I define the priorities flags in conjunction with the Eisenhower Matrix. Red flag = Urgent and Important; Yellow flag = Important, but not urgent; Blue flag = Urgent, but not important; Transparent flag = Not urgent and not important

Hi, nice to know you are updating Notion Course. Please make it more affordable. I feel you can also bring it to Skillshare or Udemy. Don’t worry, you may not lose much because of volume.
Hi Muruli, thanks for the feedback, can you pop me an email: francesco@keepproductive dot com- I'd love your feedback directly, I'm all ears. Francesco :-)
Me: I hope there's a lot of ado Francesco: I'll also touch on near the end the notion side of stuff and how I use that but without further ado guys. Me: Damnit.
Thanks for all your videos they have helped me a lot! I use asana and considering moving to todist but when I started todoist I noticed one thing is missing. There is no description box for tasks. You have task title and you can add comments. Am I missing something? I feel every project/task I start should have an area for general text with details. Maybe it's not available in the free trial?
Hi Saleh, Thanks for the comment. I really started using GTD about 6 years ago and slowly filtered it and took the stuff I liked (eg. capturing, 2-minute rule, next action stacking and context (in some areas) - almost cherry picking what I liked. So you can say GTD is alive a little in my Todoist but not rigid, but I believe it is an amazing way to get organized and productivity for anyone. Thanks for the constructive comment :-) Francesco :-)
hey Francesco, you mentioned some Tim Ferriss reading/watching you did about focusing on 3-4 tasks that move the needle vs small ones. Can you point us at that material? Would also like to get some inspiration in that direction
Thanks for the video, Francesco. I liked the iPhone camera. I'll put this into work on todoist. I've tried with notes of Google, OneNote & Notes from Apple, but I always got problems. Hopefully this will work :D
I always love this kind of workflow videos. What I learned this time: It starts with notes, then tasks into actions. I really think an app with notes and task manager, in one app, will help. Any thoughts?
Why thank you Laurensius, I'm glad you liked it. Yes, deconstructing what to do. I'm not as sure there, I do think when Todoist add more note/comment abilities things will get so much better - but I'd have to see it to believe it. I'm planning to review more note-based apps with task abilities. But look at apps like Gooba that are slow growing right now :/ Francesco :-)
A good question. Right now I don’t have a folder for this. I snooze emails and tend to add follow-up notes as tasks, like with next actions in GTD, but no waiting area... I don’t work with my colleagues - to note.
Hey, thanks for the video! I'm really loving your content. I have a question. My mind is always coming up with new ideas. I capture those ideas and move on with my day, but that results in having a huge inbox every time I go to tackle it, and I almost never actually get it empty before it's time to move on. This keeps me from doing a weekly review because even in only one week my system has inflated massively. What do you suggest as a way to rein this in? A lot of the things I think of and write down are what I call "protocols" which are just better or different ways to do what I'm already doing. So I have a whole tag for just that. But those aren't really actionable. I can't check them off a list. Do you have any tips for how to handle this?
@@toolfinderhq That would be awesome! - also, a challenge I get with Todoist is I plan several tasks, then an emergency happens that I have to address the following day my "today" shows all the overdue items as well as the tasks from that day - should the emergency last days, it becomes unmanageable very quickly
organize - group & Prioritize Prioritize Prioritize, - date specific and not date specific - get down to the 4 to 8 tasks that you would like to get per day - otherwise you drown in the sea
@@robmayerMBA Agreed, but how would you separate tasks that have a real todo date vs tasks you hope to do that day in Todoist? - in OmniFocus I used to use a start date for the latter and a due date for the former, but then it became too easy to just keep changing the start date and the important stuff didn't get done, hmm.

Great question Arshad! I'll probably have to bring someone on to do this, agile is possible inside of Todoist, but traditionally you'd use a project management software. I'll have a look and get back to you. Francesco :-)
Love you channel. lots of sweet tips. Have you tried the NIRVANA hq app might be the best multi platform task app out there. Similar to "Things" and few more functions then todoist, thoughts?. One feature that I love is the “next” action Thanks for your videos, and look forward to your response.

This is useful :-) Will pin.
Francesco :-)
Me too, doing exactly the same way with flags:)
Having your A-roll inside a phone is GENIUS.
:-) Let's see aha. It was SOOOOO much easier to edit aha. Cheers Jackson.

It's nice but maybe go to an iPhone X mock up and see if you can keep your head lined up with the notch 😂
Hmmm, I would need an X for that :-/ But agree, would look dope!
Francesco :-)
Maybe you need to put your lighting in front of your face so the background doesn't blow out like that. Like the Art of Photography channel did
Bro you are genious. Like a pro nerd ninja. Really appreciate your channel. THANKYOU!

Hello
Thanks for the video
I noticed that you don't use GTD method on Todoist. Any philosophy behind this?
Thanks again for your great videos

Thanks for the video. I'm still figuring out which Todo application to go with & this helps.
Thanks for the comment Saurabh, glad it did.

Wonderful Video! Could you please share the tool of “you in the iPhone”?
Thanks for the video, Francesco. I liked the iPhone camera. I'll put this into work on todoist. I've tried with notes of Google, OneNote & Notes from Apple, but I always got problems. Hopefully this will work :D
Glad this helped ! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I'm wanting to start using todoist once I start my PhD in September. Any recommendations for a beginner. Just subscribed, great video😊

How do you categorize tasks with priorities. I mean what is red yellow and blue mean??
How do you keep track of delegated/waiting stuff?
A good question. Right now I don’t have a folder for this. I snooze emails and tend to add follow-up notes as tasks, like with next actions in GTD, but no waiting area... I don’t work with my colleagues - to note.
The simplification is a good move, I found too much stuff distracts. Less is more....
Yes, I agree. It's helped me massively - I now focus less on the task and more on doing it. Less is more right now, thanks George.
Francesco :-)

We can add this to our Q&A next month :-)

Hmm, I have 500+ tasks. Any advise how to organise something like that? :)
Good question, can I answer this one on an upcoming podcast? I'd love to address this longer tail.
Francesco :-)

I see you don't use times, i don't too, that way its a more flexible structure to the day,
Great video! Thanks! I'm a new todoist user!
Btw, What's the other app you open during the video?
Good to hear, let me know how you get on Tiago.
I'm using Camtasia - it's really easy and been with it for 2+ years now! :-)

Oh, doh Cem, yes it's Notion.

Hi. Would you be able to suggest a way to have getting result the agile way method on todoist or ticktic? It would be a great help.
Great question Arshad!
I'll probably have to bring someone on to do this, agile is possible inside of Todoist, but traditionally you'd use a project management software. I'll have a look and get back to you.
Francesco :-)
Love you channel. lots of sweet tips. Have you tried the NIRVANA hq app might be the best multi platform task app out there. Similar to "Things" and few more functions then todoist, thoughts?. One feature that I love is the “next” action
Thanks for your videos, and look forward to your response.
