I use the [[Obsidian Tasks]] plugin to manage tasks across my [[Obsidian]] vault. Tasks can live in any note and are queried dynamically in my daily notes. ## Task format Tasks follow a specific format with inline metadata of [[Obsidian Tasks]] and some added attributes that [[TaskForge]] inherited from [[Todoist]], where: - `@context` - The context for the task (e.g., `@work`, `@personal`). Defaults to `personal` if not specified. - `+[[Project]]` - A wiki link to the project note, prefixed with `+`. - `🛫` - Start date (when you can begin working on it) - `⏳` - Scheduled date (when you plan to work on it) - `📅` - Due date (deadline) - `➕` - Creation date (when the task was added) ## Daily note integration Each daily note includes a "Today's Tasks" block that shows relevant tasks for that day. The query filters tasks that: 1. **Started on or before that day** - Tasks you can work on (with a start date set) 2. **Scheduled for that day** - Tasks you planned to do that day 3. **Due on or before that day and not done** - Overdue tasks plus tasks due that day 4. **Completed that day** - To see what you accomplished Tasks completed before the day are excluded from the start and scheduled filters, so they don't keep appearing on future days. Tasks are grouped by **Context > Project** and sorted by **priority** within each group. To keep the list clean, the following elements are hidden: all date fields (start, scheduled, due, done, created, cancelled) and tags. [[TaskForge]] is configured to also input, as a default location, new tasks on the daily notes. Each task is added to a heading that is folded by default, thanks to the [[Creases Plugin|Creases plugin]]: there is no need for me to see it, since the [[Obsidian Tasks]] view will show them to me if they are relevant to today. ## Using it from the phone I used to have a similar setup that I abandoned because using [[Obsidian]] on the phone was, at the very best, suboptimal. Today, however, I use [[TaskForge]] for [[iOS]], which is able to interpret all my notes and gather the tasks in a structured app, that provides widgets and notifications.
