The cornerstone of my time management strategy

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Todoist is the cornerstone of my time management strategy along with Spark Mail and Google Calendar. The integration is perfect with these and other apps, and the mobile app is crucial so I do not miss anything.

Pros:

Todoist offers many advantages to my workflow. First of all, it is as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. I usually start jotting down ideas, thoughts, chores, or proper tasks. Then I add context as necessary. I can also input tasks from my smartphone, from my email client, even from Google Calendar which syncs perfectly here).

Cons:

My only negative is that the new Google Calendar integration allows me to use only one calendar for all my projects. I prefer to have separate calendars for each project in order to better understand my use of time.

A Mixed Bag

3.0 9 months ago

Pros:

One thing I enjoyed thoroughly was the interface and the choice of colors, both for the overall theme and individual customisation.

Cons:

There is a lack of seamlessness. Things feel labored and clunky, especially given the labored way in which to-do aspects and productivity and calendar aspects do not blend in a user friendly manner.

I would recommend it if you want simplicity and to get things done.

4.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: Overall I like it, They also have templates for most uses that you can use, and it is very fast to set it up. The widgets are nice, and you can synce it to all your devices easily.

Pros:

I like the clean userface that doesn't have ads and that even if with a free account you can have 5 projects with unlimited tasks. Also filters and tags are really helpful.

Cons:

That reminders are a paid feature because i think it is an important one.

Give your brain the gift of relaxation!

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: I use Todoist in conjunction with the Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity book by David Allen. The whole concept is that if you have a system set up that you can trust, you can add your tasks and remove them from your brain so it can relax and focus on more meaningful tasks than remembering to do the laundry when you get home. Then, if you find you have 10 free minutes and you've set up your tasks according to this system, you can knock out your calls or the like with a quick search to pull all similar tasks into one screen.

Pros:

This is a great program to help you get your life organized. It allows you to attach tasks to projects, add subtasks, schedule and color code tasks, add tags, etc., which then allows you to search by different details and best utilize your time. It's easy to reschedule things, if you don't get them done, and it is seamless to use between mobile and desktop platforms. There are so many ways to slice and dice your list items (if you set them up that way) that it's really easy to utilize Todoist in a variety of ways or to adjust your system if it needs to change over time.

Cons:

Some of the tasks are a little clunky to do on your phone, mostly because it's smaller and touch related. You can be more precise with a mouse and see more options on the desktop. I wish there were more contrasting colors to choose from, but they do give you over 10 options, so that's just me being picky. Mostly no complaints.

Comments: I love having my tasks well organized to approach every day with a set plan and can work efficiently, without forgetting anything I need to do. Checking things off my list is satisfying and motivates me to get more done.

Pros:

I always have a mental checklist of to-dos in my mind but other than a chaotic notes, app haven't found anything to work as a useful, simple, and seamless checklist like Todoist. It helps me lay everything out to see what I need to get done and at what priority level to work efficiently.

Cons:

The only thing is I wished they integrated with my Notion calendar!

Easy and Useful Tool for day-to-day

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: It's great! I'm able to quickly jot down what I need to be doing, reference things, and I don't have to worry about forgetting anything. The phone app is very handy in keeping things top of mind.

Pros:

It easily keeps track of my tasks, reminders, backlog and more for personal and professional goals, general tasks, and habits. The natural language detection is pretty good and helps with scheduling things on the fly without needing to open menus, just type.

Cons:

Tasks can sometimes get lost if you aren't diligent in looking at your lists or without setting a due date. Other than that, I wish the time blocking feature was a bit more robust.

Cons:

Really there is nothing that I don't like! Maybe the color scheme?

Easy to sign up and just as easy to get your todo list going and on track within minutes. Excellent and intuitive layout made it almost 2nd nature to know how to get into action and start making a difference in my normally cluttered and convoluted life.

Cons:

Knowing my free trial would be ending at the end of the month.

The best to do list app

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: Todoist is simple, easy to use and powerful! I was looking for an app to use to capture my everyday to do list items for work and todoist suited my needs perfectly. I've recommended Todoist to my whole team!

Pros:

The upcoming view is my to-go so I can see my todo list for the week and any overdue tasks. Being able to make tasks reoccuring is 1 of my favourite features. The mobile app is great for adding items while on the go.

Cons:

I don't have many cons about using Todoist so far. My only con would be only wanting 1 way sync with my calendar. I think with the recent upgrade, the only option now is 2 way.

Good To-Do App but Not For Me

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: Overall, this is a good app if you want to be organized with your tasks and work. This is simply not for me because I want something a little bit more simpler. However, this will be perfect for someone who likes using notion on the computer but not on their phone.

Pros:

I like how customizable that interface is, it's nice to change everything the way you want it. I also like how I'm able to connect it with my Google calendar.

Cons:

I don't like making tasks on the app, it feels a bit too much. For example when I make a task with a date and time, it feels like I'm adding a hashtag instead of a label. I would prefer it being a small label underneath like how it is when you check it in upcoming tasks.
