I don’t think any person inside the company has ever seen me stressed.

Scale a company to 70 people and juggle many different responsibilities as founder and CEO without feeling overwhelmed. Since then, I've used this system to build a fully remote company of over 70 people and create a platform that has helped millions of people accomplish some pretty amazing things. That’s where Todoist and Systemist were born. I knew I needed a system to manage my life. As a result, I was unorganized, stressed out, and barely able to keep up. On top of a full class load, I also had a lot of personal projects and two part-time jobs. I was living in a dorm room in Aarhus, Denmark, studying computer science. I first came up with Systemist and started building Todoist in 2007 while at university. But our work, personal lives, and the world we live in are too complicated to just hope that all the balls we're juggling will stay in the air. A reliable system can help you prioritize the important things and juggle many things at once without feeling overwhelmed. The truth is that most people don’t use a personal productivity system. I like to think of it as a simplified GTD built for the modern world. I want to share a system I've perfected over the past 13+ years that has helped me achieve my goals while reducing my stress. My name is Amir Salihefendić and I'm the founder and CEO of Doist, the company behind Todoist.
