Todoist6/12/2023 ![]() To use reminders as start dates, don’t create a due date for the task but create a time-based reminder instead. In this case, you’ll want to use time-based reminders so that they’ll ping you on a date and time rather then where you might be located. Todoist allows you to create reminders for tasks either by location or by time. This one is a great way to create start dates, but it does need you to be disciplined about what date you can begin a task. ![]() Use the Reminder function (and don’t set a due date) I’ve experimented with three ways to achieve start date functionality in Todoist, and while none of them are perfect…they do the trick. And while Todoist doesn’t offer them in a dedicated field, you can make start dates happen in Todoist – and without the use of external apps or services to boot. If you’re a fan of David Allen’s Getting Things Done methodology, then start dates are going to be something you’ll want. And those that do have start dates don’t have the scalability that Todoist offers in terms of features and platform ubiquity. To be fair, not many of the task management apps out there have starts dates. One of the biggest pain points that Todoist users have is the lack of start dates in the app.
