I even keep a project called Troubleshooting, because there have been many times that I simply can’t get stuff done because I’m troubleshooting problems with my computer, a client, or general life issues And I find it helpful to see the progress I’m making a daily basis.

The system ratings are sort of arbitrary, and as Tony Marin, who has a series of useful YouTube videos about Todoist, says, there’s no point of users comparing their karma points with other users, because some users break down tasks into smaller steps than others. I’m not so much motivated by karma points as I am by completing the tasks I listed to get done. By the end of this week, I should be moving into the Intermediate level. In Todoist you start as a Beginner and quickly move to Novice after getting assigned 500 points. Karma is based on what is called a gamified system that rewards users for meeting their goals. So a feature can sometimes be a motivator to complete tasks. I also tend to put off tasks that are the most challenging and time consuming. It’s often easy for me to get absorbed in a new piece of software, browse Twitter, or what typically happens, I try to multitask and end up not getting as much done as I should. You see, my challenge is staying focused throughout the day. You can set Karma to not record on certain days, like the weekend or holidays, or when you’re on vacation. I have those tasks set at 8 and 40 respectively, but those numbers will increase over the next few weeks. You can set goals in Karma for how many daily and weekly tasks you want to get done. And I also need strive to get my list to zero uncompleted tasks. The color coding is essential, because I need to make sure that red and turquoise are showing up on most days.

But what I like about Todoist in this regard is its clean user interface, for the Mac and iOS versions. There’s simply no clutter with Todoist. Like other task managers, including Informant, Wunderlist, and OminiFocus, Todoist of course allows for inputting tasks, setting due dates and reminders, and filtering by labels (tags) and projects. But briefly, I switched to yet another task management system because I need get to shit down and stay focused. This article is not a formal review Todoist, because there are several good reviews and tutorials (for example, this one for beginners) already published about the program. More about this reporting feature later, but there are several other reasons I switched to Todoist. But last week, I came across Todoist again, and after checking a few reviews of it, I realized that Todoist included a perfect solution for reporting on what I’m getting done from day to day. If you follow this blog, you might remember that I switched to the task manager, Informant a few months ago, and I also automated features in that application. When you have an application that you use regularly, if you’re Mac automator you can’t help not automating and hacking the heck out of that application. And that’s exactly what I’ve done after just a few days of using the task manager application, Todoist (affiliate link.)
