What are /r/todoist's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Filters would be the best solution for you here- one of the things that gives Todoist a leg up over Things3 (Ive used Things3 in the past)

You are correct, anything that is marked as due Today, will show in the Today section. However, you can create a filtered Today view:

today & !subtask

(! before a query means “not”)

You can get more specific with your filters, by project, time, label, etc. Really endless. I’d start by checking out this page on it.

https://todoist.com/help/articles/introduction-to-filters

But my first recommendation above will solve your main issue with subtasks in Today. Then you can favorite that filter and have it at the top for ease of access. Hope that helps!

Edited: typos

I use Slice to track packages. I have a recipe that creates a todo on the day the package will be delivered so I don't have to constantly check the delivery date.

Sure. Here is an example: #work & /current

This would give you all tasks in the "current" section of the "work" project. Here's some more detail.

As of a few days ago you no longer need to do the URL thing to create a template. You can now directly duplicate a project from within the app or on the web. Duplicate a Project

Yes, I use Notion as a commonplace book / extended brain to keep the junk out of Todoist. I used to use NVAlt as well but Notion's structured system wins by far.

For anyone unfamiliar with the Pomodoro Technique:

You do tasks in focused time slots with short and long breaks already pre-planned. It's to help mitigate procrastination and distractions.

I used to use clockwork tomato, because it was clean. But it's been years since I looked at other apps.

Thanks for the post, I think I should re implement this technique

Hello,

Could you please check if you have any firewall blocking some requests or whether a restart of the app helps? For further assistance, please submit a ticket at https://todoist.com/contact :)

(for those unaware of the "every" vs "every!" option, here's the relevant documentation)

I've noticed it misbehaving at times too

Hello! Just go to Settings &gt;> Integrations or <strong>click here</strong>, go to the bottom of the page and click on "Issue a new API token".

A pop-up should appear, click "Ok", enjoy being logged out everywhere! By the way at the moment Todoist doesn't have 2FA unfortunately.

I think I remember that the amount of tasks in a goal does not influence the amount of karma you get ;) The basic information is on this help page: https://todoist.com/de/help/articles/introduction-to-karma

Just to add my personal thoughts here: Karma is funny at the beginning but as you reach higher levels it looses attraction very fast. When you are working from grand master to enlightened it’s a long way to go 😂

As a long-time Todoist user, you will know that each “year in review” URL is just an iteration of the year. So you can go back to the first “year in review” back in 2016 by just changing the end of the URL.

If you check the 2020 URL, it’s inaccessible at present. Will likely change in the next couple of days I would think.

I use IFTTT.com for this. The routine / applet goes "IF it's 2am then create Todoist task" and I just have a bunch of them setup. I have some that run on the morning of the first every month to setup the upcoming month, some that run on Monday mornings to set me up for the week, and a couple that run daily.

The catch with this is it will not delete the past due items. One of my organizational tasks each morning is to find all past due items and reschedule them, maybe you could make a filter to show all past due items and link it to a task due every evening with a reminder? This way it allows you an evening recap, the ability to delete things that you don't want to see tomorrow, and may even motivate you to knock a couple things out if you want to.

Lastly, this is what you asked but I wanted to throw it out there: you may be better off with a habit building app like &quot;Streaks&quot; for this. I love the fact that it makes it a game, gently reminds me stuff needs done, and starts fresh every morning and doesn't make me feel guilty when I am trying to get other things on my Todoist done.

Yes, you can use Siri on your phone or watch to create To Dos. You need to use IFTTT or some other automation software, but it's easy enough: https://ifttt.com/applets/222641p-use-siri-to-create-todoist-reminders

I have it setup for Google, Alexa, and a few other services.

I think Todoist would be the better option for you considering how much time you spend on a Windows PC vs. an iPhone. Things 3 is Apple only, and while you can "mail to things", in my experience that's not always the easiest way to set reminders. I do prefer the way Things 3 looks over Todoist, though.

Todoist has great integration with Google Calendar, too.

https://todoist.com/help/articles/use-google-calendar-with-todoist

I don't think there's anything in the tool itself that will tell you how many times. I use an IFTTT connection to add a line to a Google Sheet. It's not perfect, but you could use that to go back and count (or setup a function in the Google Sheet to count). IFTTT app

According to the documentation !assigned to: others should filter out all tasks assigned to, well, others. So I'm pretty sure the part that's not working is "steph".

