Todoist reddit5/18/2023 It's a bit complicated to setup at first, but once it's setup, it works great.ĭue dates are set as actual due dates. I'll set a label on that task that tells the filter to show me that task starting Tuesday, March 28. Using labels along with due dates and filters, we can tell Todoist to show the tasks that we need to start (or continue) working on today.įor example, I may have a task that's due on Tuesday, April 4, but I need to start working on it a week ahead of time. Hence the need for start dates so the task shows up in our working lists when we should start working on them rather than when they're due, when it's too late to start working on them. But of course, a lot of tasks are long or complicated enough to require that we start working on them before the due date. My tasks include due dates (most of them) that are set to the actual due dates, the date that I want to have the task completed. Years ago, before RTM had start dates, there was a thing called Sleeper Tags that was used to simulate start dates and it worked pretty well. When looking for a new platform, I settled on Todoist, but it was a difficult decision because of the lack of start dates. I came to Todoist from RTM where start dates are a thing (I'm not recommending RTM, by the way) and I was an avid user of start dates. I'm still hoping that Todoist will implement start dates at some point, but until that happens, here's a way to simulate them.įor most Todoist users, this is not going to be revolutionary, but perhaps it'll help some. So I thought I'd share how I do start dates in Todoist. I thought I'd seen something similar in this subreddit before, but now I can't find it.
