To-dos - Creating, Editing, and Turning on Email Reminders
The To-dos are the tasks that we commit to completing during the Weekly Meeting. To-dos are seven-day action items and are generally taken during your Weekly Meeting.
The goal is to complete at least 90% of your To-dos each week as these have been identified as the most important things to accomplish.
Creating a To-do during a meeting
There is a New To-do button in the meeting itself just under the menu bar at the top that allows you to assign the To-do to any attendee of your Weekly Meeting.
You can even assign a To-do to multiple people (not a shared To-do; each user will get their own To-do).
Important:
For Metrics, Goals, Headlines, and Issues, towards the right side of each of these items is a checkbox, these are the Context-Aware To-do buttons and will include information about the item inside the newly created To-do.
Creating a To-do Outside of a meeting
- You can view all of the current Weekly Meeting content through the Edit Meeting section.
- Click Meetings in the top menu bar
- Click Edit Meeting on the gear icon button to the right of your meeting
- Click To-dos on the left to view/edit/archive active To-dos
- Add new To-dos one by one by clicking the blue + at the bottom right, fill in the basic information to create the To-do, and click Save.
- If you have a list of To-dos, you can upload them all at once instead of adding them individually. To upload your To-dos all at once, click on the Upload To-dos button at the top right corner of the section:
- If you have a file with the To-do List you can upload it by clicking on where it says ‘No File chosen’, selecting your file, clicking on Submit, and following the instructions.
- You can also use our template, click on the green button that says ‘Download Template’. Fill the template with the information you want to upload to your Bloom Growth account and save the changes you made to the file (Save the file in CSV format). Then, click on where it says ‘No File chosen’, select the file, click on Submit, and follow the instructions.

To-do Email Reminder
To ensure you stay informed about upcoming and overdue tasks, our system automatically sends to-do reminder emails 24 and 48 hours before a to-do is due, and subsequently, on each day that a to-do remains past due. These reminders are designed to help you manage your tasks effectively. However, we understand that preferences may vary, and if you wish to opt out of receiving these reminders, you can easily do so. The to-dos are consistently accessible within the software, allowing you to review them at your convenience. If you prefer not to receive reminder emails, simply follow the steps below to adjust your notification settings:
