2 Android Apps to Help You Keep Your Priorities In Check

    Android own checklist for you: Todoist

Lists. We all make them and use them to remind ourselves so that we don’t forget things, and yet we often end up forgetting them all when we lose track of the list itself. Today, we are fortunate enough to live in the smartphone generation where apps on our devices allow us to do so at our convenience and make sure we don’t forget a thing. Todoist happens to be the perfect cure for forgetful folks to help them get their priorities and chores organized and executed with efficacy.
Todoist is a nifty app for the Android platform that has reminder and lists integrated into it to add in another feature of inboxes that enables its users to see what they have received from say a team member on a particular task in case it was forgotten.

The app is set in a white and red interface which is predominantly white and red at a few edges and in the selected text.
Once you launch the Todoist app, the first thing you see is the login which you can use Google account to access as well.
A blank screen appears where you are asked to add in a reminder for yourself which is pretty straight forward.

You can select the folder that it will appear inside and the day you would like it to remind you including an option for everyday.
Once you do so, the reminder will get fixed inside your inbox or any other selected folder as you have added it.
To the left you will see a pull out where you can see:

• Inbox
• Today
• Next 7 days
• Projects
• Labels
• Filters

Labels is another cool option in the premium range of elements within the app.
Inbox is your main folder where majorly everything is saved. Today is where you can see a long list of what’s on your plate for the current day. Though this is pretty straight forward, the graphics and slickness of the app makes for a good feel to the user.
An extended feature of the app is the level of priority it has on the app and in lines with that the time at which it has to be completed. A level of priority can be assigned at any time.
To add to this, projects can even be assigned and this is what makes the app unique to an extent.
Within the project category, you can even add in a sub project which further can be assigned to team members having common access to it so that any changes made are visible to everyone in the office.

In case you have a huge list of never ending tasks you can even use the search functionality and look for a task that has been hidden in your pile somewhere.
You can also take a look at the notifications in case somebody has sent in a file for you to see and complete.
Once done, you can hit the complete button and again everyone having common access to the project gets to see it. Sounds for the notifications can also be set by you.
You can also set the time for the reminders being 10 minutes before the task, 20 minutes a day, etc.
The Todoist Android app is the magnificent work of a top developer named Doist and shares a significant and thriving popularity amongst its peers.

You could do the same when you want to send a file to your phone.
