![]() This works both in the web and on the standalone application. is used to bring my cursor right up into the Filter tasks search at the top of the Todoist app. I can hit this from within any application that I’m in and it’ll open up the Add Task screen from my menu bar. Two that I want to highlight here are CMD+SHIFT+A and /.ĬMD+SHIFT+A is the shortcut key for the desktop app to enter in a new task. Todoist has a number of shortcut keys that I use each and every day. ![]() So in this case the 2 clicks is much quicker than several cut and paste keystrokes that I would have otherwise had to do. “Didn’t he say that he didn’t want to use a mouse to click on something to start entering in a task?” - Yes I did, but by having Todoist be able to take the URLs and Emails and create a task with one click saves me the time of cut and pasting it myself. ![]() So that when I get to that task, I click on the title and it opens that email right up, even if I’ve moved it out of my Inbox. Similarly to Chrome, there’s an Add email as task link at the bottom and clicking that brings the subject of the email into the title of the task and create a link out of it. When I’m on an email that I need to take action on but not right away, I open that window, hit ‘q’ and it’ll open the Add Task screen. When installed, you’ll see a small window that looks minimized inside Gmail. Like Chrome there’s a Gmail extension for Todoist. Then once that task filters up in my list, the title of the task is clickable and goes right to the website. It automatically pulls whatever site I’m looking at in as a task and then I can set the rest of details of the task. It’ll pop open the Add Task screen and there’s a link at the bottom that says Add website as task. I simply click the button in the toolbar and then type in ‘q’. Now say I’m on a site for tickets to a show, but they don’t go on sale until some point in the future. Once installed, there appears a button in the toolbar. I use Chrome and Gmail and Todoist has built extensions for both. However Todoist has made this even more seamless with their extensions. When I need a task, let’s say my Weekly Review to happen every Sunday morning, I set the date reminder on it by simply typing “every Sun” and it’ll appear ever Sunday without fail.Īdding tasks into any To Do app should be pretty easy and seamless. Todoist handles repeating tasks perfectly and seamless. If I find myself having to do the same thing twice, then I want to figure out a way to make it happen automatically. Which I suppose is natural being a developer. This is essential to me because I never know where I’ll be at any given point, so I like to know that I can get access to my tasks from anywhere. It is a standalone app, has a web based interface, and an Android app. Native integrations with other tools I use ![]() ![]() If I have to move my mouse to click a few buttons to start typing, then already too much time has been wasted and it breaks my workflow. I need filtering within the application such that as tasks get completed, other tasks filter up either by priority or by date or both. The application to me has to not only work on my computer, but also on my phone, and preferably through the web browser.īeing that I’m on the web all day long in various sites and services, I need the insertion of a task to be easy. In fact, I’d much rather have the application insert itself right into my flow without even thinking about it. So I don’t want to have to work at making sure I’m using the application. I’m a big fan of applications as tools, not as a way of life. What I look for in a To Do application is that it fits within my workflow and everyday use. My ears still perk up anytime I hear about another To Do app mainly because I haven’t fully had one to do the job 100%. When I saw Todoist I thought “what makes this one work better than any others?” However I have had varying success with OmniFocus, Evernote, Gmail, and others. I’ve tried just a ton of the apps and ways to make sure that the tasks for work and home don’t get missed and fall through the cracks. I have spoken many times about GTD and how productivity is a part of my life. ![]()
