I have tried out all task managers from Asana, Astrid, Remember The Milk, Toodledo etc etc and Todoist is the best I have come across. Stunning and powerful.

[MsDare]

I really like your channel, because you speak simple English, simple and clear instructions. thank you.

Steve, You've said it so well!! Determining the best choice for a task management app was a bit daunting and took me innumerable hours of homework before I "pulled the trigger." I am new to mac and by no-stretch-of-the-imagination a techie! I've fallen head over heels for mac and hope to use it optimally. My work and home life are exhaustive with tasks and projects and the plan is to ditch the cumbersome backpack and go paperless. So, I downloaded Evernote, taskclone, and todoist on my macbook air and android. Completely overwhelmed, but your videos have been invaluable! Thank you!!

Wow.. When I watch Steve's videos, things start to make sense..Very concise information in an easy to understand format. I'm planning on using Todoist but I wanted to watch a few videos about it first. after watching Steve's video, I am sure Todois is for me.. Thanks

[JohnnysComedy]

Watched this video and 1 minute after it was over I downloaded Todoist. Used it just 1 day and then purchased a year subscription. The best to-do / task manager app available. Trust me because I have crazy ADHD and I'm always looking for the best task manager app. I've tried them all and Todoist is King.

Steve... Your killing me! You got me into Asana not even a month ago! (Although Producteev I just recently discovered is almost identical and much nicer iOS applications.

But, I use Gmail for everything and am likely going to use this (ToDoist) as my personal todo list now (thanks to you)!

[nicksmith]

Steve, been using todoist for about 3 moths which really helps me. I tend to and new items by using the email function where you forward the email to a certain email, address and this puts the email into your todoist inbox.

[vladkostin]

What I like the most is an ablity to store web links as tasks.

[EduardoCarrilloNET]

I've been using Todoist for well over a year and its Gmail integration is indeed very sweet. Instead of keeping those action mails in the inbox, I just create a task in Todoist and then archive the mail. 

While I agree that the mail integration is superb, we also must recognize the other awesome features it has. Tasks can be assigned to projects - and this is very straightfoward. Better still, tasks can be nested and assigned a priority flag between 1 and 4. Even better yet, projects can also be nested and color coded. And if that isn't enough, Todoist brings out the organic cohesion by allowing users to use tags. This means that if you search by tag, all tasks, regardless of project, show up.

Perhaps one of the most powerful features are reminders and recursive reminders. It has the usual calendar and hour interface and one can also use real language to setup up recurisve reminders.

In many ways what Evernote is for notes, Todoist is for task lists. It's simple to use, packs a bucket load of power under the hood and at the same time is flexible to any use case. Yeah, it works great as an extension for Gmail, but it can also be so many other things - it really comes down to how one wants to use it - just like Evernote!

Maybe some future videos to spotlight other Todoist functions? Just sayin'  :-)

Thanks Steve Dotto you'll never know how much your insight is helping my productivity! Your boomerang tip tip has me speechless as I love it, todoist is next!

[bobyates]

As always, Steve cuts through the BS and provides easy to understand info & guidance that really helps. Thanks for your efforts, Steve.

[JohnMarshall-ycvt]

The more I use Todoist, the more I love it. It has become my go to task manager because it is everywhere I need it. It's also a Card in CloudMagic, which makes adding tasks to Todoist as simple as clicking an icon. Boom. Done. 

[patricklydon]

Very well done.  You get the best information for viewers in the shortest amount of time.  You are a gifted educator.  Thanks.

[robertatherton]

Really neat tool and love it already. You are right about the integration with Gmail, that is a real bonus for me. Thanks for the overview, Rob

[evigneault]

You're doing a great job, Steve, many thanks. Your videos are useful, right to the point, and very important, they help make wise decisions.

[paulwolbert]

Two thumbs

Started with the product two days ago.... It is a must have .... Thanks for the intro

[kurtmichaelson]

Great video, sir! I've recently started implementing much of my pastoral work through the Google platform. Your videos have been very helpful for me to integrate ToDoist and Boomerang Calendar in my Gmail. Thank you!

[jpdizzel]

Great videos man! You seem really excited to about your pod casts. Learned a thing or two I had never knew about. You the man.

[cocteaufan]

As you said at the start Steve this is a busy space and Todoist falls at the first hurdle for me. You cannot add attachments on the free version and there's quite a few limitations on the free version.

When there are so many others out there that give you so much more for free i'm afraid Todoist isn't going to cut it for me.

Currently playing with Wunderlist, Asana, Trello and Producteev - all are well specified even on the free versions. I like them all but think Producteev and Trello will be seeing the most use from me.

Always look forward to your videos :)

[BrianKurtzRealtor]

Just got this and went right to your video to figure out how to use it.
