I've found that the best workflow for my checkvist usage is through creating small lists with the right people shared. It's similar to a well-factored object oriented system: you have minimal responsibilities for each list and the right "interactions" with that responsibility and you end up with something very flexible and meaningful.

The problem I'm having: make sure I keep track of those lists. In reality I have a recurrence in my head of when I should review the list. My "Someday" list should only be reviewed once a week. My "network migration" list should be reviewed every day. My "home" list should be reviewed every 2-3 days. How do you suggest I manage this? With recurring tasks? A new feature?

Thanks for everything you do.

    Well, I'd suggest using recurring tasks for that.

    For instance, you create a master list titled "Lists for review" with links to your existing lists (use lst: smart syntax to insert a reference to existing list).
    Review [list A]
    Review [list B]
    Review [list C]

    For each of such "review" list items, you create a recurring task, using dr keyboard shortcut.

    After that enable Due notifications for this "Lists for review" list (see the envelope icon in the right part of the toolbar)

    I think this should work.

    That's a great idea Kirill, I think I'll try it. Thanks!

    I just set everything up and it looks great. I love the flexibility of the model. That is its true strength. Thanks again!

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
