When you have the discipline of maintaining a task list and completing them sequentially, Todoist is the go-to app for you. To make the tasks list management more efficient you can also add Google Calendar to Todoist. In this guide, I will explain how to do it. Adding the Calendar will make the task lists and dates sync in real-time.
You can easily manage all kinds of tasks you have put up on our Todoist. Once you create any task with a due date, then it will integrate with Google calendar automatically. Alternatively, if you create events on google Calendar it will add to Todoist. Any changes you make either on Google Calendar or Todoist will reflect on each application. This feature is available for all the free, premium, and business account holders of Todoist.
