![]() ![]() I realize that Todoist's Google Calendar integration would partially solve this issue, but 1) the integration isn't working for me (it creates the calendar but doesn't copy any tasks over) and 2) that still wouldn't solve my problem completely, because it would force me to schedule times for every single task (tedious) and would still be brittle because of fragmentation as I moved tasks around.In addition to being tedious when I do my planning, this is also brittle during the week as I shift things around, since I'm just looking at Todoist's view, so I have no way to tell at a glance which days are tighter and which days can take some more tasks. This makes it very tedious to plan out when I will do each task, since I need to copy out all the relevant tasks into a text editor or something, jot down my duration estimates for all the tasks, divvy up those tasks (evenly?) into different days, then copy those newly planned activities back into Todoist. Most importantly, Todoist doesn't allow me to track how long I've spent on tasks in the past, or how long I expect to spend on tasks in the future.(Incidentally, both of those links mention TickTick if that has all the features I need, please post an answer saying as much.) Not only do the daily and weekly views not show the parent task, but also there's no way to batch-postpone a group of related tasks in case of delays. In a similar vein, the support for subtasks in Todoist isn't great.Todoist doesn't have a view for tasks due further than one week into the future, so if I want to plan to work on tasks that are further away, I need to drop down into each of my individual projects to remember what those tasks are.However, this combination of tools is proving to be insufficient for my needs. My current strategy is to set aside time each Saturday to plan my activities for each day of the coming week, and then each day of the week I complete all the tasks I had planned on Saturday, but not in a predetermined order. Todoist to track things that are due at a specific time, as well as activities that I want to complete every day. ![]() Google Calendar to track things that take place at a specific, predetermined time. ![]()
