Create a project to track high-level goals.Īrtist and therapist Kane Dodgeson uses a Kanban-style board project to focus on the goals that are his priority right now while keeping track of goals he wants to work toward in the future. Balance out your life with sections for each area you want to focus on. Think of it as your North Star, guiding your daily decisions about what to prioritize. Instead, it’s a high-level list you can refer to again and again. This project isn’t for tasks you’ll check off. Create a high-level “Goal Tracker” project Steal one or several of these strategies for setting, tracking, and achieving your own goals in the year to come. Oftentimes, our to-do lists and our lives get so overrun with the first two types of tasks that we lose sight of the third.Īs we start turning our attention to New Year’s resolutions for 2022, we wanted to share some of the creative ways the Todoist community keeps their goals top of mind all year round. There are the things you have to do (file your taxes, pay your rent, fix the aforementioned sink) the things you really should do (email your boss back, send Grandma a birthday card, get your flu shot) and, finally, the things you actually want to do (graduate college, buy a house, start a business). Normal tasks show up at the top of the day in a separate section, and events display like in a normal calendar.The problem with to-do lists is that they cover everything, up to – and sometimes including – the kitchen sink. Events: something to do on a given day, at a given time, with a deadline.Normal task: something to do on a given day but not at a given time.I can choose to have tasks set as 2 types of events in the calendar: When I move a task around in my TickTick calendar, it gets updated instantly in the various lists across my account, there’s no delay. It’s inside the app, and it won’t conflict with my Google Calendar from the office. The TickTick calendar doesn’t use any external third party to integrate. TickTick has that, and it’s honestly the best thing since sliced bread. It would be much better if Todoist had its own dedicate calendar module. Sure, I could log out of my office Google Calendar and login to my personal one, to then set up Todoist to sync with this one and not the other one, but it’s just a hassle. So I need 2 completely independent systems. I use Google Calendar at my office job, and my own app for my personal work. Third, it creates a mix of Google Calendar meeting events and Todoist tasks, which quickly becomes impossible to manage. So I have to go in Todoist and check it off, and this might conflict with the duration of the event in Google Calendar.
If I delete it, well it will be gone, it won’t count as done. But when I planned for this task I set it to last for 1 hour, so now it’s still showing in my calendar. If I have a task set for 10am on Friday and I’m done with it at 10:30am, then I’ll want to check it off. Second, there is no way to check off an item from Google Calendar. There is a delay (that can be pretty long) to refresh both the Todoist tasks list and the Google Calendar, it’s not efficient or user friendly at all. If you like shuffling your tasks around like I do, trying out different ways of organising, Todoist won’t keep up. This causes various issues.įirst, syncing delays. The way it works is by connecting it to your Google Calendar, and syncing your tasks from inside the app. That’s because the app still (after many feature requests) doesn’t have a built-in calendar view. You might be surprised to see that the Todoist calendar is in fact a Google Calendar.
