Welcome back! I would not call myself a “power user” but…
I setup IFTT for use with Google home/assistant and it works WONDERS for me. Total game changer to literally add tasks by voice to my inbox while I’m washing dishes or even driving! I also gave my mlo email address to my family so they email me my “HoneyDo” lists directly to my inbox. If we could get “SMS text-task” would even be better as my kids don’t use email much! I have used the calendar integration a bit but generally don’t like my calendar too clutteredSo I don’t currently use it. I find the built in mlo reminders work good enough for me. One thing I am trying currently is the pomadoro technique of using a timer for a block of time to actually “get things done”. So far I do find it helping.
