For example, I successfully maxed out the number of tasks allowed under a single project (150 in the free version, 200 for premium). While using it to manage a multi-person project, I started to push the boundaries of what the free version has to offer. I’m still using the free version of Todoist, but as I celebrate my one-year anniversary with the app, I’m considering an upgrade. When I see that number in the upper-right corner dip into negative values, I know it’s time to get moving! Free versus Premium Then, there’s the “karma.” While it may seem silly, Todoist’s karma system works on my gamified brain. Project sharing also allows you to add comments, so if a collaborator has a question, they can add it directly to the relevant task. The sharing settings made it easy to assign tasks to different owners, and I received an email notification when a project collaborator had completed a task (or added a new one). I recently used Todoist to manage the editing, artwork, and fulfillment of a big Kickstarter project. Other cool features available in the free version include task sorting (by priority or multi-level indenting) and project sharing. The human language deadlines integrate seamlessly with the keyboard shortcuts, making Todoist a nearly hands-free interface. When assigning a deadline to a task, you can select that deadline from a dropdown calendar, or you can describe the deadline using human language, like so:
One of these features is textual dates and abbreviations. Dates and DeadlinesĪfter familiarizing myself with some of the basic keyboard shortcuts, I was inspired to explore other “hidden” features of Todoist. “q” allows you to add a task from anywhere in the Todoist dashboard, “s” sorts tasks by date, “p” sorts tasks by priority, and there are tons of additional keyboard shortcuts (more than I could possibly remember) that streamline saving, deleting, and sorting. Todoist is chock-full of keyboard shortcuts that make adding new tasks a breeze. It keeps me accountable, inspires me to stay on top of my reading list, and helps me assess whether a task is still relevant if months have gone by and I haven’t completed it. Adding deadlines to tasks that don’t technically require them has been great. You can add a deadline to each task-or not! I assign deadlines to almost everything: unanswered emails, work projects, creative writing, even articles I’d like to read but haven’t gotten around to yet. Though you can go much deeper with Todoist’s premium features, the core of it is simple, and the free version has virtually no learning curve. An app with sticking power-yay! As I mentioned above, the user interface is a major selling point it’s minimal, visually appealing, and the navigation is straightforward.
#TODOIST SHORTCUTS FULL#
I was surprised and delighted when I realized I’d been using Todoist for a full year. If I can’t see it, it can’t haunt me…right? The next step, naturally, was to delete the app out of shame. Months later, I’d rediscover the app on my computer, realizing that most of my to-do list items were still incomplete. I’d use an app for a few weeks, proudly checking items off my to-do list, then I’d promptly forget about it. Prior to discovering Todoist, I’d gone through a number of different task-management apps.
