What Are Todoist Boards?

If you often get overwhelmed with all the little tasks you need to complete during the day, and you’re not seeing the bigger picture, you might need Todoist Boards. This powerful new feature allows you to organize new projects and tasks from a strategic point of view. Moreover, you can adjust it to make almost any plan work, from weekly meal prep to a production plan, if you look at it from a bird’s-eye perspective.

How Todoist Boards Work

In essence, boards are an advanced form of to-do lists. With movable task cards that can be moved from one column to the next, you can follow the process and always know what needs to be done and when. Usually, three columns are more than enough to support the process, from a simple “Task” to “In Progress” and “Done.”

You can organize your daily tasks as a freelancer, organize an event, or even schedule posts for your social media account. Board supports any idea and helps you stick to your plan.

How to Make a Board

Once you start a new project, you’ll see an option to have it as a board or a list. With a three-dots icon in the upper right corner, you can change the view from “board” to “list” and vice versa.

When you decide on the project name, you’ll need to organize your columns. Decide what you want to name them, then start making tasks and dragging them to a designated spot on the board. This way, your board will have a clear structure, and you’ll see it as a weekly (or monthly) strategy plan.

How to Add New Sections

After a while, you might notice that you need to rearrange some sections and add a few others. You can add them in different ways, but this one is the easiest:

At the top right of a project, click the three-dots icon.
Select the “Add section” option.
Type the name of your section and click the “Add section.”

Another quick way to add a section is to place your cursor over the line that separates sections. You’ll see the “Add section” option appear. When you click on it, it’ll automatically create as many new sections as you need.
