Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Haha. That's awesome. If you ever have any questions about Todoist, don't hesitate to ask. Happy to make a video walking through something on it if it's something I know.

I use a @someday label for tasks that I want to perhaps do one day. Since I don't want those tasks to show up in other filters, I use !@someday to make sure those do not show in those filters. I then have a filter that only shows me tasks with @someday and I usually review it 1-2 months just to see if there is anything I do want to work on or decide I don't want to anymore. Hope that helps!

🤣 LOL. Yeah, I totally understand it's overkill, but it's what works for me. Over time I've just learned that having more filters with less tasks is what keeps me from feeling less stressed.

Thank you so much for telling me! This is helpful for me to know. I'm adding this idea to my list.

Thank you! And you just reminded me to make a video on how I use Drafts. I'm definitely not a power user of that app, but want to share how I use it for people who aren't aware it even exists. Such a great app. Thanks for your time watching!

@ I don’t care about power users because I won’t be a power user. I’m interested how “normal” users use the app because that will be much closer to how I use the app (also why I like your Todoist videos).

Awesome! It's been added to my list of videos to make.

That's a great question! I didn't think about checking for recurring deadlines when I hit record. I just checked and it doesn't seem to do recurring dates for deadlines. It's a shame cause your use case is something I could use as well.

I'm using todoist for 10+ yrs and have all 11 cards as a seperate list. I have set 5days prior due date for each card (recurring date rage) never have missed a single payment

Nice! What is BuJo? Is that bullet journaling or am I way off?

@@_AnthonyGauna Yea, Bullet Journal.

I think my thought behind it was that the Mac and iPhone sync focus modes. But honestly, you make a great point. I'll update the title. Thanks for bringing that up! 👍

You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful.

I've tried so many todo list apps and kept coming back to Todoist. It took me trying so many apps to realize how customizable it is while the others are so rigid. And thank you so much! My hope to make videos sharing things that help me in productivity, tech, or life.

Thank you so much!!! When I knew I wanted to start a channel, I did struggle with feeling like I'm supposed to follow the typical KZbin structure. But honestly, the videos I like are simple. I figured it makes more sense to make videos that I would enjoy. So, it's nice to know that's resonating with others. Really do appreciate the kind words!

Hahaha. 🤣 Ok, so I'm glad I'm not the only one. Thought I was just crazy. 😜 Yeah, it's soooo good. I love how it's so flexible. I'm already making more tweaks to my setup. It happens every few months.

I try so hard to follow the task idea of if it can be done in 2 mins or less, do it now. More than 2 mins do it later. If it has a deadline, then I schedule it.

I'm the same way with the 2 minutes or less. Don't know why. I guess it's cause it's usually boring things I don't want to do. Lol.

I don't consider myself a power user either. Lol. I just think I'm crazy. 🤣 So glad you got something out of it. And thank you for the kind words and encouragement!

Thank you so much for letting me know! When I set out to make this specific video, I knew I wanted it to be more than the basic videos. And I also didn't want it to be too advanced where it wasn't even accessible to people. So glad something resonated with you. When you use the question mark keyboard shortcut it pulls up all their shortcuts. So if you ever forget some or you want to learn one for a thing you do a lot, it's so helpful. Reach out if you ever have a topic you'd like me to expand on. If I have any knowledge of it, I'm happy to make one.

Yeah, that was me in the beginning. Once I learned that if I didn't write something down or add an event to my calendar I would forget, I realized I needed to make sure it was as easy as possible for me to write those things down.

@@_AnthonyGauna I try 🙂 But Apple Reminders is also easy! 🙂 Why was it not an option for you?

The app is easy, but not for my brain. Lol.

First off, I appreciate your kind words and your time. Thank you for sharing this, btw. This is a great idea for another video. What I will say is that for me, it came down to not beating myself. I had to be kind to myself. I recognized that I will fall off routines from time to time and that it's ok. And when I tried out new systems and they didn't end up working for me, I tried to figure out why it didn't work for me. I had to learn from it so that I could keep iterating and creating a system that worked for me. I made this video because I wanted show that I'm not perfect and that I needed to create fake deadlines for myself in order to get work I don't want to do done. And since that video, it's been working for me. The reason I wanted to start this channel was because I wanted to share all the ways I've figured out and honestly still am figuring out how to be productive. I didn't find many channels that share realistic productivity advice. All the advice where people tell you not to do something or that it's wrong to do something a certain way, I find it unhelpful. I don't want to be an expert. I literally just want to share what's working for me in hopes it helps someone else. Keep it up! And be kind to yourself. You'll figure out what works for you with time.

​@@_AnthonyGauna Thanks so much for the response and encouragement! I’ll definitely keep an eye out for your future videos.

Thanks!

Haha. I'm glad. I know I recorded it all janky with my phone, but I wanted to just show a setup that's realistic. The tiered setup helps a tons cause it gives more space underneath while raising up the monitor. The only thing is that my speakers aren't at ear level, but I'm not serious when it comes to recording music, so it's whatever.

So glad you found it helpful and that you came across my channel. It's still very brand new. I'm working on another Todoist video so maybe that will give you more aha moments. I'll be talking through all my favorite reasons why I use the app. I've been using since about 2014 or so and I've just had a lot of time with it. And I only got my ADHD diagnosis a year ago, but since learning that, it's led me to try and use it in a way that makes sense to my brain and supports me.

Thank you! Wishing you all the best on the new chapter. KZbin has been so fun to get into. I have DaVinci resolve and have used it, but I find for what I need it's a little too much. It's overwhelming for me. Lol. I'm now using Camtasia and I think it's what I'm going to be sticking with. I've head a ton about the stream decks, but never really thought of needing or wanting to get one until you bring it up. I think that would be a helpful game-changer for video editing. Thank you so much again for subscribing. And good luck with your channel and Twitch! You'll do great!

plants

I'm too afraid to have plants on my desk because of one of my cats.

As of now, I don’t think there is a way just on the iPhone. I hope this becomes a feature one day.

Thanks! At some point I plan to do a video on my entire system. I do the same thing with sections. I use the filters almost exclusively because it helps me navigate my day or work based on how I'm feeling. Lol. It's super helpful. The one thing I don't want to do for my backlog is filter based on when a task was created. I don't want to see how long it's been since I said I was going to do something. 🤣 Also, I checked out your channel and it's great! Sort of the same vibe I'm trying to go with mine. You've got a new subscriber!

@@_AnthonyGauna sorry I'm just now seeing your reply! Yeah I hate seeing when my things were created, especially if it is one that I keep putting off haha. Appreciate you subscribing, I had sub'd to yours also. Trying to figure out this "new" journey.

@ChadEveryday It’ll be fun watching each other’s journey. Keep up the great work!

Video on that in the future!

Thank you!!!

Thank you! I'm so excited about this journey. Reach out if you ever want me to cover anything in particular.
