ANECDOTE

Carl's Project Management Anecdote

  • Carl Pullein uses Evernote for big projects like writing books, not Todoist.
  • Todoist only holds a simple task like "continue writing book" while most details live in Evernote.
INSIGHT

Tasks vs. Project Clarity

  • Having all tasks in a manager like Todoist doesn't mean better productivity.
  • Important projects typically live mostly outside Todoist in notes and references, not detailed to-dos.
ADVICE

Use Todoist for Commitments

  • Use Todoist primarily to track commitments and daily routines to avoid forgetting them.
  • Reserve detailed notes, brainstorming, and creation work for apps like Evernote or Keynote.
