So, I figured out how to maximize the Todoist’s features to follow the basic ideas of GTD. I needed a way to properly prioritize tasks in order to ensure that I was focused on the right things at the right times. I was throwing everything onto that list. When I first started using Todoist for GTD, I found that the number of items in my “Do Next” list got completely out of control. The more things like this happened, I found myself completely disregarding the task-based calendar items, so I decided to stop following this practice and figure out a system that would work better for me. ![]() This threw off my entire schedule for the day and caused me to have to reschedule a number of other tasks. That amount of time should have been fine, but as I was working on the task, it morphed into something much bigger and took me something like 4-6 hours. For example, one time I blocked off an hour on my calendar for a certain task. Or I’d get frustrated with myself if I inaccurately estimated the time a task would take. I’d get frustrated with people they interrupted me and caused my schedule to get thrown off. I tried this for a while and found myself getting frustrated. I’ll admit that I’m not good with the GTD method of blocking off time on my calendar for actionable items. When I process the Inbox, I assign the task and label as appropriate.įull disclosure: I do not follow this GTD practice.