REALLY like this. Thanks. I tend to treat my workday as “here are the 27 things I need to get done.” I can see how a few P1 tasks at a time can make it manageable. And the first set you do can be an Eat the Frog set.

I wonder whether anyone has given https://todoist.com/integrations/apps/vcrecur a chance? This is a relatively new integration that seems to aim exactly at solving this problem, it could be a good solution as long as there is nothing directly within the product :-)

There is no limit:.https://todoist.com/help/articles/todoists-limits-for-tasks,-projects,-files-and-more

But competed tasks aren't included in the backup. In worst case scenario all tasks that got marked as competed 21 days ago are lost: https://todoist.com/help/articles/backups

For figuring out the best system for you, I encourage you to take this quiz that ToDoist put out. I found it super helpful for setting up a system that addresses each person's obstacles to productivity. https://todoist.com/productivity-methods

I agree with u/enjolrs as well that Toggl is a super useful tool for tracking your actual time of completing tasks, especially if you have a job where you need to complete your timesheet based on different projects/bill codes.

In their defense, I can imagine creating an app that works seamlessly across ALL devices is incredibly challenging. Just take a look at their release log - it's continuously full of bug fixes. These guys are working hard. Plus, I give the Todoist team huge credit for keeping things simple. That's usually a really hard choice to make, especially from a very opinionated userbase.

On the other hand, I would love to see a public roadmap, or something similar, just to know what features or fixes are on the radar. Check out Buffer's roadmap for an example.

The beta of the new Mac app is a lot more stable/reliable than the production one. The latter has been plagued with issues over heavy CPU usage etc.

You can get the beta here...

https://todoist.com/help/articles/how-to-use-todoist-for-google-assistant here you go! Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Thanks for the additional thoughts on Outlook, the flags are certainly something to think about 🤔

1. The cap is 300 tasks per project: https://todoist.com/pricing
2. With that many tasks there’s got to be at least a few categories of items you can split off into other projects.
3. I’d look at creating a filter to show you old tasks to see if there’s stuff that can be deleted. Mine looks like this: “created before: -90 & !recurring &!#ReadingList” but you may want to adjust the timeframe.

You could use labels. Get a few labels 'Morning', 'Afternoon' and 'Evening'. Then you can type '@Morning' in the task to get it labeled Morning.

https://todoist.com/help/articles/how-to-best-use-labels

AaddeMos, you may want to look at ClickUp (https://clickup.com/). I'm looking at it now as a replacement to Todoist and thought of your post here that you made a few days ago. ClickUp has both start and due dates but so much more. They're development team is a lot more active and it has everything Todoist has. The only difference is, free users are limited to 100MB storage. Paid users ($5/mo) you get unlimited but considering that it has basically everything people have been wanting in Todoist, it's looking to be the answer I've been looking for.

​

The app really does seem to get a lot right. Just a few features that it has....

1. Dependencies
2. Start and Due dates.
3. Rich Text Formatting
4. 2-way sync with Google Calendar

The only caveat is that the project structure is different where you have projects and then lists but I'm actually able to manage that structure as the software includes dependencies so I don't need to rely on tiered projects any more like I was trying to do with Todoist. It's worth a look.

It's a bit long for a screenshot, but here's my personal link: https://todoist.com/review/2019/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJqdGkiOiJsZ2NrTXR6RiIsInVpZCI6NDkxODA2MCwieWVhciI6MjAxOX0.JKsnh0nXmdksct3YXLhk-MkUYfK1e07orYxn5QckNQI

First, note that Todoist offers a 50% discount for nonprofits, so keep that in mind when considering the price. Wunderlist is completely free, but I'm not sure how long it will last since the Microsoft acquisition since Microsoft is pushing their to-do service. I haven't personally used Asana, but I think it's more like Trello than Todoist. I believe that the choice mainly depends on preference. For my personal to-do list, having a checkbox list is ideal. If I was managing a big project with a team, and the order was more complex than just completing a series of tasks, something like Trello might be better.

