How to get back on track when you're mid-complete chaos/overwhelm. And, tips on determining, anticipating, organizing subtasks for a project with multiple parts to it - particularly when the initial subtasks are research related and research culminates into numerous potential rabbit holes to go down.
Excellent presentation - I would like to see an actual demo of Todoist set up as you describe each of the elements of the GTD methodology. It really helps to view it implemented in the app.
What would be very helpful for me is a video on moving from another app (eg Things or Reminders) to Todoist. Not so much the export/import process, but more some advice about what to consider when first re-organising your (say) 200+ tasks in a way that will work best for the user in Todoist. Thank you!
Amazing breakdown! I'd love to see how you use Todoist in context with other tools. Meaning: where do content creators create their content, and how do they organize their tasks; how can a team of developers use Todoist, for example. I guess what I am asking for is more of a case study type breakdown by team type. Keep being awesome!
Another great video Naomi. You dabbled a little into your workflow, but I would like to understand more how you and the rest of the team use Todoist to get things done. How do you handle follow ups, email, tasks, etc. Keep up the work
Hello, great content, thank you. Can you show real-life cases of how people use Todoist at various levels: basic, intermediate, advanced, and super master? I consider myself a basic-intermediate user, and my daily routine doesn’t require very advanced usage. However, I want to learn more and be more productive, even as a basic user. Thank you. 😊🌟
Great video - it reminded me of some of the elements of GTD that I’ve let slip by the wayside! I was interested in your comment about preferring subtasks to projects. I’m currently transitioning from Things (which only has projects), and I’d be interested in seeing anything that offers advice as to when subtasks are a good alternative to projects. My gut feeling is to keep the projects list simple - perhaps limited only to areas of focus - and to use subtasks for everything else, but is there some middle path that makes sense? What are the advantages of using subtasks over projects and vice versa? I think I already know the answers to some of these things, but I’d be interested in seeing the official Todoist take on this.
I'm retired and looking to downsize, although I still need order for my home office. I'm looking for direction... where to start. Do you have that type of plan?
When should I check my inbox? Also how do I manage project subprojects? Considering Todoist only allows a maximum of 5 projects, it doesn't seem like they're encouraging to create projects at all.
We do have a paid plan where you can have up to 300 projects. If you've found value in the app, perhaps you'd consider a subscription? It also supports our development! ❤️
OH! I want to analog and togoist working together? OR aspect of yes I have all my reference in todoist but I need to read up notes on it... Where would I start or what programs best integrate with todoist.
Hi Naomi, thanks for yet another great video. Here are some ideas for future video topics: * Case studies of people using Todoist (not necessarily staff or celebrity-like); so sample setups for specific professions or use cases. * How to tackle 1000+ open tasks. * How to use team workspaces for delegating. * A regular feature which features Todoist hacks, maybe niche tricks. Similar to lifehacks for Todoist. * Spotlights of integrations. * Spotlights of the very most productive Todoist users (highest completed tasks count, longest task streaks,...). * Spotlights of how people use templates and checklists. * A comparison of organizational methods with advantages and disadvantages for specific use cases. * Special projects that occur for many people with tips on how to manage them better - e. g. moving into a new home, organizing a large party,... * Tasks that are to be done periodically by a lot of people, such as specific setups for maintaining health. * Guides on how to create daily routines and habits; could be an implementation of Atomic Habits or something similar.
Would love to have people talking through their Todoist set ups - either those who work at TD or anyone at all who wants to share, I always learn something from seeing set ups
I agree. I came to this video with some demo of set ups. You did that a little in the beginning. With the usefulness of this program I’d love to see it in action with ToDoists functions.
Hi Naomi, thanks for this. Around 3:39, on sorting the inbox, you said something like "attach it to the comments of the relevant task." I often find myself trying to do this but end up copying and pasting. Were you saying there is a drag and drop way to do this? You don't show in the video and I can't find anything in the help files. Can you point me in the right direction?
Good summary! It would be great if you could do without the background music. That would make the videos more accessible for people with auditory perception difficulties. It's very tiring for me as it is, as I always have to switch my attention back and forth between speech and music.
Claiming that Todoist is a good fit for someone is quite an untrue statement. It can't defer tasks (big part of the GTD method) and it has lists, not projects one can complete. Why do the people at Todoist keep claiming one can use it for GTD even though this quite simply NOT true!
