In this video, I'm going to show you how to use Todoist
0:03
So if you don't know what Todoist is, it's basically a powerful task management app
0:09
So if you're a student or professional, or if you just want to be organized, then Todoist is a
0:15
really good app where you can be organized and increase your productivity
0:19
So this video is going to be a step-by-step tutorial on how it works
0:24
So let's get started. I'm going to show you how to use it on your laptop, but you can follow the same steps and
0:30
download the app on your phone as well. So the first thing we have to do is download Todoist and create an account
0:39
First, just go to your browser and search Todoist download. After that, just click on the first link that says downloads
0:50
Then scroll down here, based on your device, just select the option and then click on
0:56
download. So once it's downloaded and you've installed it, you'll reach this page over here
1:03
And here you have two options to log in if you already have an account or else you'll have to
1:08
sign up. So I'll just click on sign up. It'll take you to the browser and you'll just have to enter your details over here
1:17
Again, here, you can continue with Google, Facebook or Apple, or otherwise just enter
1:23
your email ID and password. So I'll continue with Google and then just select my email ID
1:35
So now we've logged in and to open Todoist, just click on this option
1:40
And now as you can see, the app has opened and on the top right, you can see the account
1:45
with which you've logged in. So one thing which is really good with Todoist is that every change you make gets synced to
1:53
your account. So now if I download it on my phone, I'll see the exact same changes on my phone as well
2:00
So let's go ahead and download it. So now I'll just click on the first link that says download
2:04
So now if I download it on my phone, I'll see the exact same changes on my phone as well
2:10
So now that everything is set up, I'll first just give an overview of the dashboard
2:15
So on the left, you have different pages. First is inbox, then all the tasks for today
2:22
And after that, you can see the upcoming tasks, which is like a calendar
2:27
Then after that, you can click on the plus button to add a task
2:31
And if you want to go through settings, just click on this icon, your profile picture
2:37
And then from here, you can reach settings or also change the theme if you want
2:43
So the first thing I'll show you is creating a project and then adding tasks to that project
2:50
So project is basically a large topic within which you can add tasks
2:55
So usually I like keeping fewer number of projects, just like work, then studying and
3:01
a few more, but again, this is personal and up to you. So to add a project, you need to click on the plus button that's written next to projects
3:11
Then here you can add the name. So I can call this work. After that, I can select a color
3:17
So all the tasks related to this project will be given this color
3:21
Then the workspace for now, just keep personal because you can have teams and
3:26
collaborate, but for now we'll just leave it personal. And after that you can decide a view
3:33
So there are two ways of seeing this. One is like a list and the other is a board and you can see the difference
3:40
I personally prefer the board. So I'll select that and then I'll just click on add
3:46
So now as you can see, this project is created and within this project, I can create
3:51
new sections and add tasks under each section. So now I'll add the first section
3:57
Let's say I call it meetings. Then I can click on add section
4:03
The same way I can add more sections by just selecting add section that's written
4:08
over here. I'll quickly add a couple of more. So following the same method, I've added three sections and now under each section, you can
4:16
add a task. So before I show you how to add a task, I'll quickly show you some options that are related
4:23
to projects and sections. So for each section, if you click on the three dots, then you can edit the section, move
4:31
it, archive it, and so on. So I'll click on edit. So for each section, if you click on the three dots, then you can edit the section, move
4:40
it, archive it. You've many options over here. After that, if you want to share the project with others, you can do that as well
4:49
Just click on share that's written on the top right here. And then you can enter the email IDs and then invite them
4:59
After that, you can change the view. So earlier how we selected board view, we can change that to a list view
5:06
So just click on view. And now, as you can see, we have different options of the layout and how we want to sort it
5:14
So this is pretty much how projects work. And now let's move on to the next thing
5:18
And that's adding tasks. So there are two ways to add a task
5:22
First, you can add it in a project or in a section. And the second way is if you just want to add it to your inbox
5:30
