    My todo list in @Todoist got so long that I started a new one for a specific project in Notes and it's been working great.

    Not sure if this speaks more to the usability of Todoist or my own organizational skills.

    I realized I was setting arbitrary due dates on my todo list as a way to prioritize tasks so they'd show up in order of importance, but it turns out that's a terrible technique.

    I just did a major refactoring of my Todoist and now I'm using priority 1/2/3 tags for that, and due dates only when a task is really due that day.

    I'm still figuring out exactly how to use the priorities, here's what I've got so far:

    • p1 - this is top priority, I should do things in this list as soon as possible
    • p2 - things that I want top of mind, but can wait until things in p1 are done
    • p3 - sort of a catch-all when I want something to bubble up a bit quicker than if it has no priority tag

    I also switched my main view in Todoist to a custom filter that shows me:

    • tasks due today
    • priority 1 tasks not due today
    • overdue tasks

    I'm going to try to stick to this view as my primary view instead of clicking on the "Today" tab.

    My todo list is so long that I had already done some things on it and forgotten to check them off because I was too anxious about looking at my todo list because it was so long.
