gerdiscover.blogg.se - Todoist and notion integration

Also, I discovered a way that works for me to organize notion project task lists in todoist: I have a todoist project called "notion." Every time I have a new notion project, I just put a new task (with the notion project name) in this todoist project.When I click the template, a todoist embed comes up at the top of my project page (the embed is so seamless, it looks like it is a part of notion) - I can even drag and drop notion task lists into todoist and they become todoist tasks! So, the relational database feature no longer became a big factor for staying with notion for task management (I could essentially do the same thing with a todoist embed). I simply made project templates with todoist embedded within them. In terms of the relational database feature, I discovered that I can do almost the same thing with todoist.I don't need long descriptions for 99% of my tasks - I just thought it was so cool I could do that with notion - but, in actuality, I don't really use extended descriptions for tasks very often (just for projects).Here are some discoveries I made that tipped my scales to todoist:

you can't make subtasks or comments when you create a task (very frustrating to me) - you have to go back to the task to do thisĪfter some time waffling, I decided that the strengths of using todoist as a task manager (alongside notion for information and project management) beat out using notion as a task manager.

very light-weight, fast, and available everywhere.

difficult to get emails in task manager.

Relational databases - it's great to relate my project and note databases - this keeps everything organized.

the extensive comment/description area for tasks - I can put 10 pictures, a database, and write a book in a task - it's so luxurious!.

When used for task management, they each have strengths and things that frustrate me: Todoist and notion are both fantastic programs. Here's my reasoning for using todoist for task management now.

I just wanted to share my reasons and analysis with this forum to get other opinions about this issue.

I waffled back and forth a few times, but now I finally (I think finally) switched to todoist for task management. However, since discovering notion, I moved all my task management to notion and abandoned todoist (again, about 1.5 years ago).Īs powerful as notion is, in the last few months I started experimenting with using todoist for task management again (and just using notion for information and project management). Here's a brief history: I used todoist extensively before I started using notion (about 1.5 years ago). I just thought I would share my thoughts and recent decisions about using notion and todoist together.
