Congrats

From an email I received yesterday:

Hey David,

Congrats, since you joined Todoist 9 years, 7 months, 1 day ago, you’ve already completed 0 tasks!

Productively!

The Todoist Team


I responded of course. It’s only polite.

Dear Todoist Team,
Thanks for keeping tabs on my achievements. And I appreciate the level of detail. Not even my daughter-in-law manages to remember the number of days!

I suspect, however, that you possibly overlooked the need to explain to AI Bot, whom you so kindly asked to send me this little love note, the meaning of the term “
Congratulations”.

Either that or you and AI Bot are having a little bit of fun with me! Surely not?

Anyway, your kind message made me smile at this earlier version of myself. Best intentions and all that!

Yours Procrastinatedly,
I. Didn’tist

ps. Although on reflection I do remember a couple of tasks I got done in that time period, so maybe the congratulations is in order after all. Are you
sure you haven’t got a record?
