Haha, me too. I avoided it even though building a todo list is a right of passage.
The main thing most task or calendar apps have failed on for me is when tasks and calendars are completely unaware of the other.
It’s fair that all software has an origin story and resulting product arc, and solves a problem in a certain way. Still, a calendar that integrated tasks and calendar well is elusive.
Honestly, trying the app is the best way as another post has said. The author may still be pretty accessible, I still remember my interactions with him I becoming a customer.
My belief is everything is a todo. Including calendar bookings. It becomes a task when it’s scheduled and completed. From a calendar view when you check a task becomes the date and time it would have been listed on a. Calendar.
Happy to chat offline, maybe there’s something here now.
I don’t know if it’s an instinct thing. Entering thousands of tasks and completing them in lots of different apps helps though. I get the feeling I may not be the only one who’s tried to find something.
DateBk6’s todo feature was a little sublime, and configurable.
If you had a task today you didn’t complete it would push over until tomorrow. This was entirely uncommon. It could be placed at the top of the list the next day, etc.
Practicing GTD to DateBk6 remains the most productive combo I’ve ever used. Android, iPhone, Windows mobile has never come close. Too many taps ands magical pageantry filled gestures just to open an app and add a task. With palm it was just a button. I had set mine to press was fn+Calendar.
Maybe someone can built a phone case with a few shortcut buttons on it. For a while I used an Android app that detected fingerprints on the back. Different finger to launch different apps was handy.
Todos without a date could be just batched/contextualized work you have to do, gtd style during a time block. For example longer emails.
There is an app called Motion you may have seen ads for that is starting to do some interesting things in this area.
Another app that is really decent is 2Do.