If your nonprofit would be benefited by having a checkbox list, then I think Todoist premium might be a worthwhile investment. Due to the nonprofit discount, I believe that the $30 a year price per person is very reasonable, especially if you're already paying for other online services for your nonprofit. The added features to premium can be very helpful. The premium page on their website shows the full list of the extra features you get with premium, and here is a list of the features I personally use the most:

• Reminders (useful for remembering to do important things)
• Daily backups (to restore a project if something goes wrong)
• Themes (not really necessary, just nice)
• View of all completed tasks
• Task duplication (useful for adding multiple similar weeks of school assignments)
• Notes and attachments (useful for remembering extra details about a task)

I've been going back and forth recently and all comments, labels, forwarded emails, etc are all there. you can't add new ones, but nothing is deleted!

if you'd like, you can use my referral link to try it out :)

Try deleting the cookies and then visit the base site and see if that helps? Also try launching Chrome without extensions to see if something is hosing it up.

I know this is 2 months old, but there's literally a comment from TickTick Team explaining the whole situation.

What's even funnier is the fact, that Todoist uses AWS as well and their Privacy policy is the same. Read here: https://todoist.com/security. Choosing between TickTick and Todoist because of privacy and security is stupid. It's the same.

I also don't know why Appest Limited is a shady company. Because it is based in Honkong? Because there's nothing shady about them and you can see outgoing connections even in your browser. All requests are basically from Google Analytics, Amazon CloudFront and TickTick API. Todoist have the same requests + MaxCDN servers on top of it.

It's the same with Android app.

Being privacy and security wise is great, but being biased and xenophobic isn't really healthy.

I have 3 months of Todoist left, I also use Any.do, so I am not on neither side, but your argument wasn't factual, so that's why I decided to comment.

Gotcha. The Todoist system actually has a bunch of ways you can integrate your tasks with your calendar app, or vice versa (Calendar appointments to your Todoist list). Check out the integration page for options at https://todoist.com/integrations

For example, they recently released a two-way sync with Google Calendar. I haven't done it yet, but it's worth checking out.

And one last note... I've been working on a time-tracking system built on top of Todoist which allows me to attach time estimates to my todoist tasks (via labels). I'm currently "dog-fooding" it, but it's coming along better than I expected. If you're interested... I can put it into beta and release for public use if it'll help enough folks. Just drop me a line and let me know.

I received an email about it earlier for beta. You have to set it up through the integrations.

• Open the Todoist web app (https://todoist.com/) and go to Settings → Integrations tab (on the far right).
• Click Connect next to Google Calendar.
• Follow the instructions to authorize and set up the connection.

Following these instructions it has worked for me.

I would try suggesting this in the Todoist Firefox help forum, or searching for a workaround there. They have support staff there, but I don't think anyone from Todoist actually looks at the subreddit.

I used to try to use Todoist to manage my habits for a few months or so, and realized that it was overwhelming to have so many small tasks per day. Combine that with the trouble of getting the flexible due dates just right, and I decided to use a separate app for most of my habits.

I personally use Loop Habit Traker on Android, but there are plenty of others that are the same. A perk of using something like that is you can see the history of your habits, too.

I still keep habits that need to be planned for (laundry, going to the gym, etc.) as Todoist tasks in addition to the other app. And sometimes, when I'm planning my day, I'll take some habits from the habit tracker and make one-time tasks for them in Todoist. Depends on how organized I'm feeling.

I have struggled with that issue yesterday and have found some solutions:

- You can add an emoji to the project name, so that when you filter by ##Work, you can filter by ##<emoji_code>Work instead

- If you don't like to have emojis (like me) you can make an hack that its a bit tricky:

You can copy/paste this emoji https://emojipedia.org/zero-width-joiner/. Its an invisible-zero-with emoji that you can paste IN THE MIDDLE OF the word "Work" and you have to apply that to your filters. With this way, you can keep visually a ##Work project without mixing with other projects that contain that word because they will not have that invisible emoji

While we await the native Alexa integration, I recommend trying IFTTT for your shopping list. I have it set up that if I add anything to my amazon shopping list it ends up in my Todoist shopping 'project' folder. https://ifttt.com/applets/wrTVvDpC-add-your-new-shopping-list-items-to-todoist

I know it's not perfect, but it works reasonably well for what you described. "Amazon, add XYZ to my shopping list." -> IFTTT adds XYZ to your designated Todoist folder for you, in my case shopping.

