Hello and welcome back to the Keep Productive YouTube channel
Today's video. I wanted to share with you guys a little bit more about myself to do this usage
It's changed pretty dramatically over the last
Three or four months and and what I wouldn't do today is maybe give you a sort of taster
Into how I sort of have been exploring it just before we dive in I wanted to answer
Some YouTube comments so you can always skip ahead to the today's part if you want because stick around for these comments
The dunno whether I'm gonna get any glare on with glasses here, I'm just going to grab a few comments
I had a comment from Miguel in the comments. I'm not gonna try and pronounce his last name because it would go hideously wrong
But he asked and I did put a full response back. If you do want to check. It's on the LD calendar video
He but I'm back on Google Calendar any suggestions on a calendar with
Tasks that works with iPhone iPad and has a web version
Or am I asking too much? That's a great question and there were a lot of calendar applications out there
A lot of them don't necessarily have the task function
Some of them don't have the web function and some of them aren't solely iOS
So it's hard when it comes to calendar apps, of course, we all love sunrise and that was a great application
My recommendation to you would probably be calendars five
And using Google Calendar, that's personally what I use so you can use calendars five on your iPhone or iPad
and you can use the task function they have there and also use Google Calendar for web which is a really great calendar and will
Sync if that is your native calendar application or calendar experience via Google Fire
They have calendars five on your phone. What a quite lucky about calendars five is the viewing options and it just looks very great
But there are a few other alternatives if you wanted to just focus solely on web stuff then son
sama is pretty good when it comes to
visually planning stuff or you could go for some of the default ones like Google calendars and use Google to
Google Tasks to plot out your tasks. That's just another option
Let's find another comet. Okay, so Daniel hurt snow
asks on the Google Tasks video
Can I share one of my Google Tasks list with another person whereby each person will be able to review and edit the same list
Not right now. I haven't seen this function available in the application. They don't even have a web version yet
So they've almost soft launched this quite heavily
So I would just wait around for this function and sure Microsoft to do has this function yet
But there it's on the horizon for that application. So do stick around
I had a comment
From swag antic and Allah man doubt. I'm gonna ruin names here
So they asked does evident plus option still exist
That was a good question
Because I actually didn't never know if this notion video and actually saw while I was doing the pricing in it
Maybe like a week off that a plus pricing is now gone
You've only got your basic which is free and you got premium and business
So they've eliminated that one and they've made the disconnect between those two different
I don't know whether those users who have it still are still running
But to be honest if you want to get my opinion on it now looking back. I think the Plus version was pretty
Much of a waste of time. It was more to capture people there were
like not willing to pay the
Almost 50 pound a year price and to sort of go in the middle ground. So as you can imagine a thing that's changed
So now we've got through the comments. Maybe we can dive into the the good to do this stuff
Francesco needs their it knows how to keep
Here we are with the dis part you're probably wondering because it's quite a catchy title goodbye todoist
And I've have tried to hit this over the last couple of weeks
But for a total of almost three months I did leave todoist now
I'm I'm gonna have to take you back to maybe when I left University at this time last year
and moved into freelancing and during that period of time I
had of course a new mission to some extent I was doing freelancing during university, but
when it came to like my projects in my tasks they were
I guess
Changed because I was able to do freelancing a lot more can able to get my hands stuck in if you know what I mean
And go a bit further. So as you can imagine
My sort of role change to some extent in making it a bit more serious towards that role
So during this period of time I think it was maybe January this year
2018 I actually decided I was like, okay. I'm actually going to look at
experimenting with the - this application
for a total of three months and my goal with that move would essentially be to
try and take myself out of the
to-do list todoist routine in terms of my setup and also try and
Understand how my workflow works now. I'm working freelance full-time if that makes sense
So I and let's be I've been using to do this for four or five years now
I've not been someone that's not been, you know switching between applications
It definitely has taken me a lot of time to get this to get to this point
So I basically if January was like, okay, I need to move
I spent a couple of months working out what that application would be and also working out
