Think of it as our informal “To-Do List Forgiveness” policy. It’s normal to over-estimate what you’ll be able to accomplish in a day, which is why we automatically roll over tasks that you weren’t able to cross off the day before, onto the next day. We’re flexible around unexpected changes to your day, your productivity levels, and your list needs. We can only get things done when they are properly assigned to the time we have. Our lives are lived by units of time, so it only makes sense to think about our tasks this way, plotting to-dos within the context of a day (rather than confronting an ever-rolling giant list of to-do’s that lack prioritization or finitism). Our interface is a calendar, making it clear as day what you should be working on.Ĭalendars and to-do lists should be treated as one and the same. You’ll still be able to bold tasks, link URLs, and add some light custom flair to your interface, but ultimately, with just 1 click and an ‘Enter’, you can be up and running with an efficient to-do hub. We’d rather you spend less time plugging in tasks and sub-tasks, assigning dates, assigning people to tasks, organizing, and customizing, and instead just simply make your to-do list and get to it. It’s tempting, as a task management tool, to fall into the trap of trying to accomplish everything for everyone. TeuxDeux makes it easier to create focus and get out of the weeds. We hear you asking: “Ok, but why should I move to TeuxDeux instead of Microsoft To-Do, Todoist,, TickTick, etc. etc.?” We’ve been around for over a decade, with zero plans of going away - we’re in it, with our users new and old, for the long haul. We don’t build a bunch of new features just because we feel like it. We make updates to our app based only on what will add actual value to our users’ lives, without adding to the digital and mental clutter, because our tool is evergreen in its usefulness. What we can say is that we’re a small and passionate team, who built TeuxDeux because we couldn’t find a to-do app for ourselves that was both super simple and beautiful. We at TeuxDeux also cannot claim to offer a carbon-copy brand of magic that Wunderlist does, because we’re a different app and we’re not trying to steal anyone’s formula (nor do we need to). While Wunderlist’s 2015 acquirer (Microsoft) suggests migrating to Microsoft To-Do, it’d be tough for the corporate successor to bottle and re-release the specific kind of magic that made Wunderlist special to its users. Another additional grouping that may be helpful is the use of labels in Planner, which can further categorize tasks.To the weary Wunderlisters with a fast approaching May 6th app shutdown on their quest for a new to-do list home base: we’d like to offer you the humble but mighty TeuxDeux. Although Wunderlist has a due date feature, Planner has integrated this feature into a separate calendar view, which helps visual users. In Planner, conversations on a task are also organized on a separate screen to be able to see if other team members need your attention on an item. One such ability is the presence of separate screens that organize the information put into the list, like the Planner dashboard or even Microsoft’s To-Do application. Although Wunderlist and Planner both have abilities such as: assigning, sub-tasking, commenting, and due dates, planner has other, often needed, abilities. For example, Planner boards have OneNote notebooks tied to them. This means that capabilities are integrated into a more seamless workflow that also includes Microsoft 365 Groups. It’s extremely important to point out that Planner is a part of Microsoft 365. They have “buckets” that you group your to-dos into. Planner does a much better job at grouping activities. This view is great for seeing everything that needs to be completed in a condensed way, but not as good at being able to group similar activities. One of the first noticeable differences between the two is the layout. You can also reference a previous article on Wunderlist replacement options, which includes a capabilities comparison chart, that we wrote on the subject of to-do applications. Check out the similarities and differences that I highlight and make the decision that fits best. Depending on how many people in your team, or what kind of work you’re doing, surely decides which application you should utilize. In this article, I want to walk you through what I noticed to be the differences between the two applications and help you decide which one is best for your workflow. It’s worked pretty well, but we wanted to explore the other option that we see often in our industry, Microsoft Planner. Up until recently, the world-famous ThreeWill Marketing Department has been using Wunderlist to organize our to-do’s. Introduction: Wunderlist to Microsoft Planner
