That was the before the redesign. There is no longer that option. @Daniel_bertoldo That is a hard question because only you know what works best with you. Proximo's system had a lot of fans (I was one of them) but there a lot of other systems - take your time and see what makes you feel more confortable |

Posted Oct 08, 2011 in: Advantage of using Tooledo over my regular email/calender
Score: 0
Some people have some things to do and usually leave them in their inbox and its their task list.
Some people use their calendar for organizing everything and have a lot of things in each day. The need for a task list, be it Toodledo or a paper list with all you have to do, depends on your needs, and your needs alone. If you receive a lot of emails and your inbox is always full, and you calendar is so full of things that you are missing deadlines, then you need a task list. It can be a sheet of paper that goes with you everywhere or you planning a big system with all the bells and whistles. See what is lacking in your organization and only then can you see what you need. |

In your left navigation bar, almost at the top you have the View by Calendar.

It has that issue,
when I'm with my mobile I check tasks that are starred, or tasks that have context "purchase" - that means check focus or things to buy. When I don't have anything to buy (@purchases) and have free time I always have a reading item starred that I can check on my cell. |

Hi,
what do you want from a task list? This is the first question you can ask yourself, after that create a task and see if all those fields mean anything to you. If they do then start entering your tasks, if some fields don't mean anything then disable them in the settings and enable others. Toodledo has a lot of fields but most are self-explanatory so try to enter some of your tasks and see what you can check out. If you need any thing just give a ring in the forums |

You can sort them by a million things but you can only customize the order of subtasks (Pro feature).

Score: 0
Hi,
that is a hard one. Are those planned tasks repeated from one week to the next? If yes then you can choose to repeat them weekly from the completion date - this way you don't have a due date but they appear a week after you complete them. |

That is called task dependency and its a requested feature.
I'm sure its not an easy thing to implement due to sometimes you can have more than one next action but its on the todo list. |

Score: 0
You can Organize your goals by going to the Organize tab next to Notebooks.
You then activate the Goals field in your settings, Fields/Functions Used, check the Goals. Then the goal is simply another field to fill out when entering tasks. |

Score: 0
Hello,
according with: http://www.toodledo.com/pro.php there is nothing where it says you can work with multiple emails. you can however receive Enhanced Reminders / Alarms - Receive SMS or email reminders at multiple different places. (this is a completely different thing) |

Hello everyone,
I'm a Toodledo user that has tried a lot of apps trough the years and I always keep coming back here. As I believe that we can always learn more, I am posting my semi-GTD system here in case someones finds it useful or simply to improve my system based on new ideas. I tried Proximo's system and full on GTD systems, and always left a bit empty. Why a semi-GTD system? I think GTD is great but I don't follow it to the letter. I have two distinct areas on my system (Work and Home) and any system has to incorporate both, allowing me to hide one but be a click away. Also my Work has a lot of paper with a bunch of "Put out this fire now" moments; as such my system can filter by context, but I don't use the time or energy fields. To counter this I have a Focus list, with things that are Next Actions and that I want to take care of. I don't use subtasks because it can create a bit of overhead and hide some tasks (but I am Pro and will remain so to support Toodledo). My projects can be sequential with only one Next Action, or parallel with several tasks to get done My active fields are: Star: Allows for focus Task: I focus on using verbs (for action) and placing as much info as possible Folder: These are my projects (with one or more tasks marked Next Action, and all others marked as Active) Context: Ihave the usual ones but also have @coworker or @boss1 or @boss2; for other persons I have the @Someone with the name of the person in the task Location: This allows me to filter between Work and Home Start Date Due Date: My calendar is sometimes full of meetings and I have tasks that are defined with due date, and I place them here for them not to get lost Status: I use only the status - Next Action, Active (for the tasks following the Next in Projects), Waiting, Someday and Hold (for ticklers - this status works only in tasks with a start date) Note: I try to always place links for Evernote, Dropbox or Gmail Now everything depends on searches, with the results sorted by location and then context. My searches names have the number that corresponds to the keyboard shortcut (1 is new search). The only time I leave the search view is to go to projects so I can promote a task to Next Action. Because the first sort is Location I can collapse the one that I don't need but is only one click away. 2 - Inbox: Stuff that needs processing and ticklers. My inbox can be a note program in my cell phone, a bcc email, or a previous task with a start date that needs to be processed again. Search: Checked off no AND Location is no location OR Checked off no AND Start Date is before Tomorrow 3 - Focus: Tasks that I want to get done or have a due date today (allows me to see also overdue). Daily I try to see what I have due, I check my calendar for times and I star any Next Action that I want to focus on for the day. Search: Checked off no AND Starred yes OR Due Date is before Tomorrow 4 - Next Actions: All next actions (standalone or from projects). Sequential projects just have one next action, parallel projects can have more and all appear here. Search: Checked off no AND Status is Next Action 5 - Waiting Things that I'm waiting and all have contexts Search: Checked off no AND Status is Waiting 6 - Due List of things with an end date - helpful for the weekly review Search: Checked off no AND Due Date exists 7 - Scheduled List of things with start date - for the weekly review Search: Checked off no AND Start Date exists 8 - Someday Someday list Search: Checked off no AND Status is Someday 9 - Logbook Finished tasks Search: Checked off yes I hope this helps someone and any questions just ask. If anybody in Toodledo reads this my wish list are to further improve this are: Task counts on search (in the sidebar), task dependency (with one or more Next Actions) would be good and I would really like the new search to leave from shortcut 1.

Score: 0
If you have repeat activated then it will appear on your search,
as such you can filter as Checked off - no AND Repeat - is not - None This gives you all tasks that are not completed and are set to repeat independent of schedule |

Repeating Tasks with Subtasks
If you have a task that is set to repeat and this task contains subtasks, those subtasks may or may not get carried forward depending on your settings. To have a subtask carried forward when you complete a repeating parent task, you must set the subtask to repeat in some fashion. Subtasks have an additional repeating option of "With Parent" which can be used when you only want to complete a subtask once within each occurrence of the parent task. Subtasks that do not repeat are considered to be one-time tasks that will not be carried forward when you complete the parent task. Hope it helps, you can read more here: http://www.toodledo.com/info/subtasks.php |

Hi,
an article came up in lifehack just for this issue: The 3 Step Productivity Slump Reversal http://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/the-3-step-productivity-slump-reversal.html "I’m saying it’s ok to break the rules and go with the flow of the moment, but then what? Then jump right back on that wagon with your goals set and your positive habits installed. It’s a lot easier to get back on track after life throws a curve-ball or a little marble of interruption in your day when you have your goals and habits to support you. Strive for your goals but don’t forget to be present and smell the roses every once in awhile. This will ensure that you achieve what you want to achieve as well as enjoy the journey." |

That is a strange error and its best if you can create a support ticket, so they can look inside your account and see what may be the problem:
http://www.toodledo.com/info/ticket.php Don't forget to tell them your browser, operating system and add-ons that you may have. |

Just for clarification:
you can't add a task when pressing "Add task" or when entering a Quick task, or both? What is the error report you get? |
