Todoist Recurring Reminders




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.

Todoist Recurring Dates

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.

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

In any project or your inbox hit the big '+' button in the top right hand corner or the 'add task' button. Setting recurring due dates. Fortunately, you can have Todoist send you a reminder by email or push notification when a task is coming up. Automatic reminders. When I set recurring reminders on a task with no due date, if I choose 'complete' on the push notification, the task is set complete and there's no future reminder. Something like, the task is 'make a coffee every day', with no date set. The reminders are recurring, like 'every day at 7'. I might put a weekly recurring reminder on my Google Calendar on Sunday, 'Activate a task to water the plant this week.' Then, I'll add that task to a Next Actions list in Todoist. As part of this system, I consider due dates that I put into Todoist as hard absolutely have to do due dates. Add a reminder for missed phone calls. When you miss a phone call, a Todoist task will be created immediately to remind you to call this person back. Here is the link to the IFTTT recipe. Save new iOS reminders as a task.

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.

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.

(You can find out more about integrating IFTTT and Todoist to automate some really handy processes here: IFTTT & Todoist Gmail Automation Article)

Another area where date formatting for recurring tasks can come in handy is setting start and end dates.

As an example, let’s say you had a project with a new task that came up, but you only need reminders through the end of the week. If today was March 23 and Friday was March 25, you would type in “every day ending March 25”. You can also do this for starting dates to set up a recurring task in the future!

Hi Guys!
So I'm attempting to implement GTD on todoist, I have my next action list set up and stuff, however I've run into abit of an issue.
I want to be able to implement a task that I do once a week, such as 'check new food recipes', with no specific day in mind - just that I do it once a week. The simplest thing is to just schedule it as reoccuring for any day and I change that as need...but my next action filter query only includes tasks due:today or no date. This filter query is so that I'm only dealing with what's relevant for today. So the problem is if I have the desired recurring task on another day, I won't be able to find it on my next actions list to DECIDE whether I want to do it today or not.
I ideally want to be free to do it any day, but to be able to tick it off for the week when I do it. Is there a way to get around this problem?
If my explanation is confusing feel free to ask me to clarify
