Why I’m no longer using Todoist
There was a question regarding my last video about using the right tool for the right job and why I don’t use Todoist anymore. So let me expand and explain the reasons in this video.
Using the right tool for the right job also means using the right tool for the way you work, how your workflow is set up and the best way to work on projects with your clients.

so hello in yesterday's video I talked
about using the right tool for the right
job and today I want to kind of expand
on that a little with my own personal
workflow the reason is because someone
on Twitter actually asked me she was
just one worth question he just
basically wrote Twitter question mark oh
sorry to duyst question mark and I
haven't replied to him yet maybe you
should watch this video instead and I'm
guessing he's asking that question
because I've been making a lot of videos
and talking about todoist quite a lot
and to do it is a fantastic app it's an
amazing app you can do a user for so
many different things but again the
whole point of using the right tool for
the right job I mean something that
basically works for you so for me to do
it was fantastic and it works for all my
projects it works for all my to-do items
it worked for personal and business
to-do items business and work and
clients and projects and basically
everything but now that I've moved over
to Basecamp
I don't need to do it to do my project
in so if I don't need to do it for my
projects I don't really need it to do my
personal to Do's
because Apple have got one built in
called reminders so the whole point of
me not wanting to make anything
complicated was the reason why I moved
to reminders because reminders is was so
simple it's on your phone as well and I
know you can do this in two duis and I
know you can use different methods I
call them hacks they're not hacks per se
but different methods to talk to Siri
and put a to-do item in your to-do list
you can do that and it works
fantastically but again why complicate
things when there's one
already built into the Mac so you know
hey Siri remind me to do this haste oh
he's just woken up um that's not what I
said
well anyway because I didn't really say
anything anyway so I can just talk to my
phone and say do this and it does it and
it puts it into my reminders app and
because I'm using fantastical I see it
very simply in my agenda as well as the
stuff that's in my base camp so base
camp I use for my project and everything
else basically to do with my business
and so on I use it to check out my
prospects my sales pipeline and things
like that I just basically do it all
within Basecamp
I will be doing more videos on Basecamp
to show you more about that my agenda is
kind of like an overview of everything
I'm doing and that's basically all I
need to run my business obviously I use
other tools in the background and stuff
but so the idea of using the right tool
for the right app why I'm not using
todoist
it's not because todoist isn't a great
app it's a fantastic app and if you
don't need all the features of Basecamp
to do this will do the job for you
because I've used it for many many many
months maybe even a year or so to do it
to do my projects but because of
Basecamp and how it works and how I can
communicate with my clients much better
how I can do my work much better how I
can collate all the files for the
project much better I just found it was
better for me to use Basecamp
and a few of my clients are actually
using it as well so again it's not
because it's got more bells and whistles
or not because todoist isn't as good as
bass count or well it's nothing to do
with that it's that using the right
tools for the right job also means using
the right tools that work for your
workflow that
better for your workflow anyway that's
the rent
I'm staying warm with drinking tea have
a great day hope you enjoyed that and if
you have any questions please do put
them down in the comments below send me

that was a messed up ending have a great
day keep it simple and I see you
