How to set dates in Todoist

You can set dates in Todoist using the calendar/date selector, or by using natural language.

The wonderful people at Todoist have been doing a lot of tweaking of their Google Calendar integration. Here are some of the updates that you may find very u.

Todoist will automatically recognize and add due dates as you type them into a task name. This feature is called Smart date recognition. You can turn this feature on or off by going to Settings / General / Smart date recognition.

Disabling Smart date recognition for a single task

Sometimes, Todoist’s Smart date recognition can be a source of irritation. Let’s say the task is “Finish monthly expense report” By the time you type “Finish mon” Todoist will have interpreted this as a task named “Finish” that is due on Monday. To avoid this, press backspace or delete on your keyboard, or tap the highlighted word on your phone or tablet.

Relative numbers

The use of ! (exclamation mark)

Thanks to the tip from Keith in the comment section, I can list a very useful function that was unknown to me: The format Every! will calculate the next occurrence from when you complete the task. Meaning that if you complete the task later than on the first due date, the next occurrence will be calculated from when you completed the previous task.

Setting start dates for non-recurring tasks in Todoist

Start dates for non-recurring tasks are actually not supported in Todoist. The dates above are all due dates. You have three options to get around this:

1. Register the start date as the due date. When the task shows up, use the every day until <due date> to make the task repeat until the desired due date.
2. Register the task with due date every day from <start date> to <due date> .
3. Register the task with a due date and set a reminder for the start date.
