Thanks for your content - I'm a hybrid digi-log user and I'm tossing around the idea of converting to the Todoist app as it's highly popular. This gives me some insight as to the pros-cons. Appreciate your concise and helpful content. Love watching your channel grow.
The natural language processing is unparalleled. I highly recommend learning all of the notations such as # for projects, labels, p1 for priority, etc. Using them while capturing saves a ton of time for processing later. Its the main reason I have used Todoist for 3 years
Great video! I have the same setup with M365 (corporate) and Apple Reminders (private). Although I would love to merge both apps, I still struggle with how to add tasks from emails and how to get tasks from MS planner synced to any other app than ToDo...
I actually prefer to keep my work & personal stuff separate, so using MS To-Do for work & Apple Reminders for personal works for me. But then, I don’t think I’m as busy as you are. 😉 That said, I do see some features in Todoist id love to see in To-Do. I also need to see if my employer’s MS 365 set up includes Planner; that might be useful, but I need to learn more about it. Thanks for the thoughtful content!
I did initially. I love trying out new ways to see if it makes any difference. I’ve started to explore bullet journaling to be more mindful and intentional about my to dos. Initially targeting work but it has taken over so far
Interesting move. Been using ToDoist for several years and i find it to be powerful for all the reasons you mention. What I find interetsing is how do you integrate your work into this/ Manually? I ask because being in a Microsoft 365 environment its pretty cool to have integrations with To Do, Planner, Project and even Lists. Curious how your employer is treating ToDoist.
One thing I prefer with To Do (via Chrome on Windows) is that notifications are sticky not transient so never miss one. Did find that can change notification duration to 5 min using Accessibility settings so that does improve Todoist notifications
@Jillatcheckthebox Dominique from Todoist here 👋 Great video, Jill! I'm curious, can you tell me more about the workaround you had to put in place to replace/replicate Microsoft Planner's project specific boards?
Hi Dominique, Thanks for the comment. I’m still trying to figure this out and it’s hard to put into words and I might be over thinking it. You may be aware that MS planner automatically syncs with MS To Do, and within my role in my day job we use MS for all things. So having created boards somewhere else in a separate location, with multiple people as owners of tasks, it pulls in to their MS To Do if they’re choosing to use that tool as their task tracker. My specific problem is that I am still using MS planner for large scale projects/roadmaps but now I am using Todoist and the two don’t marry and I couldn’t make them if there was an option due to ISMS 27001. So I don’t specifically have a work around that is efficient, and it’s duplicating effort having just recorded these tasks in Todoist in isolation. So it’s not necessarily a workaround, it’s just done twice. I don’t think I’ll be able to resolve this but it won’t stop me using the app.
Yeah, I must admit, the calendar functionality is a friction point for me. I’ve always had Apple only products and having to use a Google account just for calendars has been annoying. That’s what I have done though. And then it syncs into my iOS calendar app. As for the other friction point you mentioned, I actually don’t know what you’re talking about so I can’t help you. Good luck though.

Do you work with the paid version or the free one?
Great video but I’m a bit confused by the projects piece. There is a projects section, you create a project title, and use tags to assign tasks to it when capturing tasks. Or add tasks directly to the project. Then for each project you can set the view to list, board or calendar view, set up sections (like Kagan) and move tasks between sections. Same as trello or asana. I think you are limited to 3 projects with the free version, unlimited with a subscription.
Do you miss any of the integration features such as creating a to-do list in OneNote and automatically creating task in Microsoft to do? I’ve been a Todoist user for a long time, but have resigned myself to the fact that I have to use OneNote in my work.
Right move. I recently stopped using Todoist due to its handling of deleted tasks. When you delete a task, it goes to a "deleted tasks" panel, which cannot be cleared unless you delete your entire account. This is concerning for users like me who rely on Todoist for managing all our tasks.
🥳Delighted to see how you use Todoist, Jill! Welcome!
Thank you I’m loving it!

Your video’s are great. You should enable super thanks for those of us who would like to support the channel

@@Jillatcheckthebox Got you, thanks for explaining. It's crystal clear now :)
Maybe you can use the board view with in a project #context and adding sections to see it as a planner mode

Was that a Pilot Frixxion you were writing with when you talked about having to cross things out?! 😁
Ha ha, of all the pens I chose for that, I choose the one that can be erased - Very observant of you!!
I am sure you know by now but they do now integrate to Apple calendar :)
Funny, I'm thinking about leaving Todoist for Microsoft To Do 😅
why
Don't
You
Dare

I see the convenience but I've gotten used to adding tasks quickly on todoist. The big thing for me is not needing authentication for using todoist
I’d rather chew glass than use Microsuck anything but thanks for the video.
I just moved to ticktick from todoist. I miss th aesthetic of todoist though
This is what retains me from such move
Todoist aesthetics is pleasure )

Would like to know why not things 3
I hated Todoist 🤷♂️
