Todoist, an awesome to-do list app
Saturday, June 16, 2007

I get a lot of people asking me: "Guy, how do you managed to be so organised, disciplined and reliable?" Along with GIANT LIZARDS, this is one of the classic signs that I've had another psychotic break and am hallucinating again.



But simply in gratitude for occasionally being organised enough to leave the house fully-clothed, I must reccomend Todoist. It's a truly ace to do list manager that's become a firm favourite of everyone I've introduced it to (like Roo for instance, even if that was rather passive on my part) for one simple reason:

Indenting.

Todoist isn't particularly feature-rich compared to something like Remember The Milk - there's a ton of stuff they could add to make it rock even harder - but the sheer ease with which you can break things down into projects, tasks, sub-tasks, sub-sub-tasks (ad infinitum) makes it a powerful and flexible tool. You can happily combine stuff like "Cure cancer" and "Comb hair" in the same list, and break things down to the appropriate level of detail. Seriously, give it a go, because it kicks the ass of everything else out there.

I've been meaning to blog about this for a week now, since I read about it here. In fact, writing about it is itself an action item in my Todoist list. sigh

I like the fact it has an API (though I have not tried it yet, just having one is cool), the recurring events and the power-user-oriented keyboard shortcutty stuff.

(And thanks for the pointer; passivity and serendipity is what it's all about, right?)
