![]() I’m not a Todoist evangelist, and there’s many things I love about Things as well! But just figured I’d share how having the boards has helped my workflow. This has really helped me feel more on top of the status of everything I’m working on, and then I can just work out of my daily or weekly lists when I’m not in that big picture planning mindset. By clicking on the main task for a project I’m then able to see essentially everything for the project in one view without clicking around. These give me a big picture overview of what’s on my plate and what stage each project is in. The end result is that I have a main board for my publications in progress and another for conferences and talks. I use the comment function as a kind of working log of when I’ve done things for the project, and I also heavily make use of links (to google docs or ulysses groups, zotero collections, obsidian notes, or mind maps). I use subtasks to define stages of the project with nested sub tasks underneath them. For each writing project or conference talk, I make a non-completable task that has core information and a description of the project. It’s particularly been great with the new task view. Being able to have smaller task lists and life tasks in the same place as my kanban boards for my research and writing output has been amazing. While there are fewer OS integrations, having Todoist integrate well with my multiple email accounts and be accessible from hospital computers was a plus.īut probably the thing that really makes me stay is the board view. Todoist works best among small groups of people organizing relatively uncomplicated tasks. I also am partnered to a non-Apple user, and we’ve used Todoist for shared tasks for years. OmniFocus is an excellent to-do list app with a long features list. There were a few reasons for this: first, I work in a fast-paced clinical setting and found that I didn’t have the time/cognitive space for maintaining overlapping systems. Ultimately, I ended up switching to Todoist despite also noting it’s non-native feel (though not necessarily finding it ugly, its integration with the OS is more limited). ![]() That worked relatively well for me for a long time but I found having to replicate my projects across systems a little frustrating. I was previously between Goodtask and Things 3, using Trello for more of my big picture planning and those other two apps (first Goodtask, then Things) for the more day to day task planning. ![]()
