How I’m setting up my new Todoist & Notion Integrated Workflow

I have written frequently about the trouble with connecting Todoist and Notion in parallel, as well as the inefficiency of working in two separate productivity systems and having to manually update them both when I have connected projects.
For example, I have wanted to create a live-updating habit tracker in Todoist to check off tasks specifically, but have that reflect in Notion in a pretty, visual way. However, going back and forth between both products to update both felt quite tedious.
I have also lamented wanting to visualize my content calendar freely but also create action items to keep track of where I am for each article or story. It would be really helpful to keep things pretty in Notion and actionable (but not overwhelming) in Todoist.
Initially, I was looking at how to “sync blocks” to embed Todoist lists into Notion, or just copy and paste tasks, but quite honestly, I use Todoist significantly more than Notion on a day-to-day basis. I have Todoist up all the time on my computer, but check Notion maybe once every few days or once a week to plan monthly/weekly goals. I prefer to use Notion as something I can use to get on track of the bigger picture and not having to constantly update it would be ideal for me.
