Below are those instructions.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p><strong>Downloading and Installing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, search the Android Market for \u201cUltimate To-Do List.\u201d\u00a0 You will see \u201cLicense\u201d and a Free version. Get the Free for now. Add the License later to activate it beyond the trial version.<\/p>\n<p>Once installed on your Android, note that the icon\/title in your apps list says \u201cTo-Do List\u201d (without the word <em>Ultimate<\/em>\u2014some people get confused about that); click it to start the software and then do these configuration steps:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Configuring&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the first screen choose <em>Sync with an existing Toodledo.com Account<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The next screen asks you to name your account. Why? UTDL lets you create multiple \u201caccounts\u201d each with its own to-do list. This is useful if you have multiple ToodleDo web accounts for example and want to be able to swap between them on the fly (nice feature). So give this first account any name you want.<\/li>\n<li>Then input the email and password for your ToodleDo web account. It will sync.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It will then take you to a Fields\/Functions screen that offers \u201c<em>Keep it Simple<\/em>\u201d, \u201c<em>Intermediate Level<\/em>,\u201d and so on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Then, for 1MTD&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For my readers who are using the simple One Minute To-Do List system (1MTD), just do this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose <em>Intermediate<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Then at the main task screen click the big down arrow at the bottom right and <em>Sort By Priority<\/em> and <em>Then By Title<\/em>, <em>And Finally By None<\/em>. Click Save.<\/li>\n<li>And, simple 1MTD users, you are done!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For my more advanced MYN users<\/strong>, do this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At the Fields\/Functions screen Choose <em>Power User <\/em>(it\u2019s at the bottom).<\/li>\n<li>You are then going to clear green boxes next to a whole bunch of fields to remove those fields (if you are an experienced ToodleDo user you may have reasons to keep a few of these, I leave that to you). For MYN you can\/should <strong>remove<\/strong>: <em>Contexts, Expected Length, Folders for Notes, Folders for Tasks, Star, Start Time, Status, Subtasks, Tags, Timer<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>And then click <em>Continue<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Next, you will see a list of views. Click on <em>All Tasks<\/em>. You\u2019ll see your tasks, but we\u2019re not done yet.<\/li>\n<li>Let\u2019s add some sorting first. On the icon menu bar at the bottom click on the big down pointing arrow near the right. You want to set sorting to <em>Sort By Priority Highest First, Then By Start Date Latest First, And Finally By &lt;None<\/em>&gt;. Click <em>Save<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Next, we need to filter out tasks with future start dates. To do that, On the icon menu bar at the bottom of the task list click on the big Funnel icon. Click <em>Add Filter Rule<\/em>, then select <em>Start Date <\/em>from scrolling list. In the next screen leave everything as is and click <em>Save<\/em>. Then <em>Save <\/em>again.<\/li>\n<li>Now back at your tasks list, you are pretty much done. But here is one more (optional) setting: Click the hardware menu button and choose <em>Settings<\/em>. Click on <em>New Tasks Defaults <\/em>and set it to <em>Start Date Today, Due Date None, <\/em>and <em>Priority Medium<\/em>. Then click the hardware return button to get back to your tasks list.<\/li>\n<li>You are done now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For All Users<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Notice the color coding in the left edge for priority: orange is high, yellow is medium, and blue is low priority. If you <a href=\"..\/indicating-significant-outcomes-in-toodledo\">use Top priority for Significant Outcomes<\/a>, those will be red.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you enter the software, you&#8217;ll probably want to click on All Tasks; that&#8217;s now your 1MTD\/MYN tasks list.<\/p>\n<p>That should do it for now. Later I\u2019ll create a fancy narrated video showing all of the above and more; in that video I will also show some other optional settings. But that video will probably only be made available in one of my paid video courses (my accountant keeps telling me I am giving too much away for free; he\u2019s probably right!).<\/p>\n<p>Michael<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nov 15, 2011 I\u2019ve posted a couple times recently here and here about Ultimate To-Do List.
