    Great info! I have trouble with due dates as well. Going to try only putting due dates on things with real due dates and reminders for the rest like you said.

      Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm glad you found this helpful!
      I think setting "false" due dates is so common in the beginning. My weekly review helps me continue to trust my system and not have to rely on those false due dates as much. Check out my weekly review video here if you want to see how I do that. ruclips.net/video/bo5vrWQmlZE/видео.html

    This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and this is exactly what I’ve been looking for!! I’ve been wanting to start implementing my GTD system in a particular app….and this video was extremely helpful!! Unfortunately, I don’t find very many GTD related videos on RUclips, so you definitely have a lifelong subscriber here!! I’m looking forward to watching your other videos regarding GTD as well.
    If I do have any questions, what’s the best way to get in touch with you?
    Thank you for the wonderful, informative content!!! 🙏🏼✨😁

      Glad to have helped! I also wasn't finding a lot of GTD videos on RUclips about people who were actually using it in real life (lots of videos talking about it in theory though) which was a big reason for me starting this channel.

    Fantastic suggestion about only using actual due dates. Thank you. I'm going to implement that in my todoist.

    • @OrganizingHigher
      @OrganizingHigher  3 года назад +1

      Glad it was helpful for you! Once I made the shift in only using true due dates, I felt so much more in control of my to do lists. Without my weekly review though, I don't think this would work because I would miss things. I talk about my weekly review process here: ruclips.net/video/hH6yyhBlC-I/видео.html

      All of this is just my own version of GTD implementation. I think so much of successful implementation is about finding a personalized setup that works for you. I hope people are able to find a nugget or two is this video that is helpful for their setup.

    Another Todoist fan here... Great video! Just a tip, you should setup an ifttt.com automation to move those tasks in Alexa Inbox to the main Inbox. It's free and eliminates the task of moving tasks around. Just open 1 Inbox and you're done! ;-)

    • @OrganizingHigher
      @OrganizingHigher  3 года назад +2

      Thanks for the feedback! Todoist is so great. I definitely love IFTTT and thought they capped your applets at 3. I've only just learned that applies to custom applets. The pre-created ones are free though. Thanks for the tip!

    I need some advice though, I have tasks that I need to complete weekly, however they don't have a specific due date per say. Not sure how to set these up in todoist

    • @OrganizingHigher
      @OrganizingHigher  3 года назад +2

      Glad you love my videos. Thanks so much for sharing them!
      Sometimes I have tasks I *must* do by the end of the week and sometimes I have tasks I *want* to do by the end of the week. Chores usually fall into that second category.
      I give my Must Dos a due date in Todoist of Friday (or Saturday) to guarantee they get done by the end of the week. I have very few of these. The Want To Dos don't have a due date at all. I get to them when I get to them depending on contexts, energy, etc. To help avoid missing things, I always review all of my next actions lists during my weekly review. This helps ensure I don't have Want To Dos hanging out for too long.
      Alternatively, if it's for something like a routine, you might create a task in Todoist called Weekly Routine and either add subtasks or put info in the comments. If you want to complete these tasks weekly, you can give it a due date of "every week" so it shows up as due each week or "every! week" so it is due 1 week after you last completed it. Here's more info on recurring dates: todoist.com/help/articles/set-a-recurring-due-date
      Hope this helps!

    i ran into the due date debacle too.. my solution was to create a label called "due_date" and one called "reminder".. then you can clearly distinguish between the two and you click on your items in the due date label to see what deliverables are coming up. I have a filter "due in 30 days" which is: @due_date & 30 days
