Progress tracking (todoist calls it Karma) seemed super silly at first, but I find myself being strangely motivated by this feature. Yes, you could argue that if you’re doing GTD, your daily/weekly reviews would make it so you don’t need the reminders, but David Allen must have never had to checkin on Southwest Airlines flights.

Todoist allows you to add as many of these as you want (well, I’ve never tried more than 2) and assign when you want to get them regardless of whether or not you have due dates assigned. These should be an added attribute to a task separate from the due/defer dates. In todoist I can create a “Filter” that looks like: batteries & p:home & & !( | & 7days which will give me tasks that contain the text “batteries” in my home project that have the context and are due in the next 7days unless they are tagged with or Silly example, but it’s very powerful way to build views of your tasks that help you focus on what you want/need to see at any given point. Perspectives that are really just saved live queries. Even websites use them almost universally. I can’t think of an app where I enter dates that doesn’t use these. Or and because I don’t really care which one I ask whatever question I have because any of them would be able to answer.Ĭalendar picker for dates. I want to be able to put and in a task because I might run into bob in the elevator before I get a chance to email him.

This works anyplace you are entering a task - not just the quick-entry popup. As said - once you use this, you can’t “unsee” it and the OF quick entry seems very much less so (unless you never ever add dates/contexts/projects there). i.e., “buy beer for poker night every 3rd tue #home_chores” to have a buy beer task that repeats every 3rd tue and gets a context of shopping and project of home_chores.

I’ll take this idea one step farther - I think Omni needs to seriously consider some of Todoist’s other features as well:
