In this case you have unical tasks and not recurring tasks.

On the other side, imagine that you have to write 4 pages of a document and you pretend to write one page on day 1, page 2 on day 2, 3 on 3 and 4 on 4. If you don't go on day 1, you still be able to go on day 2, but if you don't go on Day 2, you will not go again and again, to the academy, on the day 3. If I go on day 1, it is ok, another task will be schedule for day 3. If you don't do the first task, it is delayed and there will not be a next task.Įx: if I want to go to the academy every 2 days and I don't go on Monday, Monday task will be delayed.

If today was March 23 and Friday was March 25, you would type in “every day ending March 25”.The reason why reccuring tasks exists on a task management perspective is pretty different from the reason recurring events exists on a calendar app.įor task managers, the next task will not exist if you don't do the first task.

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. 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. If you only want weekdays you would type in “every weekday”. 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.įor 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!). 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.
