Forward emails to Todoist as new tasks or comments<\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019ve got important information in an email and you need to get it into Todoist, forwarding is the fastest way. There are two ways to do this: You can forward an email into a Todoist project to create a new task with the email in the comments, or you can forward the email into an existing task\u2019s comments.

Set due dates to recur based on the last completion date<\/h2>\n<p>As the task manager with the smartest date recognition on the market, Todoist can recognize any recurring due date you type into it, from \u201cevery weekday\u201d to \u201cevery 3rd Tuesday\u201d to \u201cevery 3rd of the month starting Apr 1 and ending Oct 13\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>What you may not know is that you can also set a date to recur based on when a task was last completed. For example, I have a task called \u201cBalance my accounts <img decoding=\"async\" draggable=\"false\" role=\"img\" class=\"emoji\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcb8\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/svg\/1f4b8.svg\">\u201d that I want to do every month. However, it\u2019s a task that I often put off. If I set the date for \u201cevery month starting feb 1\u201d, the task will reset for March 1 even if I complete it on February 28. But I don\u2019t need to balance my account again just 3 days later. Instead, I can use \u201cevery!\u201d as in \u201cevery! month starting feb 1\u201d, and when I complete the task on February 28 the next date will be set for March 28.<\/p>\n<p>Using \u201cevery!\u201d in recurring dates is perfect for those tasks that need to be completed on a regular basis but not on a specific day.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6702\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.doist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/08-Every-recurring-due-date-syntax.png?resize=580%2C192&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"every recurring due date syntax\" width=\"580\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.doist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/08-Every-recurring-due-date-syntax.png 580w, https:\/\/blog.doist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/08-Every-recurring-due-date-syntax-352x117.png 352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"db-article__callout-note\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Todoist\u2019s smart task Quick Add recognizes more than just due dates.
