What Jimmy does with your Todoist
| Reads | Writes — only once you say so |
|---|---|
| Active tasks, dates, priorities, labels, projects | Creates the tasks you dictated or typed in Telegram |
| What is overdue and what has been postponed | Sets the CALM marking with labels and priorities |
| The history of closed tasks | Moves dates at the evening Closing |
The last word is always yours: Jimmy proposes — you decide. Bulk changes never happen without confirmation.
How the four axes map onto Todoist fields
The method asks for no new tools — the four coordinates map onto the native fields of Todoist:
| Axis | In Todoist |
|---|---|
| Level — what happens if you don't do it | The native priority: P1 — Key · P2 — Important · P3 — Regular · no priority — the Freezer |
| Change — moves you forward or holds your position | Labels Grow / Stay |
| Area — work or life | Labels Work / Life |
| Mode — whose next move it is | Labels Do / Delegated / Waiting |
Your own labels and projects are left alone. The marking is done by Jimmy — what it needs from you is nods, not work.
A day with Jimmy and Todoist
- Morning. Jimmy reads the list, marks what is new and brings the Day Focus — three tasks by the 2+1 rule. The next three are the Bonus.
- During the day. New tasks go in by text or by voice straight from Telegram — Jimmy puts them into Todoist already marked.
- Evening. The Closing: what is done, what carries over. Zero overdue by morning, right there in the tracker.
What stays yours
- The tasks. They live in your Todoist account, not in a Jimmy database. Switch the assistant off and the list stays complete and marked.
- The access. The connection runs on a personal Todoist token that you can revoke at any moment.
- The data. The analysis runs on the Claude API (Anthropic) — the data is not used for model training. We store the minimum: settings and context. Details in the privacy policy (in Russian).
Frequently asked
Do I need a paid Todoist?
No. A free account is enough: the method needs priorities, labels and dates — all of them are in the free plan. No account yet? We will set one up together when you connect — it takes a couple of minutes.
I use Notion, Asana or plain notes. Will it work?
Right now Jimmy works on top of Todoist. Integrations with other systems are on the roadmap. Tell us which one you use — it affects the order.
Will Jimmy move my tasks into its own database?
No. Jimmy does not store your tasks and does not make you migrate — the list stays in Todoist. It solves a different problem: not "where do I keep my tasks" but which of them to do today.
What happens to my projects and labels?
Nothing. The project structure stays yours and your personal labels are untouched. The CALM marking is added on top — with the labels Grow/Stay, Work/Life, Do/Delegated/Waiting and the native priorities.
What if I mark a task wrong?
Marking is nods, not philosophy: the axes have defaults (Stay · Regular · Do) and a three-second rule. A mistake is easy to fix tomorrow, and the method does not break over one inaccurate label.
