<\/a>2. Todoist\u2019s Key Features and Functionality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>A. Natural Language Input<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of Todoist’s most intriguing features is its natural language input. It lets you add tasks and attributes using everyday language<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, to create a new task named “Meeting with Ada” with a due date set for today at 9:30 in Todoist, simply type “Meeting with Ada tod 9:30”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use the feature to add different attributes, such as task priority levels, reminders, and even set recurring tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This form of task entry reduces the friction of clicking fields and entering information into each. In short, it helps you create tasks more quickly<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>B. Inbox, Today, and Upcoming Views<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As your to-do list grows, it gets harder to determine what to work on first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding this, Todoist provides three view useful views – “Inbox,” “Today,” and “Upcoming” – to help you organize and prioritize tasks effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take a closer look at each view:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Inbox<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Todoist<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inbox is the catch-all for new tasks that you\u2019re unsure where to organize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The premise is simple: to get the tasks out of your head and centralize them in a place for scheduling or organizing later, ensuring you don\u2019t forget any important tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Inbox is the default home for overdue tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Today<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Todoist<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tasks with due dates set for the current day will automatically appear in the “Today” view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It acts as a focused list of what needs immediate attention, helping users prioritize tasks for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Upcoming<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Tasks with due dates in the upcoming days, weeks, or months (but not for today) will show up here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Upcoming view is perfect for planning and preparing ahead to get a handle on what’s on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can navigate to any date in the future by scrolling down the to-do list or using the week picker at the top. Then, click + Add task<\/em> to create a task on a selected day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a quick comparison table among the three views:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
