Now I had to create a separate “Planning” calendar, and add tasks manually – which I didn’t do consistently.Īnother problem was recurrent tasks, which I did once a week or once a month. The main thing I missed was the integration with Google Calendar – in Todoist I would enter a date and time, and an event would show up on my calendar. Unfortunately, there were a few disadvantages as well, that made me miss Todoist. This way my todo list was also accessible offline, and it was in the same app as my other project-related notes.
Also, I became more aware of the weight of the different tasks, and I feel that overall my todo list became more balanced. When adding a task, I had to add it to a specific row, so I would already see what other tasks I had planned for then. This system had several advantages that I missed with Todoist.
I started with “work” and “home”, but later split these up into more categories, based on priority. Most of the time I worked with the “Current” list, where I made a table with one row for each week, and columns for different types of tasks. “Current” was for anything that was coming up, and “Maybe” for projects that I might or might not do. I decided to go with the checklist approach, and created two notes – “Current” and “Maybe”. You can see notes as individual todos, and then organize them via notebooks or tags, or you can create a checklist in a single note. Evernote as your todo-listĮvernote is not a specific todo-list app, but it is possible to use it as such. So you can be too optimistic when adding a task for “tomorrow” when you already have various meetings and other tasks scheduled.įinally, Todoist has a desktop app, but it doesn’t work if you start it when you are offline. Although I was regularly organizing my list, just having all the other tasks there was kind of weighing on me.Ī related problem is that when you add a task, you don’t see what tasks you already have scheduled. But since all tasks have the same “weight” (even if you give them different priority), your overall task list becomes too focused on not-always-important, little tasks. Of course the adding tasks functionality of Todoist widgets is great, and it is easy to capture all the little things you need to do. My main problem with Todoist is that it is too easy add tasks. In this post I explain why I switched from Todoist+Evernote to only using Evernote, and why I later decided to go back to my trusted system. However, last year following a period of illness I’ve reconsidered the tools I use.
#Notion vs todoist full
I love the features Todoist offers and keeping all of my tasks/reminders in 1 app for full visibility of my work.I’ve been a happy user of both Todoist and Evernote for a few years now – see my post on using Todoist and Evernote together with Google Calendar to get things done. I plan on using both for awhile, but have you faced any challenges with either route above? Appreciate any feedback you may have on this.Ĭurrently, I have my tasks for personal projects in notion but leaning towards migrating them over to Todoist and then embedding those lists within my Notion projects. I keep a majority of my personal project data, info, and resources (along with many other areas of my life) within Notion as my main note-taking software, but also really love using Todoist for task management and reminders. I have thought about which path I should take for some time now. Hello fellow Notionites - I have a question for those that have used/still use both Notion & Todoist at the same time:ĭo you prefer using Notion's database functionality for tracking tasks for certain projects you are maintaining within Notion or, instead, embedding your project tasks within Todoist into your Notion project page?
