On having a TODO note
Usually, the people who are “Daily Notes” practitioners also like tagging their entries with [[TODO]] or #task. I recommend using a different app to fully manage your projects and tasks.
But if you won’t be deterred, here is a way to handle tasks in markdown.
[[TODO]]- Use this to manage your tasks#task- Use a tag like this if you don’t want to rely on backlinks to surface tasks or muddy up your graph with task-related connections.[[done]]- Change[[TODO]]to[[done]]if you care about keeping a log the stuff you’ve completed.
Just to reiterate, I prefer to not clutter my ideas with tasks. Ideas are built for long-term value; whereas tasks provide very short-term value. Also, people who are led by a task manager cut off their intuition.
