    About not being able to add comments to tasks. This is what I do: 1. Use one task per note, or one task per note heading. 2. Put the task first at the beginning of the note or heading 3. Add whatever I want under the task. 4. Using templater, I created a date/time template and put it on a hot key. Now, every time I want to add something to the task, I write below and begin with inserting the current timestamp.

    I thought a map of content was just a way of collecting together a dynamic list of notes on a particular TAG, and was getting frustrated that you were not telling me how to use some community pug in to achieve a list of files. Listening to this I I realise that this would be entirely against the philosophy of my learning, I want to engage with my reading via effective note taking not mechanise it. Your use of a purpose Title of the Map of Content really does focus my thinking. What I also realise is my own antipathy towards religion also almost lost me the opportunity to listen to your incredibly useful insights. This is a prejudice is something you have helped me realise - thank you so much.

    This looks like such a good idea. I need to repeatedly follow a complex set of steps to impliment a project. I got as far as setting up tasks and my Master Task List. When I 'quickadd a new task', I get a message: QuickAdd: (ERROR) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'apiV1') I know apiV1 is part of the js code inside the tasks plugin that you added. What should I do? I just bought your course. Maybe I should do that first. I wish I could find the complicated codes in your Canban setup to track these tasks in your vault download. Maybe it is coming? I hope so.

    @sem_pyat_sem_pyat Місяць тому

    Well, actually you can attach notes to tasks. Just create a note with all the required context and create tasks in this note. Provided that I personally use dataview to merge tasks for a day, it works perfect and you can quickly open the note from a task. And it actually makes a lot of sense theoretically. Because it you need to put context to your task, this means that this task is not decomposed enough for your brain monkey (kudos to Tim Urban). In that case your task is actually a project and for that I prefer to create a separate note. You put context, relevant information and a bunch of tasks for this project to be completed.

    • @MikeSchmitz
      @MikeSchmitz Місяць тому

      Yes, but that makes it harder to add tasks and requires you navigate to that note and add tasks to the appropriate section (or create QuickAdd macros for every note you want to add tasks to). If that works for you, awesome 😊 but I chose to optimize for something else (simplicity in adding tasks). I’ve tried to manage tasks the way you’re describing, and it never clicked for me until I disconnected from thinking about locations for tasks and keeping them in one giant list.

It worked great but I'm having a little trouble here. The issue is that my recurring tasks don’t show up in the upcoming days until I’ve completed the most recent one. For example, my scheduled gym sessions occur every Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday - they don’t show up on my list for upcoming weeks until I’ve checked off this week’s. Is there a way to have all the upcoming recurrences show? Thank you!

      You do lose notifications with this system. Honestly, I’m ok with that (my phone is permanently in DND), but I get why that won’t work for some people. You could craft queries to show you tasks that are coming up, but other than checking your lists you won’t be able to get reminders. If that’s important to your workflow though, I’d recommend something like Todoist and use the Todoist Sync plugin instead. That way you can get notifications and reminders via the Todoist app on your phone but still embed tasks in Obsidian.

    Absolutely awesome. The canvas idea is like creating your own Kanban, but with much more flexibility. I've already applied it to my Obsidian. Thanks!!

      Agreed! It's so flexible. Glad you liked it 🙂

    Thanks for the javascript quick capture. I used a normal quick capture until then because I also wanted to capture to a central task log. I started with a canvas, but ended up using a not with callouts, for mobile compatibility.

      Tasks queries in custom callouts bring me way more joy than they really should 🙂

    Thank you Mike! What do you do with the Master Task List? Do you delete the tasks that are completed? And when yes, do you do it on a weekly basis or every day?

      I do not. I mark as complete so they disappear from the lists, but the secret is to never look at that list 😂 That's just the place things get captured to. Try to forget that note exists. After awhile, looking at it will just be frustrating anyways because it will be thousands of lines long.

    This is really helpful, thanks! I'm not a coder, but I'm doing my best to follow your instructions. I've downloaded your test vault that the link above sent me to, but I don't see the CSS Quotebook snippet you've mentioned. And I have no idea how to "modify the .internal-query ...". Is there any way you can explain that or point me to the CSS snippet? And thanks so much for all your videos and tips!