I've never been diagnosed with adhd, I'm psychologist and near friends thinks that I have adhd... Since a couple a years ago, after suffer lots of scolds from some bosses (I usually forgot a lot stuff, trying to trust in my memory...) I started to organize my life with Todoist, and my quality of life improve, I think that I've try to take a lil' bit of each productivity system that I've heard of... The thing about the calendar view is something that I would like to try, is something that I was waiting since time ago.
Would love to see some examples of how ADHD folks could use Todoist to manage the whole Being A Responsible Adult thing. I'm more organised at work than I am in my home life, particularly around keeping on top of routine tasks that don't have deadlines (laundry, anyone?!).
Hello, I've tried using the GTD method in my Todoist. The biggest problem that I face is that even after full capture and kinda clarifying, I'm unable to get my arms around the task list. Projects, next actions etc are all feeling a bit too overwhelming still. Do you have any recommendations as to how I can actually start to implement I've spent hours trying to set up the system, even referring to the book many times, yet still unable to take action on the system?
Hi Naomi, thanks for the video. I'd love to see actual setups of the methods that people are using to get beyond theory along with pros/cons of each. Or maybe synergistic uses of multiple methods. Whatever the case, keep the bloopers!
Excelente vídeo! Eu adoraria poder experimentar a versão pro do Todoist e colocar em prática o meu novo sistema GTD. Seria muito bom se você pudesse apresentar alguns exemplos da implementação do GTD no Todoist também.
I want to find a video that explains how to use Todoist to implement the PARA System and Tiago Forte's Second Brain method. Additionally, I'm looking for a video that covers the same topic but for Craig Ballantyne's Perfect Day Formula and Perfect Week Formula.
I love this, GTD makes me feel like my ToDo things are gaming objectives hahaha. I think maybe it could be interesting if you talk about Agility Methods to make projects, like Scrum Methodology
This video was sooo helpful, thank you very much! It woild be great to discuss how to specifically implement Todoist with a family as a teamspace. I think this would be very helpful to manage family life in a digital environment. 😊
Great video! My brain is happy that it is being allowed to think for a change and not just a cluttered mess. I just bought the book: Automating your busywork by Aytekin Tank. I am working on 'saving my brain for the big stuff'. I am new to todoist. Have you already addressed this book? Thanks!

I’m on the fence with Todoist. I need to consolidate work and personal. Simplify my workflows and have better organization. I’m trying Microsoft To Do, Planny, & Structured. So far none quite do what I need.
Very enjoyable, thank you. I am a great fan of GTD. But I am also one of those that David Allen gave a chapter to: "Why Bright People Procrastinate the Most". I procrastinate a lot, although not very bright. But as I am often spending more time in-putting than outputting. I would love the To-Doist A.I. help me not inputting duplicate To-Do items (in multiples) - can you please provide a video on how to do that? Thank you very much!
Thank you for your wonderful and funny video! I would like to request a view for "TODAY" that has a separation between morning, day, and evening. In short, a more captivating view.. :-)
Thank you for this helpful summary. I like GTD very much. As an idea for other videos, I would like to see ways to implement Todoist using Kanban methodology for project management. I have over 30 long-term work projects to keep track of, and seeing where they are in my pipeline would be super helpful.
Great video! I've found Todoist is an excellent match for GTD, but I have a hard time implementing it because I get overwhelmed by all the things I want to do... my inbox is out of control and processing it can get overwhelming and draining, let alone tackling my weekly review. I would love some guidance on how to combine Todoist and GTD for those of us with racecar-brain (ADD). Thanks again!
Great videos! My biggest challenge comes with prioritizing my tasks. I prioritize my tasks with a modified Eisenhower grid: 1) Important and Urgent 2) Important and Non-Urgent 3) Non-Important and Urgent. My problem is that category 2 piles up and I begin to not put anything in there because it's so full, so then I being to put (what should really be) category 2 items into category 1 items so that I make sure I get to them in a reasonable amount of time. So, of course, my category 1 fills up as well and the system ceases to function well. Any recommendations on how to handle this better?
This is a user's review and question from Taiwan.😍 This is an excellent video that has taught me how to maximize the benefits of using Todoist through a systematic mindset. I'm curious to learn more about the physiological and psychological aspects. After organizing tasks using GTD concepts, how can one achieve the most sustainable state of "focus" management on a personal level? We all want to accomplish as many tasks as possible, but as humans, our mental energy is limited. How can I maintain vitality for my loved ones and friends after work?
