Badly chosen tools make you unproductive
Some time ago I told you about my switch from the half-baked for too long MS Todo, to Todoist.
And now, I'd like you to share my month-long experience. I didn't want to do it one week after the switch, so obviously I had to wait to share that Todoist worked wonders for my productivity!
There were times when I was so frustrated with MS Todo, that I wanted to create my own SaaS ;-) Thankfully, I did not, and managed to reap results faster than I would ;-)
Todoist is still unable to do some things that my dream SaaS would do… Things I might implement myself because Todoist gives you this possibility! Take notes, Microsoft.
Still, Todoist is a major productivity upgrade.
Why?
It improved my planning for the next day.
Gave me an additional way of querying tasks (e.g. tags that actually work without Outlook).
Gave me great tools for breaking down tasks, instead of adding useless subtasks…
If you ask me whether this issue is just to tell you I’m making progress…? Yes, it is ;-)
