Priority Levels

Quick reference

• 00:05 Hello everyone and welcome back to this GoSkills course all about Todoist.
• 00:09 In this feature, we're going to touch on the priority levels which you can use
• 00:14 inside of your Todoist account to prioritize certain items in your list.
• 00:18 Now this is very valuable when it comes to using the Next 7 day tap.
• 00:22 Imagined that you've got your next seven days full of different tasks and
• 00:26 activities?
• 00:27 You're looking at it and you want be able to determine what the priority items for
• 00:31 the day are.
• 00:32 And of course, you will be able to do that using priority levels
• 00:35 which we'll explain in this feature.
• 00:37 So let's go back today area, I have got three core items for the day.
• 00:42 The most prioritized item is currently the 7 PM one, because I've put a time on it.
• 00:48 However, I want to actually redefine the priorities of these by giving it a color
• 00:52 indication.
• 00:53 To add a priority, all I have to do is click into a task, and
• 00:57 I can see a little flag that appears in the bottom right-hand corner.
• 01:01 Once I click in this flag, I get four core options.
• 01:04 I have white flag which essentially is no priority.
• 01:08 You can see here that all of the tasks we have inside this inbox so
• 01:11 far has a priority four with a white flag.
• 01:15 This essentially means it has no priority and
• 01:18 doesn't have any certain ranking inside of your Todoist account.
• 01:22 You have then got a yellow flag, which indicates priority three.
• 01:26 Now priority three is your lowest priority level that isn't the P4, and it allows
• 01:31 you to see that this is a low priority item, something that has low importance.
• 01:37 And will help you to navigate your account.
• 01:40 You've also got a priority two which is a medium level priority,
• 01:43 this will help you to determine whether it's a low priority or not.
• 01:48 So for example, medium one will indicate that is fairly important but not so
• 01:52 important that it indicates that it's a red priority.
• 01:56 The final area is red priority, it's priority one.
• 01:59 Priority one indicates that it is the most important thing in your list.
• 02:03 You can obviously have lots of these and
• 02:04 you don't necessarily have to dish them out sparingly.
• 02:07 However it will allow you to determine inside of your list,
• 02:11 which ones are the most important tasks.
• 02:13 So if I were to click party one and press save,
• 02:17 you could see that that is the most important item inside of my today.
• 02:21 You can see that it's red, and the tickable icon appears
• 02:25 a little bit differently to how it down here, and that's with no priority.
• 02:30 So I'm going to add two more here.
• 02:32 I'm going to add the medium to the COOK salmon because that's something that is
• 02:36 fairly important, and I'm going to add a yellow icon P3 to the clean house.
• 02:42 This helps to identify which one is the most important task of the day.
• 02:46 This is a very helpful indication, especially when you're at Next 7 days, and
• 02:50 for example, when you're going across a date and
• 02:52 you want to see your most important task.
• 02:54 Hopefully, that gave you a nice introduction to priority levels,
• 02:57 of course, you can use them inside and outside of your Todoist account.
• 03:00 And they are a great way to define which is your most important task.
• 03:04 I will see you next feature,
• 03:05 which will dive into shareable tasks inside of your Todoist account, cheers!
