In previous versions of ToDoist, this used to be nothing more than a basic list of items without any additional details. One of the most useful features you can use while creating tasks is by planning them out in great detail by adding subtasks. It’ll then appear in your list of tasks on the main page with the associated priority color. If you select the flag icon, you can apply a priority to the task. ToDoist will recognize what you mean and assign the correct calendar date and time. This means in the field at the top you can type something like “tomorrow at 4pm”. You can also use the same kind of natural language recognition that’s available on the ToDoist web app. This lets you use a standard calendar selection to choose the date and time when you want the task to be due. If you want to set an actual date for the task then select the Schedule button under the task name. If you do want to get a little more advanced with your task scheduling, there are a lot of options buried inside the task creation window. They’ll also default to being due today if you don’t schedule them. Tasks default to the Inbox if you don’t assign it to a project. This is the simplest way to create tasks. Press Enter when you’re done, or select Save. To create a new task, just select the + symbol next to Add a new task and type the description of the task. The menu system on the left lets you view tasks for today, upcoming tasks not yet due, and an area where you can create and organize all of your projects and tasks. Not only does it look identical, but everything works the same way as well.
