I think it would be good if Todoist had an option to input custom days as vacation days. Could even set it for certain projects, i.e Work. This means if I set Monday 5th April (Easter Monday) as a vacation day, any new tasks created for that Monday will auto set for next working day, essentially blocking that day off for #Work tasks. In Todoist, you can make sure you never miss a thing by adding due dates and/or times to your tasks. You can even create recurring or repeating due dates like “Send Mom a birthday card every July 19” and “Take out the recycling every other Wednesday”.

Please note that in Todoist there are two recurring dates: every and every!. They are similar and the difference is how the next date is computed. For example:

Just type the recurring date into the task field using natural language — like Take out the trash every Friday at 9 am. Todoist will figure out the rest. Tip: You can create recurring tasks that are a little more complicated — like every other Saturday, every third Tuesday, and even every Wednesday starting August 3 and ending September 15. In this episode, I take you through setting up recurring tasks and how to set up a routines folder to separate put the mundane tasks that do not belong insid. You have a ton of options when setting up recurring tasks – the formatting options allow for a wide range of setups (you can find the Todoist support article here ). Putting repeating tasks to use is a great way to form a new habit – such as reading a new book, taking time to fill out your daily plan, and more.

  • Clean fridge with due date every 3 months starting 10 April
  • Clean fridge with due date every! 3 months starting 10 April

Completing every 3 months starting 10 April will result in a due date 3 months from 10. April.

Completing every! 3 months starting 10 April will result in a due date 3 months from the completion date.

Changing the due date on a todoist reoccurring task without breaking the reoccurrence:

Todoist Multiple Due Dates

Note little spinner for reoccurring

If a reoccurring task is due, and you want to change the due date on this instance without breaking the reoccurrence, Click on the three dots “…” And schedule

Todoist schedule

And then choose a shortcut date or use the date picker, for example, Postpone to tomorrow

Moves the due date it but doesn’t break reoccurrence

Or you can pick a date:

Reoccurrence still stays:

However if you edit the date by clicking in the date text field:

Now you are changing the “master date”/breaking the reoccurrence

For example using date picker:

Set Recurring Tasks In Todoist

Click save:

Note reoccurrence gone

Todoist Daily Task

So if you don’t want to break the reoccurrence, only use the … date picker, not the text field.
