The Easiest Way to Stay on Top of Your Weekly Goals - Vocalist + Todoist


You start every week with good intentions: “This week I’ll finally stay organized.” But by Wednesday, your task list is scattered, your inbox is overflowing, and you’re not even sure what your top priority is anymore.

Sound familiar?

The truth is, the key to staying on top of your goals isn’t working harder—it’s reducing friction. And that’s exactly where Vocalist, your voice-powered assistant for Todoist, comes in.


🎯 Why Weekly Planning Fails (Without the Right Tools)

Let’s be honest. We all want to plan better. But…

That’s where Vocalist changes everything. By letting you speak your tasks into Todoist, you keep your goals front and center—without losing momentum.


✅ How to Use Vocalist to Crush Your Weekly Goals

Here’s a simple framework using Vocalist to set and stay aligned with your weekly intentions:


1. Voice-Dump Your Week Every Monday

Start your week with a spoken brain dump.

Say:

“Add ‘Prepare Q2 presentation,’ ‘Review new hire applications,’ and ‘Plan team offsite’ to Work project.”

Get it all out of your head—without ever touching your keyboard.


2. Assign Deadlines with Natural Speech

Say:

“Add ‘Send budget update to finance’ due Thursday, high priority.”

You speak like a human. Vocalist handles the formatting.


3. Batch Your Focus Days

Create theme days with specific tasks.

Say:

“Add ‘Design new client onboarding flow’ to Wednesday.” “Add ‘Catch up on Slack threads’ every Friday afternoon.”

This keeps your week organized around energy, not just urgency.


4. Set Recurring Weekly Anchors

Don’t recreate the wheel. Set recurring tasks once and forget them.

Say:

“Add ‘Weekly team check-in agenda’ every Monday at 9 AM.” “Add ‘Run analytics report’ every Friday.”


5. Use Vocalist Midweek to Recalibrate

Falling behind? Don’t abandon the plan—adjust it.

Say:

“Reschedule ‘Finalize proposal’ to next Tuesday.” “Change priority of ‘Write blog draft’ to medium.”

Vocalist keeps your plan agile and accurate with just your voice.


🧘‍♂️ Bonus: Reduce Stress by Capturing as You Go

You’ll feel more focused and less scattered when you offload tasks as they come up.

Say anytime:

“Add ‘Send follow-up to Megan’ to Today.” “Add ‘Buy gift for Alex’s birthday’ to Personal, due Saturday.”
