Tasks only have a 'start time'. Todoist is best used in conjunction with a calendar. Things that have to be done but have some flexibility with scheduling are a task in Todoist. Places you have to be at specific times go in a calendar. They're two very different kinds of things and require different tools to work them properly. Simply drag and drop, stretch and shrink existing time blocks to modify start dates, end dates and durations for each of your Todoist tasks. Even sections are supported! No need to click save when you're ready. All changes are automatically synchronized back to Todoist as soon as you have made them.
Using recurring and repeating tasks in Todoist is a great way to save a lot of time and to stay on top of all of your tasks that occur regularly, or at least more than once.
When setting up a task in Todoist, to make it recurring you fill out the task information as you normally would, but when it comes to the time / date field you make some small changes.
For example, if you want a daily reminder you would type in “every day” in the date field and it would become recurring every day (remember – every day is ever day, including weekends!). If you only want weekdays you would type in “every weekday”.
There’s lots of date formatting options that gives repeating tasks a lot of flexibility – you can find more of them here on the Todoist date formatting guide.
This is also important to know about if you are using IFTTT and Todoist – you’ll need to make sure you have your date formatting correct or you may run into some real issues.
Another area where date formatting for recurring tasks can come in handy is setting start and end dates.
As an example, let’s say you had a project with a new task that came up, but you only need reminders through the end of the week. If today was March 23 and Friday was March 25, you would type in “every day ending March 25”. You can also do this for starting dates to set up a recurring task in the future!

Didn't meet that deadline? No problem. With task dependencies you can automatically update the due date of dependent tasks if one task gets delayed.
Share progress with clients or management by publishing a live read-only Gantt chart. Optionally password protect it and everyone can have direct access to your timeline.
When you make changes to the Gantt chart, all information is instantly synced to Todoist on all of your devices.
“All you have to do, really, is connect your account to Ganttify and it does the rest. You can save the chart as a PDF or image, share a link to the chart, and change the view in increments ranging from 5 minutes to one month at a time.

Set dependencies between Todoist tasks
Keep your entire project timeline in check by setting dependencies between Todoist tasks. Simply right-click time blocks and due dates and choose 'add dependency' to get started. You can even create dependencies across multiple Todoist projects!
If one task gets delayed, simply drag it to the new position in the Gantt chart and all dependent tasks are automatically updated with the new due dates across all your devices that run Todoist.
A step by step guide to creating dependencies can be found in our Help Center.
Publish & share a live project timeline.
No need to keep e-mailing generated PDFs or progress reports, management sees a read-only live project timeline upon each page refresh while you stay in control with full read & write access.

With the team management features you can easily invite multiple colleagues to one Ganttify subscription.
