[Learn Log] Using Logseq for task management and managing task queries!

[Ramses]

Awesome start of your learn log, JP!

I’m happy to see we have very similar goals. I also want to build better task management workflows with Logseq, and I want to nest my notes underneath the task itself. I already have some possible solutions in mind, which I’ll share soon in my learn log.

Since I put everything on the journal page, most built-in queries and journal tools “schedule” these tasks for the day I enter them, not the day that I need them done by. Many of my tasks don’t have a specific due date so I’d like to assign them a deadline of “#someday”. I’ve tried creating my own task template and writing my own queries, but so far task management isn’t working for me.

Are you able to share some screenshots? Maybe blur out some of the text itself (but please show any links or tags). That’ll help me and others to give better suggestions on how to structure your notes and queries.

When I get around to watching/reading the thing, I tend to take my notes in a sub-block under the task. Anecdotally I’ve found that I never come back and look at this stuff (or struggle to find it when I want it). Curious if other people have better workflows.

What tags/links do you add to these notes? And do you have a use for your notes in the future, for example, to get something done? Screenshots would help here as well.

I’ve spent TONS of time trying to write advanced queries and find them really difficult to troubleshoot when they don’t work as expected. I’d like to understand if would be possible to create some kind of a datalog/datomic query “debugger” that would allow a user to inspect the result at each step in an advanced query. I think this would really open up the power of Advanced Queries for logseq users!

This is really good product feedback, thank you. I’ll send our developers a link to your post.

Seeing where things go wrong in your query would definitely help the learning process. Short feedback loops = faster learning.
