Hello everyone and welcome back to the keep productive YouTube channel it is
Francesco here and in today's video we're going to be diving into the todoist official update
I'm gonna be guiding you through this application
Well first start by talking about all of the new abilities and I guess some of the stuff behind the scenes
So do you guys can get my dear and get a picture of what this application?
Will be having over the next 24 hours because this is rolling out as we speak
24 hours around the globe. So as you could imagine it's gonna be focusing a lot on the
Foundations. So without further ado guys, let's dive into today's video
So guys I'm very excited to be sort of diving into this today because this is an update that
Really changes the way that to-do list is formed in my opinion
Now as you can imagine two newest has been around for a while. I've been using myself for six seven years and
I can't remember an update that was really like this in terms of the change
I remember the to do is 10 update which changed pretty much the foundations of todoist
But this reach angel in terms of upgrading them making the most ability
Focused. So let's start with the first update that they talked about which is the new sections
You can add new sections anywhere inside of your projects
And as you can see here
They're really easy to add and they're almost like the bolded sections you've had before but they don't appear as tacit their section headers
So they work in the same way that you have would say things three. So for example if I wanted to add a chocolate section
to my shopping list I can do and whenever I add a new task so for example
let's say I go to my inbox and I want to add a new task say like
You know Dairy Milk
Diary milk. I always put dairy milk bar
say I add a p3 to it and
What I traditionally do on that my macbook version of todoist is you know
Select it. Move it to a project
And as you can see what appears is a new brain of all the sections so I can choose chocolate
can go over to the chocolate area and it has been added to
The drop the tab, and obviously I could minimize this quite easily
You can see here that that pops down and pops up whenever you need to so I quite like that
Because that can be utilized. So for example here I could you know, move it to the project
In this case, I could go to the project
Which is daily and I can add it to the things to do our area there
So that's quite a neat way to begin utilizing. Your projects is a section headers now one thing I actually noticed
Whilst doing this feature is you can add section headers to your inbox
Which I was a little bit confused by but I hope this isn't a bug I guess
This is something a bonus. Say for example
You could have no articles you could begin separating your inbox a little bit out in case you wanted to filter down
certain tasks that you add in
So that's one of the things I did notice, okay
So the second major update is the task view now inside of each task you have insider todoist
Whatever view it is. You have something called an infobox
So for example if I click in this info box, you see this panel up here. I absolutely love this panel
I think it's a brilliant new addition. So inside of this panel, you can see subtasks you can see comments
You can see your activity
They're all sort of these like tabs to some extent and of course you can go in you can add subtasks to it now
What touch on subtasks in the next moment after after we talk about the task for you?
But the things you're gonna have to task for you is obviously changed to date so you can move and reschedule that
You can add a label really easily
so for example
If I wanted to add a focus on that one - could I have two labels popping out of here?
I could change the project and the priority set a reminder and even go into
Archiving and in comments via email and also copying link to task as well as showing the completed
Subtasks now that'll come important in the moment
now I previously use this area to pretty much add most of the
Subtasks and I had to do but I'm in love with the way that subtasks work
I will also say there are a few things that bother me about this is
obviously, you've got your comments and the one feature here and
You've got another comment tab here, which I guess why the annoys me but then really necessarily
Annoy me too much to not use it
I absolutely love the fact that you have this pops up and I've got more detail in my tasks
I love this car for you
And this is where it should play into future todoist features
which we'll talk about near at the end in terms of setting out down the groundwork in which way you mention a
little bit more detail
so you're probably wondering how the sub tasks work sub tasks are obviously something you've been around for a while people and
I would say myself hasn't necessarily been that warm into some tasks if I pop open
I can see all the sub tasks that I've got there but in the new tasks for you
You have your sub tasks in this lovely view here now
If I do this with this one here
You can see some tiles appear you can add labels to them and dates all the stuff you would to a relevant task
But you can also add more sub tasks to them
So as you can see here
You've got a sub task within a sub task and I can hand as many sub tasks as I like
So at there's a lot of confusion at how these are changing
I'll talk through a bit more about how they are changing in terms of a worked example near at the end
But I really liked the way that this is structured
It is allowed me to break my tasks down even further and I know a lot of people are finding
Value from now now just touching on the task view as I said
I really like this but one of the things I'm still getting used to is on the iOS
Version if I open up a tasks there
I actually have to have pretty much open up a task every time I touch one which is a little bit of a pain and
I feel that this could be even more subtle in the way that they've done this
But I guess this will play to the strengths of this application
When I begin adding more sub tasks to it now
This is definitely changing the way that I used to do is because it's it's sort of ripping
You know the task into smaller chunks and making it more manager or for me to do so
I'm really liking this new update
So one of the things on mobile is changing is a quick and ability I've mentioned is in the beta version
But you can now quick add and it obviously add all the detail things like tomorrow
Priority the actual project that you're putting it into and you can do this really fast
Clipping is so much faster
I honestly can't tell you about the reliability and speed in this
Application as well as on the mobile version
If you're quick adding you can use a new dynamic button, which is just using the plus button and dragging a task
You'll either create a task or a sub task using that button just by dragging it across this is coming soon to Android
But really looks good and is something that I will be using on the go now that I know it's there
so one of the things that I don't particularly use in this version is the
Labels, so I only have three labels
I need to utilize and more but there is now a way for you to have your own personal labels and shared labels
Allowing other team members to be able to interact with tasks that are across maybe some of the shared tasks that you have
so they have now broken that down into
shared and personal for you
Now one of the things that I want to finally note as well is the iconography
I originally was not so happy with the iconography
I don't know why I felt like for example, let's take Inbox today in next seven days
I thought the blue the green and then the purple sort of was a bit confusing
But they've really grown on me and I find them really attract and I think if you like these you should definitely comment below
with some appreciation for Alex and a team for putting this together because they look absolutely fantastic in terms of
like how they feel on the application and
especially when you're inside of this task view like that just looks gorgeous as a task queue and I'm looking forward to adding emojis and
Utilizing it even further
Now one of the final things I'll note on task view as well. I'm obsessed with tasks for you
Um is the fact that?
