Four hundred tasks read and sorted into four piles in about a minute: overdue and still relevant, overdue and clearly dead, scheduled this week, and undated tasks untouched for two months.
Capture works beautifully and review does not, so after a year the list holds a hundred things you will never do next to the eight that matter. The fix is a weekly review that takes forty minutes and feels like admitting failure.
A companion reads the projects, sections, tasks and labels and does it in about a minute. The dead pile arrives as thirty-one specific tasks, each with the date it was created, which makes deleting them a decision.
01
What does an automated weekly review do?
Sorts your list into four piles with counts and names: overdue and still relevant, overdue and clearly dead, scheduled this week, and tasks with no date untouched in two months.
The dead pile is the one you cannot make yourself look at. Presented as thirty-one specific tasks, each with the date it was created, deleting them becomes a decision.
02
Can it capture tasks from other places?
Meeting notes in a doc, a decision in a chat thread, an email ending with three implied commitments. A companion works your signed-in sessions, reads those, and drafts the tasks with the source linked.
Adding them is confirmed, which stops the list filling with plausible-sounding tasks nobody agreed to. Same trick pointed at a CRM: turn meeting notes into crm updates.
03
The projects nobody closed
A companion reports projects with no completed tasks in sixty days, projects with a single stale task, and sections that are empty.
Small cleanup, disproportionate relief. The list becomes navigable, which is the only thing that makes anybody trust it.
04
Why the confirmation step matters on a task list
A task list stops working the moment you distrust it.
If items appear that you never agreed to, you start ignoring the whole thing, and within a month the real list is back inside your head.
So additions and deletions are confirmed, and the list stays yours. Filters, templates and notification settings stay in Todoist, and the reachable surface follows its public API.
Yes. A companion reads tasks, projects and labels through a connected Todoist account and sorts them into overdue-and-relevant, overdue-and-dead, this week, and untouched-for-months.
It reads the notes in your signed-in session, drafts the tasks with the source linked, and adds them once you confirm. The confirmation is what keeps the list honest.
Yes. Connect the account and a companion reads projects, sections, tasks and labels, and runs the weekly review as four decided piles instead of one long list. The credential is stored encrypted outside Strawberry, and the actions follow the Todoist public API.
Ask for tasks with no date untouched in sixty days, listed with their creation date. Deletion arrives as one reviewed proposal, which is the version of this anybody finishes.
It tells you which ones look abandoned and why, with the dates that prove it. Priority is a judgment about your own week and stays with you.
