I make a Project for every semester, i.e. I'm a computer science student and Todoist has helped me a lot. But perhaps that's just because I already use it so much and don't want to switch my setup at all. I would probably keep pro even if I didn't use it for work. E.g., stuff like taxes, financial stuff, vehicle registration, rent or utilities if they aren't on auto-pay, etc. Where it might help is in your personal life, which is helpful for school to the extent that it allows you to focus on school work more. Their guide for doing it is kinda dumb IMO. And don't try to shoehorn pomodoros into Todoist.

I would recommend time-blocking/pomodoros. I didn't write a lot of papers for my major though, so maybe someone that knows more about that can share their thoughts. I tried using it like "read chapter 10 and do exercises 2, 4, & 8", which was more of bad studying than the fault of a to do/reminder app. If there are classes that have homework several days a week, it really isn't as useful, since you'll kinda just know you have something to do there. It was good for reminders and stuff for one off things like "buy tickets for " or "bring to campus". Todoist offers an integration with Google calendar for this. But, it may be worth looking into if you want to look ahead on your tasks.

I know some probably used a calendar with todoist, but I found the today tab to be enough. You could do the same with college.Īnyways, I hope this was helpful. I made a second filter that shows me my top priority tasks for work that day too, so I can focus on just those if I am short on time. Now that I'm working, I created a filter that filters out all of my personal tasks and shows me all work tasks for the day. Use priority indicators to show you which items need your attention first and work down the list from there. If you are going to try Pro, maybe create projects for each of your classes so you can quickly see which assignment is associated with which class. If so, just schedule your task for some time before the assignment is due You might use "do" dates instead of "due" dates if you need more time. There were times when I wanted to do more, or thought I should be working on something else, but you just have to take a breath and trust that you planned everything right and keep going.īefore the semester started I entered all of my assignments and then assigned the due dates for those assignments. This way, I did only the things I planned for and nothing else. If I had something on for "today" I did it. It was very useful.įor school, the "today" tab ruled my day. When I was a student, todoist had a student discount thing where you got a business account. I recently completed law school and relied heavily on todoist to keep track of all of my reading and assignments.
