Application Examples
Two small examples of how to-do-go can make your life easier
- in the household
- before the holiday
- in the household
- before the holiday
In the Household
Whether you live with your family, in a shared flat or alone: create your own sphere for it, just say "family", "shared flat" or simply "household". There you can create the following categories:
Shopping Lists
If you notice that something is missing, just put it on the shopping list. And if another member of the sphere is about to go shopping, he / she sees immediately what has been bought and can bring it directly. An auto-completion and shopping history helps you to be able to quickly select purchased items by clicking. So it's done in no time even on mobile devices.
If you like, you can in addition to the name of the shopping also specify the content as in "eggs" as content "10 pieces" or shower gel "300 ml". In addition, you can also deposit the price of the product. There are two advantages to this: On the one hand, you will realize price increases directly if the quantity or price on the shelf differs from the entry in to-do-go. On the other hand, to-do-go also directly computes the appropriate final amount of your purchase, and you notice directly at the cash register whether the amount is correct or a special offer was not correctly stored in the cash register.
By the way: the shopping lists of to-do-go have an adaptive sorting. Each time you mark purchases as "done" in a particular order, their positions in the list will be reversed accordingly. So, to-do-go learns about the time in which order you usually get your purchases off the shelves and gives you the entries sorted according to that. So in the supermarket you will find the purchases in exactly the same order as they are in the shopping list.
Cleaning Rosters
It's best to create an own category "Cleaning Rosters", including a to-do list per room or weekday, depending on how you organize yourself here. So you can just go through the list point by point and forget nothing. And you always have an overview of what is still ahead of you. And if you can not clean the mirror, because the window cleaner is used up, put it right on the grocery list right away and just leave this task open. Do not worry, to-do-go reminds you that you do not forget to catch up.
Once you've created a cleaning plan as a to-do list, it's best to change it directly into a template and activate an automatic follow-up, such as "Reativate 60 days after completion", if you want to clean the windows every 2 months. Or "Reactivate 7 days after the due date" if you want to have a to-do list on a fixed day of the week. You can customize a template at any time just as you can customize a to-do list at any time. Be it in content or in the rhythm of automatic activation.
Dates and Commitments
Never forget to renew your passport or return the books to the library in good time. Capture everything as a to-do list, even if it has months left. It disappears from the scene with an activation date on the to-do list, and it's back promptly when you need it. Registering such commitments in the household sphere also has the advantage that if somebody has to go to the post office anyway, you can simply ask if he/she should take your parcel directly with you.
Joint appointments or activities can also be well planned with to-do-go. It gets even better with the upcoming update of to-do-go, when a scheduler comes along, where you can plan your own but also common appointments within your spheres,
Children
And you can playfully involve your children as well. Give them a separate account and appropriate rights to the common area so they feel included but can not fun mark purchases as completed or delete your to-dos. In their "private" sphere, they also have the opportunity to create their own play to-do lists or play shopping lists. Or an own sphere for the child, in which it can put together about a wish list for the birthday or Christmas.
In one of the next updates of to-do-go, quotas will be added that allow you to insert a pocket money account or a media time account. The contingent will be chargeable in a freely definable rhythm for a free amount, and your child can always see his/her account balance. Mom, I still get 14 bucks pocket money according to to-do-go. And today rather played with friends than gambled on the tablet? That should not be your damage, because over a media time contingent you can redeem your daily "free minutes" simply on one of the next days as they just increase your balance.
For the Holidays
Everything is different on vacation, including your to-do's. Therefore, you also best pack your holiday in a separate sphere. Spheres are interesting not only for groups of people but also for specific events. This allows you to easily prepare and disable the sphere outside the holiday season, with an automatic activation date, similar to to-do list templates. Then your other to-do lists will stay clearer if you are not permanently distracted from your vacation. Outside of this you can then create special categories for your holiday:
Packing Lists
"Honey, have you packed the bathing trunks?" ... such questions become superfluous with to-do-go. Because with a common packing list, you can not only write down your own things, but also shared, best grouped into different to-do list. So everyone can help think together, what needs to be packed, and everyone can see directly what has already been thought.
And when the time comes to pack your bags, you just grab your smartphone and stupidly pack everything that's on the packing list point by point. The holiday preparation can be so boring relaxed, you know this from your own experience certainly different, right?
Plan Trips
Just think in advance what you want to do or experience during your vacation. Just write it down and you will not forget it when you are on the way. That's how a holiday feeling comes up in advance.
Shopping Lists
And are you then on vacation, and buy in the local supermarket steaks, you probably want to have this shopping list also within the holiday sphere. Because if you add the purchases in your normal shopping list category, and you want to buy steaks again at home, the autocompleter would suggest the vacation's shopping market and the wanderlust packs you. That would be torture, right?
