Thanks for that reminder by the way! I actually forgot that you can create a calendar called Todoist and then post tasks to at date.
I’ve always struggled with the philosophy of tasks being on a calendar because of the overhead. I always had this thing where is there was a firm date and time for something then it went on the calendar. Meetings. Family events, etc. Also regularly scheduled events go there, too. Things that have to get done with no particular time go on a task list for a date. Ideally you’d like to see both on whatever view you are using. Todoist is poor in being able to view your calendar. Omnifocus is ideal, because you can see both tasks and calendar on any particular day. But then, unfortunately, I don’t think that Omnifocus can PUT a task on iCal.
I have found that there are “calendar” people and “To-Do” people in the way they order their lives. Some people want everything on a calendar and run to that using iCal or some derivative like Fantastical or Google Calendar. Other people, like me, simplify and put everything on their todo system as it does the same thing. Todoist offers a nice view of things, delegation and re-scheduling of todos so that makes it a very good vehicle.
But now, as you pointed out, since you could create a calendar called “Todoist” and then let iCal have it, that makes those tasks available in Agenda.
Nice find and I appreciate the heads up on that!
