Manage Joel's task system in Todoist. Triggers on: 'add a task', 'create a todo', 'what's on my list', 'today's tasks', 'what do I need to do', 'remind me to', 'inbox', 'complete', 'mark done', 'weekly review', 'groom tasks', 'what's next', or when actionable items emerge from other work. Also triggers when Joel mentions something he needs to do in passing — capture it.
