ReaderTask: A Shortcut to Turn Readwise Reader Articles into Todoist Tasks
You may have noticed that I’ve been trying to be more consistent about sharing interesting articles found around the web on MacStories lately. Besides feeling energized by new topics we’re covering and some upcoming changes in my workflow, I’m doing this as part of a broader effort to continue making the MacStories homepage a frequent “destination” for our readers with more useful content every day.
Beyond hard work alone, behind this strategy lies a shortcut and dual-app system I’ve been using recently: to make sure I don’t forget to link to stuff, I’ve created a workflow to simultaneously save an article I want to read in Readwise Reader and create a task in Todoist that points directly to that article. I call this shortcut ReaderTask, and it takes advantage of both the Readwise Reader and Todoist web APIs to allow me to save a link in two places in just a couple of seconds.