For me this is true too. I like to see my accomplishments of the day.

As a workaround I use some IFTTT Script that sends me a daily report of the completed tasks, but its not as fast of a visual feedback as the feature you proposed. So +1 from me. Definitely a motivation boost and fairly straight forward.

As a Bonus this allows to reopen closed tasks easily.

I haven't done any of this yet, but may be helping onboard some new folks soon. I was actually looking at Trello's inspiration for onboarding as a potential.

Since I started using ToDoist full-time in December, I've been craving an easy way to generate a daily list of completed tasks as part of my end of the day review. There is a good IFTTT recipe that adds all completed tasks to a google sheet, but I didn't really want to have to go interrogate that sheet every time I wanted to review. A summary sent to me via email makes more sense for my workflow.

I finally decided to write a Google Sheets script to accomplish this. This workflow uses the IFTTT recipe below to capture all completed tasks to a Google sheet:

https://ifttt.com/applets/67297169d-put-all-your-completed-tasks-in-a-google-spreadsheet

I then added a script to this sheet to match today’s date with the date column in the sheet. If it matches the date, it adds the row to an HTML table and then emails that table to me when done. The picture is what the final result looks like. Others may have a different solution, or more elegant code, but this gets the job done for me. Here’s a link to the google script if you’re interested:

https://pastebin.com/jkYbAwND

I use an IFTTT applet to dump a completed task into a spreadsheet. The applet I found creates a spreadsheet for each project, but then it's a snap to go back and look at all the completed tasks (sort by date and just look at last week).

Not built into Todoist, but still an option.

Edit: link to the applet

I have one that somebody recommended on this subreddit actually ... it puts all my completed tasks into a Google Spreadsheet (by project). This is very helpful at work when I have to either review the actions taken on a specific project over the course of a month or so, or if I just have to give a weekly report of what I've done. Yes, I can view completed tasks in Todoist, but since I use Todoist for both personal and work ... this makes it super easy.

Thanks, I totally forgot about IFTTT... But there I also haven't found what I need. The closest are these two:

Trello tasks assigned to me sync Trello and Todoist

They both have the problem that they only work with tasks assigned to me - the tasks I need to synchronize are all created by myself - and/or cards and not checklist items.

You could try to combine it with IFTTT.

https://ifttt.com/applets/215825p-create-a-weekly-reoccurring-task-in-todoist/edit

I use this recipe to generate my daily routines because I don't want the daily routines showing up every day on my Google Calendar. You could have this IFTTT automatically generate a new task every day at midnight "<Task> every! 4 hours starting at 9am"

I don't know if you can indicate and ending time. You may have to just delete it the last time you check it off.

Not sure how you would do it, but maybe try using IFTTT to create the calendar events from todoist - there's a couple of recipes that look like they migh do what you need, maybe with a bit of tweaking

https://ifttt.com/todoist

EDIT: Just had a look, you can definitely do it if you create a custom task, there's a trigger for it "New task created with label This Trigger fires every time you create a new task with a label you specify"

Todoist has native bi-directional Gcal integration. Check out this link https://todoist.com/help/articles/use-google-calendar-with-todoist.

Idk if it offers everything you need but it’s a solid starting point.

Todoist supports editing of multiple tasks.

You can select the multiple tasks and then use the schedule feature to manually entry the schedule (e.g. “after 2 week”) which will then be applied to all the selected tasks.

See https://todoist.com/help/articles/select-and-manage-multiple-tasks

It's not mentioned in the changelog of the latest update, so I guess it doesn't exist.

Todoist does support shortcuts, so if the extention does not exist, you could hack together your own.

Here's an excellent overview of the filters options: https://todoist.com/help/articles/introduction-to-filters

I do believe the issue with your current is that instead of "p:" you should be using "#" to indicate a project and to get the dates only for the work project you need to put them in brackets - () - with a line like | in the middle instead of a comma. Sorry I don't know the official names for the symbols but I hope this helps!

