Repeating Tasks In Todoist

You can add a recurring due date on any platform – desktop, mobile, or web – by typing it into the task field using natural language like every Monday or every other week. The smart Quick Add will automatically recognize the recurring date, highlight it, and add it when you save the task. More about recurring tasks Recurring reminders. If you need a regular reminder instead of a full-blown repeating task, set the recurring task’s duration to zero. That is, make the recurring task a milestone. Find recurring tasks. When you create a recurring task, Project automatically renumbers the task IDs and puts a recurring task indicator. Run multiple filters at the same time: Todoist filters also let you combine searches to create multiple task lists at once. To combine 2 or more searches into one filter, separate each with a comma: “,”. For example, will show two task lists, one for the query p1 & overdue and another for p4 & today. P1 & overdue, p4 & today. Remove the date, save the task, and re-add the date. Delete the task and create a new task with the same name and date. This has happened on multiple separate recurring tasks that I have and in both cases, the tasks used recurring dates with 'every!' If change those dates to 'every.' The issue seems to go away. Start and end dates for recurring tasks in Todoist Set due dates in Todoist with Smart Schedule The Smart Schedule function in Todoist is an AI-based function that helps you schedule or re-schedule your tasks. It learns over time, making better and better predictions.

When I began this project, I outlined five criteria: UI/UX design, intuitive processes for creating and maintaining tasks/projects, handling repetitive tasks easily, the ability to share tasks with others, and enough features in the free version to be fully functional.

Weighting these five aspects is difficult, since anyone utilizing this is likely to have their own needs. What I was looking for out of these apps was the ability to organize daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal routines so I would remember to do things that were both important and enjoyable to me. That means I did not want to experience limited amounts of stress operating the winning platform, and it had to handle repetitive tasks well. I am a sucker for beautiful designs, so the UI/UX was going to be important to me, though the mobile platform should be my primary focus, as these sorts of tasks are ones I handle with my phone when I step away from my formal work.

Therefore I've weight the categories as follows:

• UI/UX - 10 points
• Intuitive use patterns - 10 points
• Task repetition, calendar integration - 15 points
• Sharing tasks with others - 5 points
• Free version is capable enough - 10 points

For a total of 50 points. Here's how each platform fared, along with a brief explanation and score for each category!

Please note that in Todoist there are two recurring dates: every and every!. They are similar and the difference is how the next date is computed. For example:

• Clean fridge with due date every 3 months starting 10 April
• Clean fridge with due date every! 3 months starting 10 April

Completing every 3 months starting 10 April will result in a due date 3 months from 10. April.

Completing every! 3 months starting 10 April will result in a due date 3 months from the completion date.

Changing the due date on a todoist reoccurring task without breaking the reoccurrence:

Set Recurring Tasks In Todoist

Note little spinner for reoccurring

If a reoccurring task is due, and you want to change the due date on this instance without breaking the reoccurrence, Click on the three dots “…” And schedule

And then choose a shortcut date or use the date picker, for example, Postpone to tomorrow

Moves the due date it but doesn’t break reoccurrence

Or you can pick a date:

Reoccurrence still stays:

However if you edit the date by clicking in the date text field:

Now you are changing the “master date”/breaking the reoccurrence

For example using date picker:

Click save:

Note reoccurrence gone

Todoist Outlook 2016

So if you don’t want to break the reoccurrence, only use the … date picker, not the text field.
