Todoist is the app that much of the team here at CIG uses. It has a fairly minimalist. The app sends reminders when tasks are due, alerts for events and other types of reminders (like reminding you to take your medicine). Has periodic alerts. Apple Reminders. The app can be set to send periodic alerts (for example, every 10 or 20 minutes) until you have completed a task.
Todoist has some great features, and with the “premium” (paid) version you can even do location based reminders for your to do lists and tasks.
Basically, it works like this:
- Create new task
- Set reminder
- Change reminder type to location based
- Enter location (street address or saved location from previous use)
There is obviously some great uses for these reminders – for example with tasks that don’t have a set date but that require you to be in a certain location. In the video, my example is buying a birthday card. Other ideas include reminders to check out certain physical products (need to be “in” a store), reminder to visit someone in person when in a certain area, and more.
This is a great addition, but it can be confusing to use (or even figure out how to use) at first. Check out the video for a quick overview on how to set up location based reminders in Todoist.

Using recurring and repeating tasks in Todoist is a great way to save a lot of time and to stay on top of all of your tasks that occur regularly, or at least more than once.
When setting up a task in Todoist, to make it recurring you fill out the task information as you normally would, but when it comes to the time / date field you make some small changes.
For example, if you want a daily reminder you would type in “every day” in the date field and it would become recurring every day (remember – every day is ever day, including weekends!). If you only want weekdays you would type in “every weekday”.
There’s lots of date formatting options that gives repeating tasks a lot of flexibility – you can find more of them here on the Todoist date formatting guide.
This is also important to know about if you are using IFTTT and Todoist – you’ll need to make sure you have your date formatting correct or you may run into some real issues.
(You can find out more about integrating IFTTT and Todoist to automate some really handy processes here: IFTTT & Todoist Gmail Automation Article)
Another area where date formatting for recurring tasks can come in handy is setting start and end dates.
Todoist Reminders List
As an example, let’s say you had a project with a new task that came up, but you only need reminders through the end of the week. If today was March 23 and Friday was March 25, you would type in “every day ending March 25”. You can also do this for starting dates to set up a recurring task in the future!
