Weekly Roundup 5 - Godspeed App, Another Roundup, Car Problems, Butterflies
ToDo App Update
I’ve been using Todoist for quite a while (Apple Reminders before that), but I recently stumbled across Godspeed. It has a lot of essential things for me such as recurring based on scheduled date OR completion date, adding tasks to any list via email, and a fully working API.
In less than 1 hour, I was able to create an account, migrate everything from Todoist (flawlessly), and create a public facing page for our organization that displays a public list of actionable items using the API. To accomplish all of that so quickly and easily says a lot about the quality of Godspeed.
If you’re currently using Todoist, Things, Omnifocus, or Apple Reminders, I highly recommend Godspeed. The developer, Daniel de Haas, also responds lightning fast to any inquiries.
To make it even better, Godspeed provided me with a 25% off offer for your subscription. They did not reach out to me, and this is not sponsored. I simply found a product that has impressed me and wanted to share.
Another Roundup
My wife, Kalena, has started a Monthly Roundup. It’s much more detailed and photo-heavy than mine. She’s better at it.
Car Dealership Rant
My wife drives a Kia Carnival, an excellent vehicle in our opinion. A few weeks ago our local dealership called us to schedule a couple of minor recalls. I scheduled the appointment well in advance. I drive across town to the appointment, wait for 2 hours as they supposedly perform the scheduled work, only to be informed that they didn’t have the parts and would have to order them.
So they called me to schedule the appointment, knew about it for weeks, knew what is was for, checked me in, and had me wait for 2 hours before they realized they’d need the right parts. I finally accept my fate, ask for the new appointment and am told the person responsible for scheduling is off and will contact me the next day (which has not yet happened).
I kept my calm, voiced my dispappointment, talked to a manager, and basically got dismissed. Car dealerships, am I right?
