Task Management: Todoist and Notion

I’ve been using these both software to manage my tasks but have seen confusions in the implementation (and the implementation is done by myself!). I have been separating the tasks based on whether they are reoccuring or not, and also simple – which is in Todoist, and conversely whether they are a project and relatively big or not – which is in Notion.

The benefits I have seen is that Todoist is fast to upload and the interface is simple. I am happy with that. Recently however its interface has become more complex (in a good way) and has more features added, such as calendar. With this, I come to realise that my time is finite (yeah, big surprise there), so I need to put tasks that only can fit in the calendar. Even in daily calendar, I tend to be over-optimistic and think I can do a lot of things.

Which leads to Notion, where all my dream projects. This has even way more optimistic items, and I realized it has become very disorganised, partly because the way I use Notion has evolved and partly because Notion itself has evolved. It added a Calendar function, which I find to be crappy, but still helped in my realisation of how my time is finite.

So, how to procede? I am tempted to ‘sync’ all into calendar, but am not convinced that Google Calendar is easy enough to cater to all of these, or I am capable enough to view and act on all of them. I am also tempted to ‘push’ all the tasks, even the one from Notion, into Todoist, since that is the most flexible software, but I am not sure it will stay the same if I do so.

I realise that this post is so vague that anyone not having seen how I set up both of this, can comment on how I should proceed, but still, any input is appreciated.

Thank you for reading.
