I knew this should be in there somewhere, I had a play with the settings and now I can see the entire title when viewing my to do.

I’ll need to test the widget display but this gets me what I want.

I’ve been enjoying my time with GoodTask but I’ve hit a display issue that has me rethinking my app choice. It may seem small but I use a to do system to remind me of things I should be mindful about.

You can see that when I do this I don’t see the entire text. A lot of apps do this, I stopped using Things because of it. Strangely Apple Reminders is the best at displaying this. Omnifocus also does a good job here.

I don’t want to make the text smaller with my ageing eyes so if you know a way around it please let me know.

Update: it’s in settings

I’ve been tinkering with GoodTask for a few weeks now and recently discovered the joy of being able to create and share themes. This is really unique and you can make GoodTask look just the way you like it.

Importing Themes on iOS into GoodTask is based on a text string that you can simply copy to the clipboard and use in GoodTask.

First off select the theme you’d like to import. I picked up mine from the GoodTask forums. Once you have found one you like copy the long text string above the image in the forum.

Now head into GoodTask and follow these steps.

The theme is picked up because it’s in the clipboard.

Let me know which theme you’re using.

I’m feeling like I have a bit more headspace now I’m less active on social media and to my surprise it’s allowed me to focus on trying one productivity app at a time. This might sound strange but when I was on Twitter daily I’d look at others and their apps and get FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). This would inevitably lead me to trying other apps.

Well since last week I committed to using iCloud (for privacy reasons mainly) and when I saw Reminders wasn’t up to scratch I started using GoodTask. I think my problem in the past was I didn’t stick with one app long enough but now I’m not seeing others feeds I’m not tempted to switch apps.

I’m keeping it simple so far and still in the process of moving everything in from OmniFocus. As you can see I’ve split up by Reminders lists so far, I’ll be sharing more as I go but this is stage 1.

I’ll share more on creating smart lists at a later point once I get my head around them.

Are you using GoodTask? Any tips?
