Episode 61 - Do you keep your tasks on a post-it note? Or are you happy using technology? We look at how "todoist" can help a range of people across a variety of situations. (Warning - episode features multiple references to Findus Crispy Pancakes.)

Look at all this stuff we covered:



  • Amir's story - the brains behind todoist
  • How a 'rootless' upbringing seems to have resulted in a great business ethos
  • If you're using pen and paper what could an app like todoist do for you?
  • Freeing up your mental space
  • Keeping track of what you've got on
  • Introducing the 3 levels we're going to explore:
  • Wanda - who doesn't like technology and has simple needs
  • Emma - with a more sophisticated life, Emma has a need for something more structured to help her manage lots of variety
  • Theresa - a full project and team manager who has complex needs
  • Why I converted to todoist
  • Level 1 (Wanda)
  • Creating a shopping list
  • Using Alexa - (if you have one, you might wanna turn it off while you're listening)
  • Sharing lists with people (unless you've bought fungal foot powder)
  • Setting up folders for her other stuff
  • Setting up tasks for future activity - cutting the grass
  • Recurring tasks - recycling and cuddles
  • Using todoist's amazing 'Natural Language' to easily set tasks up
  • The tasks we created looked like this:
  • "Alexa - add Findus Crispy Pancakes to my shopping list"
  • "Cut the grass on Saturday"
  • "Take the recycling bins out every other Thursday at 7pm"
  • "Cuddle my partner every other Wednesday" (perhaps don't do this)
  • How todoist uses this natural language to put everything exactly where you need it, ready for action
  • Using your inbox as your master list (this is level 1 don't forget)
  • How all this can give Wanda (and you) clarity of mind
  • Letting you try this all out before we move onto Level 2 in the next episode where we'll meet Emma
