    Thank you for this tutorial. It was so helpful because you are one of the few out there to use the free version of ToDoist. I talked to my sister on the phone about her birthday gift as I was deciding between two similar items. She picked one. Then a month later (this morning) she sends me a text asking when I thought it might arrive. So, yes, I need a system. I forgot to order it! Thank you.

    Thank you, really enjoyed this and you summarise the GTD and Dale Carneige perfectly, now I don't need to read the material :). Before watching I started organising my Todoist as it became a dumping ground. Now I have a whole section called Health Balancing The Ledger in a board format with sub sections for 1) Spare Time 2) Physical Health 3) Intellectual Health 4) Intellectual Research 5) Skill: Technology 6) Skill: Career 7) Travel: Near 8) Travel: Far. I think it will be useful to look at as it appears almost like post it notes in columns on a white board. This and other sections that have long term ambitions I plan to review every so often and schedule into the calendar. I hope it helps. Also still looking forward to that beer ;)

    • @LocalizationAcademy
      @LocalizationAcademy  2 роки тому +1

      If it's a high-priority task, it should come on the top. If there are other tasks that need to be done earlier, maybe give them the same priority and then manually sort them within the same priority? (Not sure if this makes sense). Or just keep it as P1 and whenever you open your backlog for today, it will be there on the top... and then you just start it when you can... (later)? ~Andrej

      Hey Angela, thanks for the comment and question. Yeah, our memory is not very reliable 😀 The incomplete tasks for Today don't get rescheduled automatically for "tomorrow's Today". They'll remain overdue and on top of your queue. Which could be useful if you really have to do them asap.

      ooff... sorry, but I can't help :/ I go over my to-do list constantly, so I don't need reminders. For tasks that need to be done by a certain time, I just add them to a calendar (although Todoist has reminders too, haven't tried them since it used to be paid feature... or still is). And with calendar I can snooze it... or shut it off when a task is done. But most of my todos are not tied to a particular hour... just a day, so I don't need a reminder for that since I'm checking it all day.

    Great tutorial until 11:30 on How to add and use projects. The phone does not follow the video, and I have watched three times and tried different ways to get these to go into the projects, but nothing works. A big ask- could you email me or if you have a newer video I would love the link. : )
