Every: Completing a task that has a due date of every 3 months will set the task’s due date to 3 months from the task's original date.You can create a recurring task that repeats at regular intervals from either the original task date or from the task's completed date by using every or every!, respectively. Here's how: Repeating a task based on the original date or the completion date Using commas when creating recurring due dates Type thisĮvery monday, friday or ev monday, friday or every mon, friĮvery January 14th, April 14th, June 15th & September 15thĮvery 15th workday, first workday, last workdayĮvery 15th workday, every first and every last workday of a monthġst Wednesday of each January and 3rd Thursday of each July This means that if you create a task with the due date every Monday, Friday at 8pm, both the Monday and Friday recurrence will be scheduled for 8pm. If you plan the tasks/projects somewhere else (Evernote, Notion, Coda, Trello etc.) you can even live without a task manager (unless you still use it as a shopping list or for other stuff).Tasks with due times can't be set independently for each recurring day. With Timeblocking it's a bit different, because you only reserve a generic block in the calendar and then see the real task e.g. Todoist is more or less here only to collect tasks or the inbox for tasks. Then just enter a task in GCal in the available time and mark the task in Todoist as done (a task should always be present only once). You look in Todoist which tasks are pending (best sorted with priorities that you see which is the "most important thing". IMO the best way is to do a daily review and plan your day early. that didn't work for me several times because according to Todoist support there are sometimes problems with Google. I don't think much of the synchronization with GCal. I have completed a lot of tasks in 6 years of using Todoist. They are next visible physical actions to take. I heavily use GTD and absolutely love it. I have defined one improvement project to complete next. And now I am experimenting with 45 mintes per day for the "most important project time". Somedays I might have to reschedule this due to a meeting but at minimum 2x45 minutes I move forward with my ongoing projects. This time is not negotiable I WILL work from my lists. Then I have 2 x 45 minutes for engaging with my predefined work. I have 2 x 45 minutes for clarifying/processing new inputs(Outlook, Todoist inbox or the physical in tray). I am an operations manager for a small business unit within a large corporation so I get many interruptions throughout most days.įor time boxing I use generic time blocks. It's quite difficult to get task specific time boxing work for me. Some days were perfect but on other days(most other days =D) if there was an interruption or I guessed the time wrong I would have to re schedule half of the day. I guessed how long something wold take to complete and time box for these tasks I thought I could complete in a day. Years ago I would put specific tasks to the calendar.
