Understanding Todoist Karma

Quick reference

• 00:04 Hello everyone, and welcome back to this GoSkills course, All About Todoist.
• 00:09 Now we talked about a range of things in this final section, from templates to
• 00:13 emailing in comments to emailing in tasks, all the way to emoji usage.
• 00:17 And we're going to finalize it, we're talking about Todoist Karma.
• 00:21 Now, Todoist Karma is a great way and a great motivator to be able to track how
• 00:26 well you're doing with your task management.
• 00:28 Now, Todoist Karma is accessible in the top right-hand corner, and
• 00:32 you normally see it with a tiny little pie chart with a number to the right of it.
• 00:36 Todoist Karma essentially tracks how many tasks you've completed.
• 00:40 Your completion streak, as well as completed tasks and activity log.
• 00:44 So from this window,
• 00:46 you'll be able to see from here how many completed tasks you've done so far.
• 00:50 So in this account, we've completed 33 completed tasks, and
• 00:54 you can set a daily goal.
• 00:56 Now the daily goal is a great way to get started,
• 00:58 especially, if you're looking to accomplish stuff during your day.
• 01:02 It's a great target and motivator.
• 01:05 So I can always edit the goal in Settings.
• 01:07 If I click Edit, it will bring me to the Settings page, and
• 01:10 I can essentially set the daily goal.
• 01:12 In this case I'm going to set it to 7 and hit Save.
• 01:16 You can also edit the weekly goal here, so if I wanted to edit to maybe 20,
• 01:20 little lower than expected.
• 01:22 And below here, you can set off weekends or set off certain days.
• 01:27 So for example, let's say we have Wednesday off, Saturday and Sunday.
• 01:31 And that means any streaks that you have won't be broken and
• 01:34 your Karma won't be affected those days.
• 01:37 Now, if you want, you can even turn on vacation mode.
• 01:40 So if you're on a break, karma won't be affected and
• 01:43 you'll still be able to achieve your goals.
• 01:45 If I wanted to I click Karma and see actually what level I am currently at.
• 01:50 Karma is broken into a multitude of levels, so
• 01:53 let's dive into what levels you can achieve.
• 01:55 The beginner level is between 0 to 500 karma points, and
• 02:00 of course, you build karma points by completing tasks.
• 02:03 And you can see a log of how many completed tasks you've got and
• 02:06 you lose points as well when you have overdue tasks.
• 02:10 Now, you can build up your Todoist karma all the way to something called
• 02:14 Enlightened with 50,000 plus Karma points.
• 02:18 If you want to track and visualize your account,
• 02:20 from here you can see karma trends, so how well you're doing per day.
• 02:24 Todoist Karma although, not necessarily a definitive number of your productivity,
• 02:29 it's a great way to reward yourself and
• 02:31 outline how well you're doing with your Todoist account.
• 02:35 So as you can imagine, this is a great improvement section,
• 02:38 so you can view here and improve it down there.
• 02:41 If I wanted to, I can click View all task, and
• 02:44 actually see an activity log of what I've done over the last couple of weeks.
• 02:48 Hopefully, that gave you a nice overview of your activity log,
• 02:51 as well as Karma inside of Todoist.
• 02:54 Now, we're going to dive into the course summary which is going to round
• 02:57 everything off for you.
• 02:58 Thanks very much, and we'll see you in the next feature, cheers.
