Discussion on: Organizing my life with Todoist

I'm still figuring out what works for me. I have a bullet journal with a backlog and monthly/daily notes for what I want to get done, but usually I over burden myself. I'm usually forgetting how many sub tasks need to be done to complete one task.
I'm thinking of trying to at least block time on a calendar for each task because right now I look at my todo list and start whichever I feel like doing which means I work on certain tasks more than others and realize I didn't complete my todo list by end of day.

I feel this 😅

One of the things that I think Todoist does that is both helpful and hurtful is value every task a "1 task" - it helps with framing things as "you did in fact do things today" but it hurts by making me feel like some things shouldn't be on my list because they aren't worthy of being called a "task".

I still take notes on paper during meetings and use the bullet task shorthand of dots for tasks so I can use the > forwarded indicator to show when I added the task to Todoist :)

I use the forwarded indicator more than I probably should. 😅