I'm going to be using this more and more so
The actual abilities in terms of like templates and subtasks and using them more and more often is gonna play
to this new structure
so let's go through a couple of your questions and opinions that we picked out from the two duis made simple group that maybe
You know get people for you people coming and aren at how subtasks will work
Oh, uh Arturo asks
I'm still trying to understand how subtasks will behave when the parent task is recurring
Will complete subtasks reset after the pitar parent task is completed, or do I have to repopulate?
subtasks every time as of now completing a subtasks makes it go away and that is completely right if you complete a
Subtasks in a recurring task it will go away
I sort of found a Hank to this for example
if I wanted to create a morning routine, and I set this at p3
Added it to my daily project and I said every day
That's 7 a.m
and added
The home label to if I went ahead and create that task and I went and found it in the next day
I open up this I can obviously add a few subtasks
So let's add a few subtasks here. So you could say podcast meditate books, etc
And let's say I go hide ahead and take one off. There we go. It doesn't
necessarily follow you the subtasks
But what you can do is press show completed tasks
subtasks and then fetch the previous ones you've had so you could technically
Keep that on so that you can bring the previous ones back
So this actually works as like a task. That is lineal
So for example, if you complete stuff in it, it will go into the completed area
So that's a one way that you could do it
I'm sure there's another way and I'm sure we can probably utilize that in templates
This is something I'd like to have and I definitely like to add as an addition. So Diana put hi
I'm wondering if switching to todoist foundations affects your current set-up and data. I even invite debating whether or not to join
Will it's out now, which is good, but it doesn't necessarily affect anything in your setup
Um, what I've particularly noticed is I'm much more reliant on soft-ass now now that they have this task view and I'm really enjoying it
Kahan, but can put how the pop up for her subtasks comments and past activities displays makes it much easier
See smoother to me also the colors in the interface are more attractive. I can't agree with that more as well
This is something that a lot of people fighting a lot more easier to use
So obviously you're probably wondering how this affects the bigger updates in terms of the boards that they've mentioned
they've also
Mentioned a new proposed view which is undisclosed and also new powerful sharing
This is meant to be a groundworks update now amny has posted on Twitter
Obviously in comments to people definitely not this month, it will be coming out the board view at a Kanban style view
So we're probably expecting to see that maybe
November or December but I don't necessarily
Think that's one of their pure focuses. I think they want to see the reactions to foundations because foundations is so important
but they've really gauged how foundations has worked through a lot of the comments now people like John us as sent in feedback and
Really? A lot of people are curious about the subtasks work
But in my opinion I think if you didn't use subtasks before it definitely is a lot more attractive to use them
but if you use sometimes before you
Created some rules for yourself
That worked at the time now obviously things have changed. So I guess you have to read learn how subtasks work
Maybe we'll do a little bit of a works
Well, maybe Carl will do a workshop on them because he's just so good at way that sub tasks work
But it's really a lot of people finding it. Um a little bit about sort of learning club for them at the moment
Especially in beta. Okay guys to wrap up
What I want to say is this update is absolute gold as a new user for six seven years
I have found it to be one of the best most reliable updates that they've pushed out like I am happier using todoist on
Desktop than ever like I really love this application. I think there's two things
Really?
Improved I'd say in the last week of my workflow. I've got time to spend with it because I was recovering from an operation
so the things that I say is
task view just makes being able to interact with tasks so much easier being up to add information and focus and
The subtasks just help break down tasks a lot easier than before. So I'm gonna play around with this
I'm probably using templates a lot more
Labels a little bit more and I just find this whole experience to be a really attractive
One and I'm looking forward to how they implement boards how that affects the way that I'm using it in interacting with tasks. I
just think this is
We're about to go into a new era of todoist. And I think this is the way they've places
Maybe I'm like a massive fan boy
But they have just done a marvelous job. So guys, I would love to hear your opinions in the comments below
As you can imagine this is rolling out. So it's gonna be with you in the next 24 hours
