Daily journal style entry but how to indicate things are 'stale'

Help

What I’m trying to do

I have a list of 20 things to do daily. In truth, I have no expectation to do them all daily but I want to track if one is getting skipped a lot.

So the list might look like this on my Daily and at the end of the day I log as such.

  • learning goals🎓: nothing today

  • 2nd brain maintenance🎓: nothing today

  • reinforce Master Controller: 20 minute focus

  • social interaction🌍 happening at the brunch

  • online social interaction🌍 discord

  • good conversation: not today

  • **pickleball🥒: nope

  • **play PC🖥️: no

What I would like is to know, when I fire up the next daily from my daily template, is that those that were skipped have some indication that they need attention. If you are familiar with (I think it was todoist?) they are getting ‘stale’ and start to reflect such.

Any thoughts on how to approach this?

First I would set a measure after how many days of being dismissed an acticity should be called “stale”, lets call it daysOfVoid.
Then I’d query my daily notes sorted by date descending, limited to the number of daysOfVoid and only counting results as corresponding-habit-content where the corresponding habit has some valuable content.
In my daily note template I’d write something like this:

  • <Your inline dataview query like outlined above including choice(corresponding-habit-content, "", "⚠")> corresponding habit: nothing today

This should result in an exclamation mark (or any indicator to your likes) being added as prefix to every habit where your dataview query resulted in an empty list, whereas no indicator is shown on habits you haven’t dismissed for the number of daysOfVoid days.

Hope this will get you started on finding your individual solution.

Another option could be to use habit tracker 21, make a habit for each of your targets, and use the visual graph to see when you’ve skipped either of your habits. This could display the when you’ve done either of the habits in a customised time frame, like the last month.
