Discussion Anyone actually using AI to manage their tasks?

15 Upvotes

I've been wondering if AI is actually useful for managing tasks, not just helping you write a to-do list.

Most task apps still require you to organize everything yourself. Add tasks, set deadlines, sort them into projects, change priorities, etc.

I'm curious if anyone here has tried using AI for this. Like, just telling it what you need to do and letting it organize everything for you, instead of manually managing your lists all the time.

Does it actually work well? Or do you end up spending more time correcting the AI than just doing things yourself?

Would love to hear from people who've actually tried it. What tools are you using?

Discussion Any alternatives to TaskCalSync?

3 Upvotes

Are there any alternatives to TaskCalSync?

It seems to have simply stopped working, and I emailed their contact, which promises 48 hour response time, and havent heard anything back in 3 days.

The function TaskCalSync provided is pretty much the core of my ToDoist workflow, and without it, I dont have much use for ToDoist...

Bug Sub-task drag/drop has no undo and it's brutal

6 Upvotes

Three things, the first one is the one that actually hurts me physically (this is all desktop MacOS app fyi):

If you've got a parent task with loads of sub-tasks and you multi-select a few to reorder them..... they constantly end up nested BY ACCIDENT under a neighbouring sub-task instead of staying under the parent. Happens most when you drag to the top. And there's no undo. I did this with eight tasks last week and the only fix was recreating every single one by hand. Just give us undo on drag/drop, or an outdent / "move to parent" that works on a multi-select. Either would do. pls! You guys have been doing so well this year i loved the color by label in calendar legit life changing. Keep it up plspls 😭

Second, on mobile the calendar sometimes goes blurry when it's coloured by label?? Not sure if anyone else has seen this but... only fix is switching to project colouring, letting it render, then switching back. Doesn't happen every time but often enough to be annoying.

Third, multi-select in calendar view. Being able to grab a few tasks and drag them to another day as a block would be GREAT X10.

Curious if anyone has run into any of these too??

Discussion Workaround for "waiting" tasks in Today view

6 Upvotes

Who has a good solution for this: I have a number of tasks, some of them recurring. Sometimes they're scheduled and pop up in my Today view, but I can't act upon them right away, because I might be waiting for something else. I can't re-schedule them (because I don't know how long I'll have to wait) and I don't want to postpone, if it's a recurring task. I label them as "waiting" but I can't exclude certain labels from Today or Upcoming view, right? So they remain on my view as "overdue", but there's no "elegant" way to hide them. Any ideas or workarounds? Am I missing something?

Help Project Color Grey vs Project Color Charcoal vs standard Inbox color

5 Upvotes

So I'm trying to use the project colors but I'm either blind or the "grey" that's available is identical to the "charcoal" that's available, and both are identical to the color of items from the inbox.

Can someone help me out? Are these all the same or am I doing it wrong?
