@amix3k Thanks for replying!

I find it visually distracting to see the duration listed under “Date”. I would rather it be empty so I could tell that no date has been assigned.

Regarding the default columns, I would like to see Description and Labels as default when I create projects.

@RosenZone Level 2:

Point your agent to this @coreyganim post and watch it cook.

[Corey Ganim @coreyganim]

A simple framework I use to delegate tasks to AI agents is Why/Done/Access.

On your to do list app of choice try including these 3 lines in the description of each task:

Why:
Done:
Access:

Here's a few examples:

Send invoice to new client

-Why: get paid before month end
-Done: invoice sent, due date in the CRM
-Access: Stripe, signed proposal in Drive

Lock recording date with podcast guest

-Why: episode needs to ship this month
-Done: date on calendar, recording link sent
-Access: Gmail thread, calendar

This allows me to point any agent at my to do list and ask it to execute, and it has all the context needed without getting stuck.

This is the prompt I give my agent every morning:

"Pull every task due today. Analyze the Why/Done/Access fields to get the context you need to fully complete each task. For any tasks that you’re unable to complete, do as much of the work as you possibly can then tee up the remaining work for me or my assistant to finish off.”

Make sure each of your descriptions pass this test: could someone who has never met you finish the task from it alone?

Yes, it's a pain for tasks like "book haircut."

But taking 30 seconds to add context is the boring work required to empower agents to fully execute tasks.

@RosenZone 1. Pay $60 for Todoist
2. Open the Inbox and dump out everything that is in your brain… everything… goals, fears, ideas, grocery items, everything.
3. Connect Todoist to your preferred agent
4. Tell your agent that you want it to manage Todoist as your productivity coach

You know something A.I. is never going to change?

1. Define what “done” means
2. Define the next action.
3. Prioritize and execute.

In Christ, the righteousness of God is not a hammer to smash us, but clothing to cover us.

A few problems:
1. That stat is made-up and passed on repeatedly with no scientific basis.
2. It assumes the sermon is a lecture. it is not.
3. It assumes the point of the sermon is basic information transfer. It is not.

4,000 people let go today from a growing profitable company because A.I. tools made their positions unnecessary.

[jack @jack]

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.

####

today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.

first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.

we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.

i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.

a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.

we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.

to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.

to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.

@LSUBanditz @grok what tweet is he referring to?

[Morgan Pixley @morganpixley]

@amix3k today I dragged a task onto my calendar view and gave it 45m duration. Later, I deleted time but left it on today. Later in the day, I dragged it back to my calendar and Todoist remembered the 45m duration. How?
