Daily Productivity Hacks for Freelancers

Don’t create a separate task system for every AI tool. Keep one task in Todoist and connect Todoist to your different AI tools through MCP connectors.

Now you can retrieve, update, and manage your Todoist tasks from the AI tools you’re already working in, simply by prompting them. No more manually switching back to Todoist. No more remembering what you did in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude. Just tell your AI to update the task.

I might start a task in ChatGPT for content or an image, move to Perplexity for research, then switch to Claude for browser or computer work. Each AI does its part, while the same Todoist task keeps everything connected.

That is the productivity hack:

One task. Multiple AI workers. One place to keep track.

Todoist isn’t the only option. If you’re working in a larger team, platforms such as ClickUp’s MCP integration can bring the same idea into a team workspace.

This also connects with what I’ve been experimenting with at WorkSmarto—using AI and MCP to remove the manual steps between thinking about work and actually getting it done. How WorkSmarto Automates Emails, Tasks and Site Management.

The simple rule:

One task. Different AI workers. One place to keep track.