Question: at 4:58 you state “you could create a judiet, but GTD suggests using judiets sparingly.” What is a judiet? I’ve read most of GTD and this doesn’t sound familiar. Thank you.
Enjoy watching your videos, Naomi! A lot is going on these days with AI. I'd be interested in learning more about the existing AI integration within the application, but more broadly, how do productivity experts and enthusiasts see AI improving one's productivity?
You mentioned you are not a fan of tasks and sub-tasks tho recommended by GTD. You also mentioned GTD advise minimize adding dates to tasks, and using labels instead. And using projects to help separate team vs personal. In these comments I hear putting things in buckets and sub-buckets can help generally and they can also hurt, depending how you do them. I'd like to see how folks find the balance of when to use dates vs labels vs neither, tasks vs sub-tasks, no projects vs projects vs sections in projects - in a way that avoids creating too much noise while trying to simplify the noise - example: using AI to turn the vat of soup of tasks in to quieter cup of coffee of tasks
Hi Naomi. I am a Big GTD fan. GTD in its pure version does rarely apply due dates but is more based on priorities and context. Your advice on applying the new time oriented Todoist features as e. g. calendar view, google calendar Integration with the GTD methodology would be highly appreciated.
Thank you for the wonderful tips as usual. How could I separate work from office. I had one account for both and got crazy receiving reminders at work about home tasks and viceversa. At the end I created an account with my business email to separate them. Now, I want to become Pro, but I can't afford two Pro accounts 😞(not even one, he he he)
This is so helpful, thank you! I'd love to know more about how to work with people who use other softwares (a client uses Microsoft ToDo, I'm sad to say) without having to do a lot of double entry. I'm not sure if this is the kind of suggestion you're looking for? :-)
I'd like to see a bit more detail on how the Todoist Pro features can be used to make a GTD-style workflow even more effective. Given due dates and reminders aren't very "GTD", which features of Pro are designed for GTD advocates, and maybe what else is in the pipleline to make it even better!
Thank you so much. I am currently indeed overwhelmed...and I would like to kindly ask if you could do an absolute beginner presentation and demo? Thank you
I guess in terms of what topics for the future, maybe tips for ongoing maintenance of a GTD workflow? Is there a spring cleaning equivalent that refreshes both what and how you do?
I love this program. My collegue sent it to me. I would like to know about deadlines and how to meet them or challenges faced. Especially formatting documents in a short period and when given a deadline that sometimes seems unreasonable. How do you measure a deadline formatting docs
Nice video! I would also love to learn some tricks to define good tasks, or how to split unclear tasks up into smaller tasks. For example, how can you recognise an unclear or oversized task, that should be broken up into pieces?
I'd love to see how you'd suggest using todoist to track progress toward a larger goal. I'm thinking something like writing the first draft of a book where you may have a recurring task like "Write 1000 words" but would like to use todoist to also track overall progress (so you can log your overall word count and daily progress for days you go over or under your target).
Thank you! I'd love to see this in action in a setting that is either real-life or a demo account that is full enough to accurately simulate real-life (not just 5 tasks or so). How does this actually work? Thanks!
Great summary of GTD. It would be great to see a Todoist template with all the components of GTD, build in a way that can be modified for specific needs.
I use the Todoist and Google calendar integration. But when i see my calendar of tasks im overwhelmed because they are spread across multiple projects. I’d love to see some ideas on using this integration with labels or something that groups similar tasks together or just to keep this feeling more organized.
Hi thanks for a great presentation. I would really like to see how to create time blocks. Create tasks for specific blocks of time dedicated to particular projects or activities. If that is possible 🤷♀️
Interesting video, well structured. The GTD system is very useful. I would like to see the Todoist interface shown a little more and how to do in it what you say in the video. I’ve been using Todoist for a long time and would like to try the pro version. Thank you.
Hi Naomi, great video again! I would like to see more about tasks in combination with subtasks and maybe some explanation why a main task is not automatically completed is all the subtasks are completed.
I don't know if this helps, but I can tell you why I like that main tasks are not completed when all sub-tasks are completed. For me, a lot of times when I've completed all the sub-tasks of a main task, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm completely done with the main task, only that I've completed all the CURRENT sub-tasks. There may be more sub-tasks, and I just don't know them yet, or haven't had time to think it all through. I often also have notes in the comments or links that I might need to save someplace else before I actually complete the task, even though all the sub-tasks are done.