What's a timing I would do and I decided that from sort of March time to ran about now would be a good time to
experiment with that application
terms of giving myself a two to three months runway with the application where I would fully dedicate my time now then
Application was things three
And that was things through for Mac and iOS
Now I obviously narrowed it down
I looked at like two tick tick a couple of other applications like to do only focus and things like that
But they really didn't fit my sort of setup. Tick. Ding was very much a bit, too
Fixed I would say to some extent and also I don't think it's there just yet. I think
Hey, that's another conversation
But OmniFocus and to do with definitely on the sort of radar but things three sort of met the balance between todoist
but also
the likes of more advanced applications that I only focus in terms of its so the vibe not rigid structure, but
Due to the elements and also sort of visual appeal
So inside of things sorry
ok would give this one a three month hit and I I made the jump and after maybe
three months I
Have to make the decision. Am I going to continue this application? Of course, I had plenty of time to work that out and
I've now come to a decision for the suspense back
They're gonna make myself a cup of tea because I heard it click and I was like, I need a cup of tea
So
Sorry for that
so intensive actual applications it I am now currently using I am back the todoist and
the main reason I
did go
Banquet to do it is because over that period of time I felt that things sorry actually didn't work for my sort of workflow
and I feel it worked for me in terms of like when I was doing freelance projects or work and I was like
Mmm, actually this application doesn't do this for me right now
maybe that was a combination of my
Long experience with todoist and things like that but over over this period of time. Oh this 3 to 3 months
I've been using things free I decided no, it's not suitable for me. So I just - just some clarity here
I think it is important to always evaluate the tools you use to some extent
It's almost like you know, you write down some - dues on a notepad and then after months you like go
Okay, you know do I like the spirals on my notepad?
Do I like?
The start of my notepad and you can get critical of course, but of course
It's working out the the best the best process for you over this time and what the one thing I am very happy for
during that experiment a period of time is that I have learned things about myself and
tasks and process and
general productivity to some extent about myself that I
have now applied to my now routine and it's
Unbelievable how that's changed my own day-to-day work over the last two weeks where I now being back onto duyst
It's actually become so much better
To some extent I would say that I'm glad that I did this experiment
because it's taking me out of an environment put me back into an environment and I've sort of have a feeling of
Learning and a good amount of knowledge. Now. What I want to do with you guys is
From my experience of this. I've got a few videos planned
so
What I have planned is I have to do this. I'm gonna do my to-do list
Set up video just to give you an idea of how a my setup has been I do these routine ones anyway
And it you know, it's at almost like my fourth or fifth year that I've been using it
So it's been a fair while I'm gonna explain my two months width in three
That's gonna be a separate video. I did like a lot of stuff in things free. I really did honestly
And I didn't like some stuff so I'm gonna go over all of that stuff. I'm gonna do to do this versus things through video
Hopefully that will be very useful especially because now I've actually used them in practice
For work and I wasn't even during that thing for a period of time to do this to paused
Literally, I obviously went through the correct procedure in taking out stuff and putting it back in
But I paused it. I'm also gonna do one
Specifically about things things that sucked in things through from your worthy video
And then I'm actually looking about a video that might help you all with the process of actually
Switching to new application and experimenting with that. So guys
Hopefully that was a interesting overview technically. Although this was a click Beatty. It was right
I did leave to do it for three months in an experimental move. That's the first time I've left it since
2012 or 13? I can't think but it's been a long time. So
Yeah
Yeah, five years ish
So that that's one saying I think it's positive sometimes and I have felt the benefits of it. So hopefully these videos
Want to get back from honeymoon?
wedding on set on this coming Saturday not this Saturday next Saturday, then I actually am going to be
Giving you a full rundown and it will give me a lot of time to focus
Anyway, guys, I hope you enjoyed this video. Give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it

Let me know in the comments what you think about to do some things really great here, but without further ado
Thank you very much. I'll probably catch you very very soon
If you get a bit of outage from me, it's because I'm getting married. I don't know. How do you mean so?
You might not get the fastest responses, but always leave your comments. I try and get back to them as fast like anyway guys
