This guide will give you an overview of what time blocking, task batching, and day theming are how a combination of these strategies can help you reclaim your schedule and the best way to use your calendar and task manager to start time blocking yourself. Struggle to find the time and mental space for big-picture thinking Spend too much time in “reactive mode”, responding to email and messagesīattle constant interruptions throughout the day Juggle many different projects/responsibilities (Jack Dorsey uses day theming to run two major companies at the same time) Time blocking (and its close cousins time boxing, task batching, and day theming) is a simple, yet effective way to take back control of your workday. How do you balance the necessary evils of meetings, email, team chat, and "busy work" with focused time for the things you truly care about? Since becoming a digital hermit isn’t an option for most of us, we need concrete strategies to help us focus in a world designed to distract us. If there's one thing that can be said about the modern workplace, it's this: If you don't control your schedule, it will control you. I love the app for several reasons, but the things which bothered me most years ago never remedied, so I'm keeping a keen eye out for alternatives."A 40 hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure." UX is great in some areas but what I have found lacking has remained so for many years - multiselect operations in particular. Todoist has a robust set of features hidden behind a minimal UI.

Is there an app which covers Todoist's feature lineup, but includes increased control/feature set over Google Calendar synchronization (and ideally includes more intuitive/robust multiselect operations as well)? Background

No recursion - that means no subprojects or their associated tasks included. Individual calendar instances with 1 project only. Todoist to Google Calendar instance options are:Īll Todoist projects, subprojects, tasks, subtasks on the account. With Google Calendar two-way synchronization, Todoist can create entries in a Google Calendar instance.

In Todoist, I want to be able to create Google Calendar instances within which I choose which combinations of Todoist projects and subprojects appear, so I can share relevant calendars with associated parties without having to share everything with everyone.Īccording to here, Todoist's Google Calendar integrations stagnated, and since then, I'm not what progress there's been.
