Use the following steps to properly create a task in Todoist
- Start task with ACTION VERB
- Give task priority based on Eisenhower Matrix:
- p1 = important and urgent (needs to get done before other things)
- p2 = important not urgent (should get done before other things)
- p3 = urgent not important (should get done soon, but maybe find somebody else to do?)
- p4 = not important or urgent
- Give a due date IF the task MUST get done on or before that date (give the actual due date)
- Give one of the following projects
- #PERSONAL - all tasks relating to home life; give related tags if needed:
- GOALS - related to long term or short term goals
- Areas of Focus - related to specific area of focus
- HOA
- PRODUCTIVITY
- BLOG
- TRAINING - furthering skills or knowledge (also applicable to WORK project)
- #WORK - all tasks relating to work life; give related tags:
- CORPORATE - related to company
- CONTRACT - related to customer
- #SOMEDAY - things not to lose track of, but don't need to get done anytime soon; review these weekly
- OTHER TAGS:
- @FOCUS - anything to do today
- @QUEUE - review these first for tomorrow's "focus" list during nightly review
- @waiting - need something from somebody else
- @routine - things that are done with some repetition
