![]() ![]() Turns out, I don’t need to put every little thing into a system. This is probably due to the nature of my work (design, research, writing, teaching). I used to be all in on OmniFocus and I’ve also used other digital approaches (nearly every one, it’s a hobby, really), but at least right now I see them as a waste of time. I’ve been doing this for maybe six months and my sense of what I have “to do” is so much more manageable. I mostly use crappy paper and a nice pen for these lists.* I’m using methods described in Adam Savage’s book Every Tool’s a Hammer. I still use Reminders, but it’s more for the “hey Siri, remind me to switch the laundry in 45 minutes” tasks. Todoist just has a bit more horsepower and since I’ve been using it for years, a lot of my workflow is burned into my memory. I just found when things got busy at work and at home, it helped to have everything together in one app utilizing some of the things like filters and kanban view not offered in MS ToDo.Īlso, with Todoist’s natural language input I can enter tasks much faster than with ToDo, so there’s less resistance when I’m in the middle of something and want to quickly enter a task during a meeting or something. I don’t have any major complaints other than usually once a day, clicking on the minimized window in the toolbar would do nothing and I’d have to restart the app. It’s also free, and working in an O365 environment it made sense to trial it. I let my Todoist subscription lapse and went with Reminders for a few months (personal) and MS ToDo (work). ![]()
