Getting the Most Out of Todoist: A Guide to Modes and Labels for Enhanced Productivity

When it comes to getting things done, having a reliable task management system is crucial. For me, Todoist has been that go-to tool. One of the features that I find particularly valuable in Todoist is its mode system, which allows me to add real value to each task I create.

In Todoist, modes are essentially labels or categories that help me prioritize and organize my tasks. This concept may not be unique to Todoist, as other apps like Asana use a similar approach with tags. However, the way Todoist implements its labeling feature has been a game-changer for me, aligning seamlessly with my productivity approach – The NOW Year Formula.

What I appreciate most about Todoist's labels is the ability to assign multiple labels to a single task. This flexibility allows me to capture even more context and meaning behind each task, making it easier to stay focused on what needs to be done.

As someone who has been using Todoist as my primary task manager for a few months now, I still find that there are some features missing that would make it even more effective (such as URL schemes and Start Dates). Nevertheless, Todoist still offers many benefits that set it apart from other task managers out there. In an earlier post, I outlined the reasons why I prefer Todoist over other options.

Overall, the combination of modes and labels in Todoist has been a significant factor in my productivity success. By leveraging these features effectively, I'm able to stay on top of my tasks and achieve my goals more efficiently.
