After all, OneNote and Cortana kind of do all of that, albeit in different ways. You are probably like me in also thinking we have many options already for notes, tasks, and reminders.

What makes Todoist so good and why do so many people swear by it? I had no idea, but I think I have it figured out. In that sense, I want to speak to you, dear reader, who may be in the same situation. So I am coming at Todoist as a complete novice, maybe even like yourself. Even I can learn a thing or two, and this campaign lets me take a look at apps and services I might have otherwise overlooked. In fact, one reason I love doing this Gems series is it forces me to use apps and services that I usually do not use. I had heard of Todoist before and knew it was for organizing things, but until now I had never actually tried it. Simply put: I don't use organizational apps or calendars very well. Confession: I am not organizedĪ running joke at Mobile Nations and Windows Central is my 'fly by the seat of my pants' approach to getting work done.

Luckily, the company has a well-done Universal app for Windows 10 and Mobile and today I'll tell you why you may want to jump on the Todoist bandwagon. Todoist is not a new company by any means, in fact, they are almost the gold-standard for people who need to keep a running list of things to do that day.
