Once the Master Task is checked off it reccurs next week) Would this be a bad way to do it? P.S. I set up most of my "work projects" like this as well.
Ah, I did try that a few years ago, but I never looked at the parent task. It would be different if I did everything in one go, but this way it connects better with my calendar and time blocks.
@@Carl_Pullein ah I see, makes sense. Thanks for getting back to me! Do you break your projects down in Evernote. Like they mirror your todoist? (or if you've made a video about that recently you can point me that way if possible!)
@@itschasemac I have very few projects. But, yes, any projects I do have I will break them down in Evernote and use my calendar to ensure I have sufficient time to work on them.
@@naveenskumar3965 You're quite correct there, Naveen. Sadly as soon as many people attach the word "project" to a series of tasks, they feel obligated to go through a lot of hoops to complete it.
Thank you for this insight and inspiration. When would you add a hyperlink to your Evernote project task checklist in place of adding the individual project process steps in Todoist ? Hope that makes sense. :)
It depends on how well you know your process. The example I give here is something I've been doing for five years, so it's pretty much automatic for me now. If I were starting out, I would create a checklist for each podcast. Once the steps were automatic, I would stop using the checklist.
