I would love to see more todo lists take the weekly approach that lets you slot todos in against meetings, for two reasons.
1. When you do things on your list, they take up time. Putting them into a calendar view makes a lot of sense because you have to balance those tasks against the other time-based commitments you have (meetings, etc). When you have a separate todo list and calendar, it's difficult to get an effective view of how you're planning to spend your day.
2. I like the weekly time horizon. A day is sometimes too short to make meaningful progress, and a month is too long a time horizon to effectively plan. A week feels right - you can plan it out and make a dent in your project. But I've yet to see a todo list that lets you plan on this time horizon.
Potential ways to improve:
1. Sync with google cal to pull in my appointments
2. Show me time slots so I can plan my todos around my meetings

- bluewalt 6y agoI can't agree with you more. I never understood why calendar and todo apps are separate apps. At the time, Google Inbox tasks started to be visible in Google calendar, and it was an excellent idea IMHO. When I want to manage my day, I need to mix events and tasks. Events are not related to me, I don't need to complete them. Tasks are. But for me, both kinds of items need to be planned over the day. Currently, I'm using a todo app only, even for calendar events. It seems hacky to me, and I truly miss the calendar view, because 2-D visual representation of the time is really more understandable for my brain, than a simple list. So, for me, the perfect soft would be something like this one (I do like the minimalistic UI), but with embedded calendar.
