Todoist is a flexible tool with a lot of more or less hidden features. Here is a list of Todoist tips, possibly with a bunch of things you didn’t know was possible in Todoist.

Todoist tips no 4: Work with multiple tasks You can select multiple tasks by holding down the Shift or Ctrl key in Windows. By using the menu at the top, you can change projects, date and priority. From the More menu, you can also duplicate, archive, delete or change labels (contexts). It turns out that using an asterisk in Todoist can lead to some interesting results! By mistake, I found out when automatically importing a task from Slack to Todoist via Zapier (that’s another post for another time!) that having an asterisk, “.”, at the start of your task did something interesting. By having that asterisk there, it essentially made a task that could not be completed! You can also assign the task to one of your preexisting Todoist tasks (not shown). Tasks are saved in the Todoist app on your device with the page URL embedded into the text. Some other nifty details of this shortcut: Tasks are assigned a due date of today unless you’re running the shortcut after 9:00p local time, in which case it. Why Todoist Is the Task Management Tool I Most Recommend.