Some of the free time tracking integrations work fine for simple use cases(toggl&trackingtime). But they required too much additional work on their app/site to be useful for me.
https://todoist.com/integrations

If I'd try it again, I'd look for tools working directly with Google calendar. Information about projects and subtasks would be lost, but it's probably easier to find a good tool

One thing that I love about todoist is that you can make it as simple or as complex as you want. It is a really powerful tool, but you don't need to start using all of the features at once. Over time you'll find your use cases.

I use two main projects in the same account - one for work, and one for personal stuff. I have a couple other projects that I use for organizing things, but not important right now.

Some people like subprojects for the next level of categorization but I prefer tags. But I honestly don't even use tags that much any more. I realized that it wasn't really adding much value to my process. There are a couple tags that I use for integrations just so I know where the task came from.

I really only use priority, date, and "project" (@work or @personal) now.

I have a view that I use to sort by priority then by date. I end up with a view that shows what I need to do today and what order I need to do them in. And I found that that's really all I need most of the time.

I have a combined view that shows both personal and work tasks, and I have favorites for the work and personal projects so I can see the tasks separately.

The absolute most valuable piece of todoist for me is the quick add task functionality. The most important part of the process is getting things out of your head and into an organizer. I open the todoist window, press q and start typing. The inline tag recognition is amazing. I can type up "Call mom tom @personal p2" and that creates a p2 task in the personal project that is due tomorrow. The task isn't to call my mother Tom as it might initially seem 😁.

I also started using the Kanban feature they recently released for work stuff, but that's a story for another post.

Happy to share a referral link. Two free months of pro for you if you haven't purchased a Todoist plan before. I earn two free months if you decide to keep paying for it after the trial.

You might be interested in integrating with Google calendar! You could do something exactly like this that would sync on the calendar.

https://todoist.com/help/articles/use-google-calendar-with-todoist

I don't know if this is perfect, but you can do something like that with IFTTT. https://ifttt.com/recipes/220391-if-todoist-task-with-label-is-completed-create-new-task With this recipe, once you complete a certain task, it will automatically make a new one.

My partner and I have a shared project that has household tasks in it. Clean kitchen, towels etc. We can set notifications to both our accounts and whoever does it can just complete it and it will move to the next due date or disappear if it's a single task.

This link showcases how to add other users to shared projects. https://todoist.com/help/articles/sharing-projects-and-collaborating

You're on a beta version, so stability isn't guaranteed.

From their beta testing page:

> Beta apps may be less stable than the versions officially released to the public. This means the app may crash or some features might not work properly.

It's possible to get a refund, but I guess you aren't eligible: Check it out https://todoist.com/help/articles/how-can-i-get-a-refund.

Maybe you can give your account to someone you know changing the email, deleting all projects, remaining completed tasks and backups. I don't know if it's in agreement with the policy of use, but you can ask them.

One more update:

The issue is now listed under the "Known issues" and there seems to be a workaround for the time being. I haven't tried it yet, but will do that now:

https://todoist.com/help/articles/known-issues

You can integrate the two accounts with a Power-Up, then click Add to Todoist on any Trello board and it will automatically be added as a task to Todoist, and from Todoist click the link that is auto-added to the name of your Todoist task to launch back into Trello.

There's a chrome extension that lets you quickly create Todoist tasks from your Gmail, if that helps: https://todoist.com/help/articles/use-gmail-with-todoist

I couldn't operate without labels and filters, personally.

An exclamation mark before part of the filter makes it an exclude e.g. ##Work & !#CPD would give you all tasks from work and sub projects if it but not the CPD project.

You can find more detail here.

Basically, it's a way to slim down what you see for easier focus. I use this to see all my errands while I am out or to show tasks I can complete during work hours (so excluding things like home chores).

In the example "#Homework & tomorrow & !@science" # means that the project is Homework, @ means the label is science (just like when you type them while adding a task), and ! means not. So this is basically saying show all my homework tasks, due tomorrow, but not science. This is an excellent resource: https://todoist.com/help/articles/introduction-to-filters

Your karma depends on more that just the amount of tasks completed. It takes into account your personal goals, the use of features like recurring tasks, labels and reminders, your streak. You might also lose karma points for overdue tasks.