I have been using the app and I love it. I would be interested in knowing if teens and college kids benefit from using this app. It would be great to have someone explain it to that age group via video and to show an example/case study of how a high schooler or college student utilizes it. Thanks again! 8:52
I'd love to see some real Todoist users show their setups! I've been using the tool for a bit now, but it would be nice to see how other people are using it to see if there are any tips I could pick up, or features I'm not using, but might want to if I saw them in practice! Especially maybe a household assigning chores and each person also having their own lists as well.
Thanks for the video! I would personally love to see what recurring tasks people have set up in their Todoists. From on a daily basis, like meditating and going outside, to weekly and monthly routines such as cleaning the house and taking out the rubbish, all the way to tasks you do on a yearly basis such as paying taxes. I feel like this can be a great system for reminders, and would love some inspiration on how else you can apply this method to get tasks simple and out of your head.
Great presentation. I would like to see a deep dive into the Capture step, particularly how you can use integrations to capture on the go. I lost my voice assistant integration with Google a couple years back and have never found a good voice replacement.
Thanks for the amazing content! I would enjoy a lot a video about priorities on the tasks! I feel that the "next:" system feels really suited on how to prioritize the right things!
I’d like to see ways to integrate Todoist with other systems to capture tasks. I’ve set my own up but would love to see how others do this or what Todoist recommend.
i would like a video on how to present todoist to a person who is not very interested in technology, i sometimes think i work alone cause they are afraid of using the app
Loved your video. I've used GTD for many years and have looked high and wide for a tool that will make it work. Todoist is the one! I set it up when I started TODOISt but your video added many other quick ways that will help. Thank you.
How to get back on track when you're mid-complete chaos/overwhelm. And, tips on determining, anticipating, organizing subtasks for a project with multiple parts to it - particularly when the initial subtasks are research related and research culminates into numerous potential rabbit holes to go down.
Excellent presentation - I would like to see an actual demo of Todoist set up as you describe each of the elements of the GTD methodology. It really helps to view it implemented in the app.
Agreed!!! Would LOVE that!
I 100% agree!!!
Dunno if you have seen it already, Todoist has an actual copyable GTD-setup on their homepage.
@@celiagallegosTodoist has an copyable template for GTD on their homepage. You can import it with a click.
I would like to know how you handle a lot of open tasks. How to tackle procrastination and what's the best way to do a Weekly Review in Todoist.
What would be very helpful for me is a video on moving from another app (eg Things or Reminders) to Todoist. Not so much the export/import process, but more some advice about what to consider when first re-organising your (say) 200+ tasks in a way that will work best for the user in Todoist. Thank you!
"Rebooting your Todoist" after you fell of the wagon for a while would be a great video.
THIS RIGHT HERE. I need something like this for sure 😅
I’ve used GTD on and off for quite some time, but you’ve provided a wonderful and short explanation of how to use it in Todoist!
Muchas gracias, empezaré a aplicar esto, aún no lo hago
Thanks for this overview. Been wondering about the technique and this really helps. Especially how ToDoist can be used with the method.
Amazing breakdown! I'd love to see how you use Todoist in context with other tools. Meaning: where do content creators create their content, and how do they organize their tasks; how can a team of developers use Todoist, for example. I guess what I am asking for is more of a case study type breakdown by team type.
Keep being awesome!
Informative video as usual. Would like to see more ways with incorporating analog + Todoist, best use cases.
Another great video Naomi. You dabbled a little into your workflow, but I would like to understand more how you and the rest of the team use Todoist to get things done. How do you handle follow ups, email, tasks, etc. Keep up the work

Great review. Next step...read the book and put the GTD method to use
A video related to how people with ADHD can benefit from Todoist would be great!

Where do we find the one hour video mentioned ? thanks
OH! I want to analog and togoist working together? OR aspect of yes I have all my reference in todoist but I need to read up notes on it... Where would I start or what programs best integrate with todoist.
I WANT THE PROOO

* How to tackle 1000+ open tasks.
* How to use team workspaces for delegating.
* A regular feature which features Todoist hacks, maybe niche tricks. Similar to lifehacks for Todoist.

Naomi, thanks for the educational videos! I would like a video about procrastination and techniques for breaking down large tasks.
I'd love to see a demo of how you would set up the GTD system in todoist where the walkthrough of what that would look like in action.
