I’m still very new to obsidian - currently I’m trying to move my plant reminders from Emacs → Obsidian. To work with tasks, I’m using obsidian-tasks.
The basic problem is, that I have many reminders and having an overview is quickly getting impossible. To illustrate using 3 tasks:
# Plant Reminders
- [ ] Micans 🔁 every 12 days 📅 2022-11-16
- [x] Micans 🔁 every 12 days 📅 2022-11-04 ✅ 2022-11-04
- [ ] Philo 🔁 every 10 days 📅 2022-11-12
- [x] Philo 🔁 every 10 days 📅 2022-11-02 ✅ 2022-11-02
- [ ] Ficus 🔁 every 10 days 📅 2022-11-12
- [x] Ficus 🔁 every 10 days 📅 2022-11-02 ✅ 2022-11-02
Everytime I’m completing a task, a striked-out task appears, which pushes down the task below. This results in a very long list quickly…
What I’m trying to do
I’m basically just trying to keep having an overview of all my tasks, and a log separately. Something like this would be lovely:
# Plant Reminders
- [ ] Micans 🔁 every 12 days 📅 2022-11-16
- [ ] Philo 🔁 every 10 days 📅 2022-11-12
- [ ] Ficus 🔁 every 10 days 📅 2022-11-12
## Log
- [x] Micans 🔁 every 12 days 📅 2022-11-04 ✅ 2022-11-04
- [x] Philo 🔁 every 10 days 📅 2022-11-02 ✅ 2022-11-02
- [x] Ficus 🔁 every 10 days 📅 2022-11-02 ✅ 2022-11-02
In Emacs this was easily possible using habits:
** TODO Shave
SCHEDULED: <2009-10-17 Sat .+2d/4d>
:PROPERTIES:
:STYLE: habit
:LAST_REPEAT: [2009-10-19 Mon 00:36]
:END:
- State "DONE" from "TODO" [2009-10-15 Thu]
- State "DONE" from "TODO" [2009-10-12 Mon]
Since you could fold the TODO item, you can easily stow away the log of things.
I obviously checked the settings of obsidian-tasks, but nothing stood out to me - hope the goal is clear - any tips how you neatly organize a decent amount of tasks in a list would be appreciated, thx.