That's why you may have more completed tasks but less points.

There is a new desktop app in making, currently still in beta - you can download it here: https://todoist.com/downloads/windows?lang=en Notifications work for me using this app.

But beware that this is still beta and personally I have Boards views broken at the moment, unable to drag & drop.

Is Google (I'm guessing Chrome) the default browser on your system? Are you on Windows 10 and is it up to date? I'm having a feeling this is an SSL issue, but I'm really just guessing here.

Another thing you could try is downloading the legacy windows version of the app and see if that works.

Hi! If I remember correctly, when you set up the integration initially it gives you an option to do both way sync. The gcal events do take a bit longer to show up in todoist though and by default have a 'gcal' label.

Check out step 3 on this link: https://todoist.com/help/articles/use-google-calendar-with-todoist

I use the same ToDoist/GC setup on iOS/MacBook. I had the same issue with my 3 different work/business calendars and integration with ToDoist. To solve that problem, I changed the color of the Project to match my GCal account - you can do that by clicking on the 3 dots next to each Project Title and changing the color(s) accordingly to match GCal.

Other best experience share I can give you re: prioritizing your tasks is that every night before bed, I do a quick "scan" of the next day's tasks and choose the 3 most important that HAVE to get done the next day. Then, the next day, only work on those 3 tasks until they're done, then move on to lower priority tasks. I use an Eisenhower Matrix analysis to decide priorities. Anything that is in the bottom 2 boxes, I try to delegate to my VA.

Good luck and Happy New Year! 🤙🏼

I suggest you take a look at this collection of posts at their website: https://todoist.com/productivity-methods I myself use the time blocking/boxing approach outlined here: https://youtu.be/XRl3zkWAKvU

From what you are saying, I don't see how being able to add start dates to reoccurring tasks is going to magically transform your productivity. It's just another thing where the discipline needed to keep it up with will fade over time until it provides no value.

Have you taken Todoist's quiz on productivity methods? I think it does a good job on narrowing down on a method based on people's tendencies, then giving some guidance on how to apply the method into Todoist.

Thank you - that was exactly what I was looking for.

Todoist has their own intro and guide https://todoist.com/productivity-methods/getting-things-done

There are a number of others available.

So I used to use Onenote for note taking but found that I reached a point where my needs my notes far exceeded the capabilities it had (It was only designed for simple notes and hasn't really evolved since). So now I've split that over Notion and Obsidian, each are a little more targeted to specific use cases and offer much more functionality.

In general I use Notion for notes about my presonal life. Things like personal finances, book lists, book notes, workout schedule, online shopping lists, recipes etc... The template and database functionalities in Notion are extremely useful for these kind of things, and it's really worth learning how to properly use it. There's a ton of YouTube content on how people have set up their notion for themselves, so have a look :)

When it comes to more serious note taking, for work and research, I'll use Obsidian. Obsidian is basically a markdown interpreter (rather simple text editing language used in github readme files for example), and it encourages you to think at a much more horizontal level. You spend little to no time thinking about the hiearchy of your notes, and much more about making links between notes directly. It also has great support for inline pictures/pdf files and splitscreen editing modes, and the Graph mode it offers gives a great overview of your notes and all the links between them. For anyone needing to take notes for work/research purposes it's a great tool, you can check it out here https://obsidian.md/.

In general I think what I love about Obsidian and Notion is that, where Onenote provides a very rigid set of options, they provide you with a set of tools that allow you to customize your personal knowledge management to your liking. I'd highly recommend having a look at them! And of course, Todoist remains the backbone for me in terms of todo list management :)

As far as the recurring task with end date goes: "every friday ending july 14", for example. Or "every 3 days until july 14", etc. You can also include start dates -- e.g. "every sunday from june 4 until july 25".

As far as jotting quick thoughts and then developing them later, check out "drafts" if you are an IOS user. I was skeptical at first but became a convert. It integrates nicely with Todoist. http://agiletortoise.com/drafts/ Very neat little app, although it costs $5.

