Combine Todoist and Obsidian
LinkedIn Post
⚡ Faster, Smarter, Better: Todoist meets Obsidian ⚡
(a powerful combination of task management and personal knowledge management)
I use Todoist for managing my tasks.
I use Obsidian for my personal knowledge management.
Both tools are core components of my Second Brain.
But they weren’t integrated yet 🤔
Inspired by Ingmar Krusch, I explored ways to combine both tools.
I discovered the TODOIST SYNC Plugin for Obsidian.
After installing and experimenting with it,
I implemented two immediate use cases:
———
→ Task Creation: I create tasks while working in Obsidian.
The tasks you create link to your corresponding note.
→ Project Management:
I enriched my Map of Content for Projects with a list of open tasks.
Imported from Todoist.
(Learn more about Maps of Content in my previous post: https://lnkd.in/en3wh47B).
I created a template for the Todoist Filter.
⏱️🛠️ With that template you can embed task lists for new projects in 10 seconds.
🌟Immediate Benefits:
———
→ Faster Linking:
Link your notes and tasks with one command, eliminating manual steps
→ Centralized Tasks:
Manage in one place, display wherever you need.
Follow the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle.
→ Less Context Switching:
You can switch between tasks and notes without losing focus.
How do you manage your tasks?
Have you integrated your task manager yet?

I use Todoist for managing my tasks and Obsidian for my personal knowledge management. These tools are core components of my Second Brain, but they weren’t integrated—until now.
Inspired by Ingmar, I explored ways to combine both tools and discovered the TODOIST SYNC Obsidian Plugin. After installing and experimenting with it, I implemented two immediate use cases:
→ Project Management: I enriched my Map of Content for Projects with a list of open tasks, directly imported from Todoist. (Learn more about Maps of Content in my previous post: Maps of Content) → Task Embedding: I created a template for the Todoist Filter, allowing me to embed task lists for new projects in just 10 seconds. → Task Creation: Now, I can create tasks while working in Obsidian, and the newly created tasks automatically link to the corresponding note.

I use Todoist for managing my tasks. I use Obsidian for my personal knowledge management. Todoist and Obsidian are both core components of my Second Brain.
But they were not yet integrated. Based on an impulse by Ingmar I looked for a way to combine both tools. And I found the TODOIST SYNC Obsidian Plugin.
Installed, played with it and implemented 2 immediate use cases:
- I enriched my Map of Content for Projects with a list of open tasks. The lust is directly imported from Todoist (details about Maps of Content - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sebastiankamilli_i-use-3-powerful-approaches-to-organize-all-activity-7203651769107689473–5Hw?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop)
- To make that easy for next projects, I just created a Template for the Todoist Filter. Embedding the task list for next project can now be done in 10 seconds.
- I can now create tasks while working in Obsidian. The newly created tasks automatically links to my corresponding note.
Immediate benefit
- Less context switching
- Faster linking of Notes and Tasks. Took me some manual steps before and can now be done with one command.
- Tasks at one place, displayed in many. Following the Don’t Repeat Yourself principle
