Tips and tricks | ![]() |
Try to make each of your tasks doable within 30 minutesWhen you make your plan you should consider breaking down tasks that
take more than 30 minutes to do. Only have a few active goals at the same time If you have too many active goals at the same time it will take much
longer before each goal is achieved. Do the most important tasks first with TodoPlus A very big project might never get done unless you focus on the most
important tasks. Use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible This is the most important tip that can improve your experience with
TodoPlus. How to transfer tasks to other software You can copy tasks to other software like your favorite word processor,
website editor, calender software etc. Use your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad If you want to use your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad for task management,
I recommend the app called "GoTasks". GoTasks is a free iPhone/iPod
touch/iPad application that can both be used offline and online. It can
sync with your Google Tasks, and if you use the procedures written below
this text, you can use TodoPlus with Google Tasks aswell - so you can
use your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad with TodoPlus. I tested many free apps
in order to find the one that looked most similar to TodoPlus and had
offline mode (for better performance) and of course Google Tasks sync. How to transfer TodoPlus tasks to Google Tasks If you want to transfer some of your TodoPlus tasks to your Google
Tasks account, then use the TodoPlus feature "Show in internet
browser". How to transfer your Google Tasks to TodoPlusIn order to transfer tasks lists from your Google account do this. 1. Log in to your Google account. NB: The sub-tasks are shown as Google tasks, so tasks and sub-tasks are
not converted into TodoPlus folders. However that is easy to to with "CTRL+right
arrow", if you really want to. Use a USB flash drive I personally store all my TodoPlus '.plan'-files on a USB flash stick
because I use both a stationary computer and a laptop. This way I can
work on these files on my stationary computer with the big computer screen
at home, and work on these files on my laptop, when I am away from home.
The benefit is that I do not need to copy the files (except backups) How to capture tasks when you are away from TodoPlusUse what ever you find convenient. You might want to use a combination of a small paper notebook and an iphone/ipod touch/mobile phone with notes that you can transfer to your laptop/desktop computer. If you have a Google account you have access to Google tasks too. You can also access your Google tasks from most mobile devices, and when you start TodoPlus later, you can transfer your Google tasks to TodoPlus. (look for example at this page). Sometimes paper to-do lists are the best way to go, especielly when shopping. Reuse your plans in the futureIf you want to re-use your to-do list for future projects, then do not delete the completed tasks! Just check them as completed and hide them using the filter. You can uncheck finished tasks later. When you want to re-use a plan make sure that the "Show done tasks" filter is activated and then just remove each of the "Done" states. An example of a re-useable plan is a goal that you would like to achieve
again or share with other people (i.e. vacation plan, weight loss, fitness
program). Navigation in TodoPlusThe most basic navigation in TodoPlus is the mouse, the arrow keys and the "Page up"/"Page down" keys. However you should try out the mousewheel too, if you have a mouse with a mousewheel. The mousewheel take smaller jumps up/down the list than the page up/down keys, and this of often better. If you want to find a specific task in a large list then you might want to use the search tool. The search tool is fast and it marks all the found tasks with blue text and opens the related tasks above. Get more lists from checklist.comThere are hundreds of checklist at http://checklist.com/categories/ - and you can copy them right into TodoPlus.