There are loads of IFTTT applets for todoist. Go to IFTTT and do a search on Todioist. Easy to log to google spreadheets, etc.

As far as the download from website to todoist for your practice schedule, I'd love to see this too, but so far no luck. If there is any way to get your schedule into google calendar, Todoist now integrates with that, although I have not tried using it that way yet.

Even though his videos are at the beginner level, you might also enjoy a few of Carl Pullein's series on todiost: https://www.reddit.com/r/todoist/duplicates/4zooh5/todoist_tutorial_series_70_howto_videos_on/

I am an avid todoist user and have much more to say, but this is enough for now. Feel free to message me. Good luck!

I don’t understand how you’re getting so many. Check out the screenshots Cultured Code gave here for the Small Widget. https://culturedcode.com/things/blog/

Theirs only shows 3 tasks with 9 being today.

Wunderlist was bought by Microsoft, who moved most of those developers to their new Todo app, Microsoft Todo. But it still has a ways to go in terms of features to catch up to Wunderlist, Things, Todoist.

Well, what are they using as a task-management or assignment system?

Todoist offers many integration options with other platforms. And where Todoist falls short, Zapier (which integrates well with Todoist) picks up the slack.

Between those two API's, there's not much out there which you can't integrate with Todoist. So maybe using their system, but integrating it with your Todoist workflow would be a better route to go.

WorkFlowy is great and getting better with mirroring and back linking. I’ve used it for years.

Here’s a referral link if interested. I’ve maxed-out any benefit I would gain from you using it, but you should still get the extra 250 bullets per month I think.

Here is my link for fun of it. https://todoist.com/review/2019/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJqdGkiOiJWV2R5eHN4ZiIsInVpZCI6MTY1OTA3MSwieWVhciI6MjAxOX0.RTtcDayEN_yGur6p0wl0JOhBIUeaJxmFv4w1_UTHq5c

When you hit certain karma level you used to get a code mailed to you. I don't know if it is stil there because they are changing some stuff.

You can try to get two months free by using my link:

I got a 3-month code to swap. I have waited for the thread to come. PM me.

Here's that referral code that everyone's doing right now. (oh yeah new users pls click thx)

EDIT: Claimed!

For example, I have a filter named "very old". To create that filter I used the syntax for filters:

created before: -90 days & !recurring & !#Shopping

That same syntax appears in the URL, although in an escaped format:

https://todoist.com/app?lang=en#agenda%2Fcreated%20before%3A%20-90%20days%20%26%20!recurring%20%26%20!%23Shopping

Just to follow up, I have found the answer. The Todoist API documentation is bit ambiguous, seeming written around POST requests, but to download (sync) a full list of tasks, a simple URL-encoded GET request, as constructed below, did the trick:

function getTodoistTasks(){ var apiURL = "https://todoist.com/API/v7/sync"; var queryString = "?token=" + getTodoistTokenRev() + "&sync_token=%27*%27&resource_types=[%22items%22]";

//Get params var fetchParameters = {}; fetchParameters.method = 'get'; fetchParameters.contentType = 'x-www-form-urlencoded'; fetchParameters.muteHttpExceptions = true;

//make request and return var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(apiURL + queryString, fetchParameters); var syncData = JSON.parse(response.getContentText()); return(syncData); }

> Todoist is for To-Do items.

I make a lot of lists that aren't to-do items. I've found that Google Keep is great for those, and so is Anylist, which was designed as a shopping list app but does lists for anything, and the free tier is extremely useful.

I'm completely biased but my recommendation is Memorigi over Todoist and TickTick. Don't get me wrong, both have their strengths but they feel like they're stuck in the 90's.

I use a separate app for habit tracking, because I like the separation it creates from my todo list.

Also, using a dedicated habit app provides a bunch of cool features and insights into your progression, rather than just having a recurring task which you complete a bunch of times, which I really like!

Hey there, try this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glennnygard.agendawidget&amp;hl=en

been using it until something better comes up

Have you looked through the activity log for a particular task? I have a whole project of things that I want to do daily, like practicing Portuguese or taking vitamins. The activity log shows when I marked the task vs when I rescheduled it. Pretty quick to punch these up in a spreadsheet of you want it quantifiable.

