Type '/' again, you'll see recent projects already in the dropdown. Typing '/' gets you there, begin typing name of project, select and jump to it. 'project' label ensure it gets included in project filters and GTD reviews.įYI, Todoist is addressing navigation concerns a bit on desktop with search.

That is, if it's a GTD project (>1 step to complete), but doesn't warrant the hassle of a full Todoist project setup, I'll create a task with a 'project' label and subtasks which are the actual tasks of the project. Projects.I give myself permission to create pseudo-projects. As I visit (very infrequently), I do any maintenance or pruning (or adding!). Yes, lot of labels, but I keep a crawler that I advance through them with a repeater. Whenever there's common bits of metadata I want to see visually, I come up with little emoji or codes. Whenever like tasks can be grouped, I group (commonly an app/person/place associated with tasks in multiple projects). I used to only use labels as GTD contexts - I've since come around to using them with abandon. I've gone in similar directions with exception of labels.and projects to a degree.

So, sections and priorities are easily assigned, the only thing left is labels and also here I try no to overdo If I am waiting for something before being able to complete the For tasks I need to book time in the calendar to If the task is just sending an Anything that is a low hanging If somethings needs to be delegated (after that it’s moved to the Delegated I add a plus sign before people’s names to be able to quickly use the query and find all of them This allows me to have 4 columns (which can fit in the screen), easily identify how important things are, and see when they will come up. I use emojis to quickly assign the priority based on the section, since it can’t be automated, and the sections are then sorted using due dates. I use the Eisenhower Matrix approach, so my sections look like this: I stopped using GTD’s context since well, I am at home most of the days, and most of the task I was labeling could be done also from my phone or iPad. With this project I don’t use labels that often and I think the three that I use the most If I am waiting for something before being able to complete the If it’s an errand or something similar, to try and do more tasks while I am walking the dog, for If I need her to complete the task
P4: It’s not really that important or it’s already schedule for some time in the distant future and I need to wait before completing it. To organise priorities here I use a simple approach: Wishlist: A list of things I want or need to buy (only items I really need or want to buy, the real wishlist is on ) If needed, I will then create a separate project. Social: Meet with friends, organise dinners, etc.Īdventure: Book exciting things to do, start thinking about trips, etc. Myself: Main section for any task that affects me and doesn’t fit in any other section As stated above, I use boards and sections to organise my projects and in this case I have:
