It’s a tool with a bent towards GTD but also general good piece of software for handling tasks, projects and goals. For more on that, see “The GTD Way: Managing Your Tasks and Information with Evernote”.Ībout a year ago, I decided to switch to Todoist, a multiplatform task and project manager. By adapting Evernote, a flexible tool for handling notes and media, I created my own GTD task manager. Personally, in my first adaptation of GTD I used Evernote. A comprehensive review of checklist and task managers is beyond this post. Most of the book looks at a non-digital approach of using paper, folders, file cabinets, and a calendar.įor the more digitally inclined, there are a lot options for managing your checklist, todo list and projects. Allen’s website lists several options from software (like Wunderlist, OneNote and Evernote) to physical notebooks. The book itself is fairly agnostic about a preferred tool and approach. When it comes to implementing David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” or GTD methodology, there are a lot of options. In turn, this product of productivity (completed tasks) become a great measurement of your productivity too. The point is to get tasks done and projects advanced. The GTD system leads us to a better “product” of productivity: getting things done or, to put it another way, completed tasks, project and goals. His book and methodology pushed me get dominion over the “stuff” and create a system to get it out of my head and into a process. This is situation is the challenge of most modern digital workers, as Allen points out. Figuring out your priorities and managing all of the stuff is hard. Like a lot of modern digital worker, I have struggled with all of the work and information I have to deal with. It’s a book I highly recommend and have gifted the most. I’ve read a lot of books about work and productivity, but arguably the most influential on me (and a lot of other high functioning executives and entrepreneurs) is David Allen’s “Getting Things Done.” It was a game changer for me personally. You need to process, priorize and execute. ![]() You have to deal with a world of too much information and endless distractions. In order to get tasks, projects and important goals done, you have to be organized. ![]() It’s about completing the tasks that drive value to your projects, business and life. ![]() Even after that the tool has a more palatable basic tier of $20/mo.The true goal of productivity is to get your most important shit done. My initial thought would be to add a label in Todoist called something like “Migrate” and have Zoho Flow or Zapier watch for tasks with that label and move them into Asana.Īlso, I noticed that Import2 has a stand alone CSV tool now ( ) that offers a 14 day free trial…so as long as you were doing a complete migration maybe it could be done within that 14 day time period. We use Zoho One so I’m tempted to try and figure out some sort of Zoho Flow (just like Zapier but not as robust) or even a Zapier integration maybe…I guess to make anything like that work you’d have to do “something” to trigger those integrations, like editing tasks in mass. I’d love to know if anyone has a more up to date suggestion for those of us who don’t have bottomless wallets. To be fair though, when this was originally written Import2 had a free tier…used it for some Hubspot export stuff and then soon after it was insanely expensive!