Otherwise I would recommend nomie. Not in active development anymore but a great tracker of literally anything, with all kinds of useful graphs. I used to track everything from how often I drink coffee to how much time I spend reading.

You could try using a 3rd party launcher like Nova Launcher which lets you change the look and feel of widgets. I stopped using the Todoist widget on my screens earlier this year but I here is a screenshot of how small or large you can make it on a Nexus 6P. You'll have to scroll down on the screenshot to view the small size of the widget.

Grip, it's a modern interpretation of GTD + how to set yearly goals and prioritize your life

GTD is 'Getting Things Done', a productivity system. This Lifehacker article about it is very good, and this is a great 15-minute overview of the system.

&#x200B;

For what it's worth though, I'm not a strict GTD-er and I've been happily using Todoist for years so I don't think it's an essential part of the experience.

https://todoist.com/help/articles/set-a-recurring-due-date

"Todoist prefers the starting date at the end.For example, every 14 days starting 1 Nov 7am will not correctly recognize the time. Instead, use every 14 days 7am starting 1 Nov.

Todoist prefers the time after the first date. If you try setting a due date of 7am every other Wednesday starting 1 Nov, Todoist will not properly recognize the recurring element of the task. Instead, use every other Wednesday 7am starting 1 Nov."

Basically: every [days] [time] [start] [end]

Ok! This could be something we could consider even without UI Extensions. We do support custom duration https://todoist.com/help/articles/use-google-calendar-with-todoist#using-the-integration — Maybe not syncing a task could use a similar syntax, e.g. [todoistonly].

Reoccurrence with multiple days is possible, however trying multiple times per day is not currently possible.

https://todoist.com/help/articles/set-a-recurring-due-date

"Can I create more complex recurring tasks using the term every more than once? Yes, but only if you're adding several due dates to one task, for example, every Monday, every Tuesday. However, you can't add due dates using more than one every that will depend on each other, for example, every Monday every 1 hour."

Out support team told me that it's most likely a configuration issue. Can you try the steps below to see if it helps:
1. Disable the Todoist skill in Alexa
2. Rename or delete the two default lists: Alexa Shopping List and Alexa To-do List.
3. Re-enable the Todoist skill in Alexa

Don't hesitate to contact the team if the issue still persists: https://todoist.com/help/articles/how-to-contact-our-support-team

Filters are your friends here:

1. Today - today
2. This Week - 7 days
3. This Month - 31 days
4. This Year - 365 days

Of course that's a rolling search. So if you're looking at this filter on a Thursday, the #1 filter would should Thurs - Wed.

Also you can daisy chain filters with the ,

So, you can have those all on one giant filter that looks like this:

today, 7 days, 31 days, 365 days

If you're a person who already have a previous system, you can jump right in.

I think Todoist is best when using filters to create a list from otherwise seemingly-unrelated things. Maybe you could start by reading their entire website or here https://todoist.com/getting-started

From the Todoist reminder FAQ:

> Yes, but you can only snooze the reminders you receive on Android or iOS. To snooze a reminder on Android, simply tap Snooze on the reminder. On iOS, open your Notification Center and long press the reminder, then tap Snooze.

I'm interested in starting OKRs in Todoist as well, but I don't understand why you're saying that it's locked and not visible to the team. Maybe you're only using the individual version. In Todoist business you can share the OKRs with the whole team. https://todoist.com/productivity-methods/okrs-objectives-key-results. Let me know how it goes for you if you try it.

1. Why do you even need Apple Reminders when using Todoist? You may use Siri with Todoist, according to this: https://todoist.com/help/articles/using-siri-with-todoist And Todoist also has a pretty nice native Apple Watch app, as far as I can remember.
2. If I remember correctly, with two-way sync of Todoist with Google Calendar (https://todoist.com/integrations/apps/google-calendar) you can bind some project in Todoist to your Google Calendar, and calendar events will look like tasks in Todoist, and tasks you create in that project in Todoist will appear in your Google Calendar as one-hour events. So you can just bind your desired existing calendar to Todoist instead of creating a separate "Todoist" calendar.

P.S.: Not an active Todoist subscriber right now, but used it actively for a long time in the past.