So if it doesn't come under any project, you can just add it to your inbox by clicking on
5:35
this plus button over here. So I'll show you both of them
5:40
First, I'll show you how to add one in a project. So currently I'm in the project of work and let's say under meetings, I want to add a task
5:50
I'll just click on the plus button over here and now I can add details about the task
5:55
So first the name. So here I've called it meeting with team
5:59
And something that's really cool is by just adding the date or the day, it'll automatically
6:05
add it to your calendar. So what I mean is if I say meeting with team in three days, as you can see, it's gotten
6:14
highlighted and the due date has changed to Sunday. So the same way you can type different things
6:21
So I can change this to meeting with team on 10th September
6:27
And again, that's changed. Or if I want to say meeting with team on every weekday, as you can see it's showing today
6:37
and you'll see this task in your calendar every day. After this, if you want to manually enter a date, you can just click on this option
6:45
set due date. And here you've all different options. There's a calendar and they have some default options on top
6:52
So you can select one of them from here. After that, they have a concept of priority
6:57
So you can prioritize all of your tasks. If you click on this flag, as you can see, they have options like P1, P2, P3, P4
7:07
So if this is top priority, I can just select priority one
7:11
And now when I save this task, it'll be given this red flag
7:15
Then there's another way to add a priority and that's in the task name
7:20
So the way we wrote every weekday, I can just add P1 over here
7:24
And as you can see, the priority has changed to P1. So now every time you're typing in a task, you can add the date and the priority in the heading
7:34
And now once it's done, just click on save. And here, as you can see, the task has come under meetings
7:42
So the same way you can add tasks for the sections. So the same way you can add tasks for the sections
7:50
Now I'll quickly show you how to add tasks in general. It's extremely similar
7:55
Just click on the plus button on top. Then the same way you can add a name, the due date and priority
8:05
So here I've said, go to the gym today evening and added P2
8:10
So now for the due date, it's put 7pm and the priority has become P2
8:16
But now we need to decide where we want to save it. So to do this, just click on this option that's here
8:24
And now I can see all the different places where I want to save it
8:28
So as of now, I only have one project and I do want to save it here
8:33
So I can put it in the inbox and then click on add task
8:38
So now if I go to my inbox, as you can see, the task has come here
8:43
So the inbox is the place where you just add tasks, which are on your mind, and
8:48
later you can shift them to projects. So it's very simple to move a task from the inbox to a project
8:55
Just click on the three dots over here. And after that, click on move to project that's written over here
9:04
Then you can decide where you want to move it. So let's say in the project work, I want to move it to others
9:10
I can select that. And as you can see, it's disappeared from my inbox
9:15
But if I go to work under others, go to the gym has come
9:21
So this is basically how to add tasks. And now I'll quickly show you some settings related to tasks
9:27
So if you click on a task first, you can add sub tasks. So if I want to add, buy banana before gym, then I can type it here and click on add task
9:38
And as you can see, this has become a sub task. After that, if you click on the three dots next to the task, you have many options
9:47
First, you can edit it. Then you can change the due date
9:51
So they have some default options like tomorrow or over the weekend
9:55
After that, you can change the date. You can also edit the date. So you can edit the date
9:59
You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date
10:03
You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date
10:07
You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date
10:11
You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date
10:15
You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date
10:19
You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date. You can edit the date
10:23
You can edit the date. Then if I go to upcoming, this is my calendar and here I can see my tasks for the next week, month
10:33
You can change the view. So over here for tomorrow, it's again showing meeting with team
10:38
This is because we set this to every weekday. So here you can see the tasks for each week and you can change the week by clicking on
10:47
next that's in the top right over here. So this is basically how Todoist works and if you want to know how to link your tasks
10:58
in Todoist to Google Calendar, there's a method to do that as well and I'll show you how to
11:03
do that in the next video. So that's it for today. Goodbye
