Now that we can see the problem statements, I need a list of requirements for my next program or platform in order to mitigate the original pain points. The system was overwhelmingly overcomplicated and I needed a way to distinguish between notes and tasks. Everything got disorganized whenever I got excited about something new and needed a place to just dump information and inspiration, but would not necessarily fit into a task card. Todoist is a checkbox/checklist oriented system (as opposed to cards/kanban with Trello or Jira) so all of my notes were just being treated like checkboxes. I had highly complex criteria in terms of where to keep each task in which column of my boards, and not being able to link specific tasks to other related tasks I had so many lists broken up into all of my micro and niche work/personal/business projects However, after looking at the over 300 outstanding “to do” tasks and cards on my platform, I was beginning to feel frustrated at the unnecessary complexity of my self-imposed system. Automation Automation is a key feature to look out for when considering a project management app. While Todoist offers a simple design that makes the app easy to use, Notion offers more features. I use it to prioritize tasks, collect inspiration, and aggregate information I need for my job, clients, general life stuff, and all of my other fun projects.įor a long time, I wanted to have one major program/app to house all of my projects/to-dos, etcetera. Both Todoist and Notion offer features that make them the perfect apps for project management. For the past 8 years, I have been using Todoist as my main application to track everything in my life.