I'd like to see samples of how other people set up their Todoist system, based around different occupations or primary uses.
Good summary! It would be great if you could do without the background music. That would make the videos more accessible for people with auditory perception difficulties. It's very tiring for me as it is, as I always have to switch my attention back and forth between speech and music.

Excellent! Can you please do a video on how to set up the Fair Play method of delegating household chores and mental load between partners
Innovative ways individuals are using Todoist or organizational strategies by sector (ex. education, law, business, etc.)
Very helpful. I'm trying to process through all of these "methods."
I would love to see a hands on version of this. And, love to see a recommended hierarchy of ToDoist (Projects -> Tasks -> Labels?? Or??) Thanks.
Hello, I've tried using the GTD method in my Todoist. The biggest problem that I face is that even after full capture and kinda clarifying, I'm unable to get my arms around the task list. Projects, next actions etc are all feeling a bit too overwhelming still.
Do you have any recommendations as to how I can actually start to implement I've spent hours trying to set up the system, even referring to the book many times, yet still unable to take action on the system?
This is my ongoing problem too...
For me the option to quickly capture the thoughts is the most important thing. I use the global option of add a task for that.
watch videos of other people's organization examples and also how to make templates
Hi Naomi loved ❤the video very informative. I would love to see you cover the topic of the high productivity mindset
Hi Naomi, thanks for the video. I'd love to see actual setups of the methods that people are using to get beyond theory along with pros/cons of each. Or maybe synergistic uses of multiple methods. Whatever the case, keep the bloopers!
Would love how to deal with the unexpected that require major changes for everything. Possible for moving calendar dates up or back etc

Question: at 4:58 you state “you could create a judiet, but GTD suggests using judiets sparingly.” What is a judiet? I’ve read most of GTD and this doesn’t sound familiar. Thank you.
Enjoy watching your videos, Naomi! A lot is going on these days with AI. I'd be interested in learning more about the existing AI integration within the application, but more broadly, how do productivity experts and enthusiasts see AI improving one's productivity?
You mentioned you are not a fan of tasks and sub-tasks tho recommended by GTD. You also mentioned GTD advise minimize adding dates to tasks, and using labels instead. And using projects to help separate team vs personal. In these comments I hear putting things in buckets and sub-buckets can help generally and they can also hurt, depending how you do them. I'd like to see how folks find the balance of when to use dates vs labels vs neither, tasks vs sub-tasks, no projects vs projects vs sections in projects - in a way that avoids creating too much noise while trying to simplify the noise - example: using AI to turn the vat of soup of tasks in to quieter cup of coffee of tasks
Hi Naomi. I am a Big GTD fan. GTD in its pure version does rarely apply due dates but is more based on priorities and context. Your advice on applying the new time oriented Todoist features as e. g. calendar view, google calendar Integration with the GTD methodology would be highly appreciated.
Thank you for the wonderful tips as usual. How could I separate work from office. I had one account for both and got crazy receiving reminders at work about home tasks and viceversa. At the end I created an account with my business email to separate them. Now, I want to become Pro, but I can't afford two Pro accounts 😞(not even one, he he he)
Describe how to ask for help... your knowledge base isn't that helpful
This is so helpful, thank you! I'd love to know more about how to work with people who use other softwares (a client uses Microsoft ToDo, I'm sad to say) without having to do a lot of double entry. I'm not sure if this is the kind of suggestion you're looking for? :-)
Great video! I would also love to see the demo of the exact setup people are using. I've used GTD methodology for years (sporadically). Inspire me! :)
(per that Video request, I mean ToDoist Labels -- how to manage over time (as labels evolve) and strategies to overlap with macOS Tags.)
I'd like to see a bit more detail on how the Todoist Pro features can be used to make a GTD-style workflow even more effective. Given due dates and reminders aren't very "GTD", which features of Pro are designed for GTD advocates, and maybe what else is in the pipleline to make it even better!
Thank you so much. I am currently indeed overwhelmed...and I would like to kindly ask if you could do an absolute beginner presentation and demo? Thank you
I guess in terms of what topics for the future, maybe tips for ongoing maintenance of a GTD workflow? Is there a spring cleaning equivalent that refreshes both what and how you do?
I love this program. My collegue sent it to me. I would like to know about deadlines and how to meet them or challenges faced. Especially formatting documents in a short period and when given a deadline that sometimes seems unreasonable. How do you measure a deadline formatting docs
Nice video! I would also love to learn some tricks to define good tasks, or how to split unclear tasks up into smaller tasks. For example, how can you recognise an unclear or oversized task, that should be broken up into pieces?
