my sense is that your system works best as a recap of what has been accomplished and the tasks are more higher level - like project milestones rather than every task. I have hear you mention that you have integrated TodoIst into your Obsidian workflow which makes sense for someone with a lot going on. I think the beauty of GTD is it can help me avoid overwhelm. I can plan out a project, look at all the tasks, I can make to-do lists, but at some point there is a gap between managing the system and doing the work. My mind works well on what to do, but processes which help me prioritize and focus on keeping the projects moving forward to achieve the next milestone is very helpful. This system seems to have enough flexibility to allow for that - detail if required but it isn't demanded. There are projects that seem to demand detail and some that just need some brute force to get them completed. 2 minute rule, etc... Quickly logging "dones" accomplished based on significance builds momentum for me. I look at a project and I usually know what's next, or most important. I get lost in the tracking. so basically, thanks for this and for keeping things focused and fairly simple, while allowing for complexity.
Let me start by saying that I truly appreciate all your comments! Please continue stress-testing everything I'm preaching; that's what will help make my system better as well. :) As for tasks, they're not a big deal for me. I generally have a good sense of what the "next" task for a project should be. However, I understand that others rely heavily on a robust task management system, and I don't think Obsidian is quite there yet for that purpose. When it comes to projects, the most important thing for me is not to lose any "useful" information, even if I'm working on it sporadically. That's why I find the "sprint" methodology of tracking efforts particularly valuable. After each sprint, I can clearly see the "tasks" I accomplished. Stay hydrated!
Hi there. I'll look into it. For the most part I am trying to keep it as simple as possible for other people to understand the basics of Obsidian without getting overwhelmed. But appreciate the new plugins to play around with!

Please use metabind plugin and modal forms.

Looks great!!
Perhaps creating a Canvas for each Project would also help as a Birdseye view.
Nice...I'm a fan of your channel.....
Thanks for being here!
