What I really needed was something to sync the two with a lot of flexibility in how that sync would work.Įnter Pleexy. I needed Todoist to be Todoist and Trello to be Trello, not to turn one into the other. I like how I currently use both Trello and Todoist and, for me, each serves an important but different function. I know some people love it for that but it just didn’t work for me. Trello is great for the big picture but was annoying to use for daily tasks. Then I tried to use Trello’s in card checklists to replace Todoist’s tasks lists and that didn’t work for me either. This is also why I’m not excited about the news that Todoist itself now has a kind of Kanban board functionality. It works exactly as advertised and has a lot of potential… but it would involve completely changing how I use Todoist which I’m not interested in doing. First, I tried to make Todoist more Trello-like with the free Kanbanist that displays your ToDoist tasks in Kanban-like boards. There are various IFTTT integrations available that are supposed to connect the two apps but most only go one way as if you’re using one as your main tool and the other as a back-up instead of using both in tandem as I do. So why couldn’t I just sync the task lists form certain Trello cards directly to my To Do list in Todoist? What are most indivudual tasks if not pieces of a bigger project? If you’re working efficiently, every one of your daily To Dos should be a step towards completing something in the big picture. I’m happy with both (and I use the free program in both cases) but they don’t always play nicely together which seems silly as they are ideal to use in conjunction with each other. Todoist has just enough advanced features to handle the complexity of the tasks I need to tackle day by day while style being a simple enough checklist app to stay out of my way when I’m knocking things off my list.
Trello is where I collect every project on my radar, do all my long term planning and work on the overall structure of my business and my life.īut I use Todoist’s GTD (that stands for Getting Things Done which is a very aptly named productivity method) style to do lists to manage the minutiae of my life. I use Trello’s Kanban style boards to manage the big picture of my life. The two great loves of my productive life are Trello and Todoist.
