I fire up ToDo about 20 times a day. Keep it simple with only 8 lists: Plans (projects mostly), Desk (anything computer/phone based), Family (reminders to do the fun stuff), Home (house chores), In Town (anything needed in town), Personal (mostly self improvement guff), Think (ideas that need to become more concrete) and most importantly Waiting On (where all stuff goes that is in someone else's hands).
I start in the Focus list, and will tick things off from there, but when something needs someone else to come through for me then it simply gets recategorized into the 'Waiting On' list and put it due next week. I don't really use Projects or Checklists that much ... but sympathize with calls for some sort of Checklist template where we could put pack lists, shopping lists etc. That would be good. One thing I would love is the Due Date sorting to be 'reversible' ... ie. in the Focus list the most recent stuff would be at the top, and the old stuff (that you're kind of putting off and bored of looking at) would be at the bottom. I know, I know ... it's supposed to be a good thing that the most overdue stuff hits you first ... but I bet most people are like me and find themselves continuously wading past ten or twelve things they are bored of looking at just to look at what really is pressing and needs to be done TODAY ... ! Anyway - nothing too radicle there - but that's how I work. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of garfield Sent: 23 May 2009 14:42 To: Appigo Todo Subject: [appigo-todo] What's your workflow? This isn't a post about a bug, feature request, or complaint of ToDo 2.0.1, but more of a survey of how people use it. I'm perfectly happy with ToDo - I think it's addressed every need/want/concern I have had and will have for quite a while. I don't personally enjoy the Toodledo web interface, but that's another topic. What I'd like to know is how some people use ToDo in their daily lives. Personally, I find myself living in the Focus List and feel I'm not getting the most out of this wonderful app. I haven't read Getting Things Done but I have implemented Contexts into my workflow such as Apartment, Campus, Computer, and Errands. The only tags I have are for classes yet I never find myself searching by context / tag. Instead, I just go down the list in the order of due date/time. How do you use ToDo? What has it done to help you accomplish tasks on a day-to-day basis? I'm looking for some inspiration here and an overall impression of how others use this great app. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Learn more about Todo, Notebook (notes available everywhere), and AccuFuel (fuel efficiency tracker) on Appigo's website: http://www.appigo.com/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Appigo Todo" group.
