TodoistChute calculates the estimated time required to every tasks on Todoist, and shows the finish time. Enter the time in minutes as '//60' in label or text of task. It's that time of the year when I reveal my latest Todoist setup. Not much ha changed since earlier this year, but there have been some evolutions.

Using recurring and repeating tasks in Todoist is a great way to save a lot of time and to stay on top of all of your tasks that occur regularly, or at least more than once.

When setting up a task in Todoist, to make it recurring you fill out the task information as you normally would, but when it comes to the time / date field you make some small changes.

Todoist Time Duration

For example, if you want a daily reminder you would type in “every day” in the date field and it would become recurring every day (remember – every day is ever day, including weekends!). If you only want weekdays you would type in “every weekday”.

There’s lots of date formatting options that gives repeating tasks a lot of flexibility – you can find more of them here on the Todoist date formatting guide.

This is also important to know about if you are using IFTTT and Todoist – you’ll need to make sure you have your date formatting correct or you may run into some real issues.

(You can find out more about integrating IFTTT and Todoist to automate some really handy processes here: IFTTT & Todoist Gmail Automation Article)

Another area where date formatting for recurring tasks can come in handy is setting start and end dates.

As an example, let’s say you had a project with a new task that came up, but you only need reminders through the end of the week. If today was March 23 and Friday was March 25, you would type in “every day ending March 25”. You can also do this for starting dates to set up a recurring task in the future!

A lot has changed since the turn of the century twenty years ago. The average person today receives over 60 emails per day, and the number of instant messages, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Slack notifications can be overwhelming. Yet with so many new inputs and digital distractions, the way we manage all these inputs has not changed in over twenty years.

Most productivity advice recommends we organise our tasks by projects, and given the definition of a project is any task that requires two or more steps to complete, this means we now have hundreds of projects to manage. Just keeping on top of all those projects takes up a disproportionate amount of time each day, leaving us with precious little time to get on with the work we are trying organise.

There must be a better, more effective way to manage our work in 2020. Well, there is.

Introducing the Time Sector Method.

The TimeSector Method does not organise your work by project. Instead, it holds your tasks by when you are going to do them—a much more natural and intuitive way to manage your work.

If you think about it, the only thing that matters is when you will do a task. The only factor that will tell you whether you can do a task or not is available time. It does not matter how much intention, motivation or inspiration you have to complete a task; if you don’t have time to complete it you will not complete it.

When you organise by project tasks often end up in a project folder only to be lost and forgotten. With a time sector, a task can be evaluated by when you will do it and whether you have enough time to do it based on what your current priorities are. Vmix virtual set xml.

Simplicity built-in

Processing your collected tasks is simple. You only need to decide when you will do a task:

• Do you need to do it this week? Add a day you will do it and put it in this week’s sector.

• Can it wait until next week? Put it in next week’s sector.

• Are you not sure yet? Put it in this month’s sector.

• Can it wait until next month? Put it in next month’s sector.

• Does it not need doing until later in the year? Put it in your long term sector.

When you are engaged in doing work, you only need to refer to one place—this week’s sector—and focus on completing those tasks. As long as you clear out this sector by the end of the week you are getting your work done, your priorities are moving forward, and nothing is forgotten.

Built-in routines and areas of focus

There are tasks you have to perform on a daily, weekly or monthly basis that do not take your work or goals further forward—things like washing the car, taking the garbage out, paying your bills etc. With the Time Sector Method, you create a sector for your recurring routines and areas of focus, so they just come up when you need to see them, so you do not have to reorganise these every week or month.

Then there are your areas of focus, tasks that do move you towards achieving your goals and work projects. With these, you establish the critical tasks—the tasks that drive 80% of your progress—and make them recurring tasks that appear in your day view when they need to be completed.

Wait! Where do I manage my projects?

Good question. Projects are managed in your notes app. A much more logical place to manage projects. Your notes app can hold images, files, links, meeting notes, Gantt charts and progress bars. You can brainstorm ideas, review where a project is and share notes with your colleagues, so your list of tasks is not compromised by well-meaning co-workers and bosses.

As you are developing your goals and projects, you can add tasks that need doing directly to the relevant sector. As long as you are doing a short daily and weekly planning session consistently, nothing will be missed, and tasks will be completed on time.

The Time Sector Method is a productivity system fit for the twenty-first century. Designed for simplicity and created to give you more of your time back so you can get your work done on time and without the stress, overwhelm and organising older productivity systems create.
