How Vocalist Makes Your Todoist Inbox Actually Useful Again

If you're like most Todoist users, your Inbox is a mess—an ever-growing pile of uncategorized, uncategorized, and sometimes unreadable task ideas. It's where good intentions go to die.

But with Vocalist, your Inbox becomes what it was always meant to be: a quick, frictionless place to capture ideas and act on them later.

Let’s talk about how Vocalist can breathe new life into your Todoist Inbox—and make it a true productivity ally.

📨 The Problem With the Traditional Inbox

The Inbox is meant to be a fast drop zone. But in reality:

• You forget to open the app when ideas strike.
• Typing out detailed tasks feels annoying in the moment.
• You delay inputting things—and forget them entirely.

The result? A bloated list of half-baked tasks like:

• “Follow up”
• “Meeting?”
• “Dinner thing Thursday?”

…which are basically useless.

🎙️ How Vocalist Fixes That

With Vocalist, you just say the full thought out loud—and it lands in your Inbox or a specific project, fully formatted.

Examples:

“Add ‘Email draft contract to Rachel’ to Inbox, due tomorrow.” “Add ‘Research noise-cancelling headphones’ to Inbox, low priority.” “Add ‘Book AirBnB for retreat’ to Inbox, due Friday.”

This keeps your thoughts clear and your Inbox instantly actionable.

3. Review Weekly With Less Stress

Since every voice-captured task is complete and contextual, your weekly review won’t feel like deciphering mystery notes.

✨ Inbox Transformation in Action

Before Vocalist:

• Inbox contains: “Blog?”, “Call Steve”, “flight!!!”
• You don’t remember what half of them mean.

After Vocalist:

• Inbox contains:

  • “Add ‘Write blog post about vocal productivity’ to Inbox, due Tuesday.”
  • “Add ‘Call Steve about Q3 goals’ to Inbox, due Friday.”
  • “Add ‘Book return flight for conference’ to Inbox, medium priority.”

Now you know exactly what to do, and when.
