Note: this setup may require the premium version of Todoist, but the IFTTT set up is free. If you don’t already have an IFTTT account, you’ll need to register for one and link your IFTTT account to your Todoist account.
Here’s how to set up the IFTTT applet for Todoist. So for example, when I complete the scheduled task, “Wash and clean out car,” IFTTT will recreate that task in a designated project, and I can later just reschedule or just check off that task when I plan to do it again. Thus, I’m using my blog space to show how to set it up, because I think it’s a powerfully useful automations for IFTTT and Todoist users.īasically, the automation consist of using an IFTTT applet that creates a new task each time a specified task is completed. The article and site for some reason have broken links and it doesn’t illustrate very well how to set up the IFTTT automation.
Problem SolvedĪ few weeks ago, I discovered an article, “ How to Create Tasks Without a Due Date,” published back in 2016. And most of all, I don’t want to manually re-input those tasks when I need to schedule them. There are some weekends when I won’t be able to wash my car or cook a pot of oatmeal, but I do want to schedule those tasks when I think they need to be done. I’ve tried setting recurring dates for some of the above tasks and I ended up postponing the dates several times or removing the recurring dates all together. No-Due-Date TasksĮxamples of my no-due-date tasks include:Īs much as I would like to schedule a particular day each week or every other week for these tasks, it simply doesn’t work out that way. So I use a few Todoist related web applets in IFTTT (If Then Then That) automates the task creation and inputting for me. However, I also don’t want to type and input tasks I perform on a regular basis. I have a few monthly tasks for sending out client invoices, and several yearly blog related tasks that must get done.īut then there are tasks that I regularly perform that I don’t want to assign a due date to because I don’t always do them every week, month, or year on a particular day or date. In Todoist, as with other task managers, you can create recurring tasks that show up in your Today list based on the recurring dates you set.įor example, I have several daily tasks for cleaning my mail inbox and writing in my journal during National Journal Writing Month.
Keep reading and I’ll explain what it is and how I use it. When it comes to using any task manager, checking off tasks is of course easy, but typing and inputting tasks sometimes is a bit tedious. But recently I started using an IFTTT automation that creates no-due-date tasks in Todoist each time I complete tasks in a specified project.