I'd love to see how you'd suggest using todoist to track progress toward a larger goal. I'm thinking something like writing the first draft of a book where you may have a recurring task like "Write 1000 words" but would like to use todoist to also track overall progress (so you can log your overall word count and daily progress for days you go over or under your target).
Thank you! I'd love to see this in action in a setting that is either real-life or a demo account that is full enough to accurately simulate real-life (not just 5 tasks or so). How does this actually work? Thanks!
Great summary of GTD. It would be great to see a Todoist template with all the components of GTD, build in a way that can be modified for specific needs.
I use the Todoist and Google calendar integration. But when i see my calendar of tasks im overwhelmed because they are spread across multiple projects. I’d love to see some ideas on using this integration with labels or something that groups similar tasks together or just to keep this feeling more organized.
Hi thanks for a great presentation. I would really like to see how to create time blocks. Create tasks for specific blocks of time dedicated to particular projects or activities. If that is possible 🤷♀️
Interesting video, well structured. The GTD system is very useful. I would like to see the Todoist interface shown a little more and how to do in it what you say in the video. I’ve been using Todoist for a long time and would like to try the pro version. Thank you.
Hi Naomi, great video again! I would like to see more about tasks in combination with subtasks and maybe some explanation why a main task is not automatically completed is all the subtasks are completed.
I don't know if this helps, but I can tell you why I like that main tasks are not completed when all sub-tasks are completed. For me, a lot of times when I've completed all the sub-tasks of a main task, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm completely done with the main task, only that I've completed all the CURRENT sub-tasks. There may be more sub-tasks, and I just don't know them yet, or haven't had time to think it all through. I often also have notes in the comments or links that I might need to save someplace else before I actually complete the task, even though all the sub-tasks are done.
I have been using the app and I love it. I would be interested in knowing if teens and college kids benefit from using this app. It would be great to have someone explain it to that age group via video and to show an example/case study of how a high schooler or college student utilizes it. Thanks again! 8:52
Video request : Tag management over time with an eye towards the "how to" overlap tags between ToDoist and macOS X tagging.
It would be excellent to show how to set up templates incorporating the GTD method (or other methods).
I'd love to see some real Todoist users show their setups! I've been using the tool for a bit now, but it would be nice to see how other people are using it to see if there are any tips I could pick up, or features I'm not using, but might want to if I saw them in practice! Especially maybe a household assigning chores and each person also having their own lists as well.
Thanks for the great video
Could you elaborate on how using Todoist alongside the GTD approach has aided you in managing stress and anxiety?
Thanks for the video! I would personally love to see what recurring tasks people have set up in their Todoists. From on a daily basis, like meditating and going outside, to weekly and monthly routines such as cleaning the house and taking out the rubbish, all the way to tasks you do on a yearly basis such as paying taxes. I feel like this can be a great system for reminders, and would love some inspiration on how else you can apply this method to get tasks simple and out of your head.
Great presentation. I would like to see a deep dive into the Capture step, particularly how you can use integrations to capture on the go. I lost my voice assistant integration with Google a couple years back and have never found a good voice replacement.
I love using todoist for my work, tho I am not using GTD but a little different customized version of it
Thanks for the amazing content!
I would enjoy a lot a video about priorities on the tasks! I feel that the "next:" system feels really suited on how to prioritize the right things!
I’d like to see ways to integrate Todoist with other systems to capture tasks. I’ve set my own up but would love to see how others do this or what Todoist recommend.
Thanks for this! Any recommendations from GTD on how routine tasks fit into this system?
A video on financial planning and managing cash flow using Todoist and perhaps third party apps.
Naomi, I would like to see how you deal with a task in a project that would fit in with two projects. Which one do you put it in.
I would also love to hear more about how people use to Todoist.. but from people that are natural rebels and never follow a list of things to do.....
i would like a video on how to present todoist to a person who is not very interested in technology, i sometimes think i work alone cause they are afraid of using the app
Thanks... Would like to see it actually in process by people...
I am so excited to try this! I would like to see a Pomodoro timer in the app.
Loved your video. I've used GTD for many years and have looked high and wide for a tool that will make it work. Todoist is the one! I set it up when I started TODOISt but your video added many other quick ways that will help. Thank you.
