Hi here,
I’m looking to optimize my workflow with todo. I would like to better understand the philosophy of task management in logseq as I am used to GTD. If a todo is scheduled, why do I only see it on the first day of the schedule and not during the whole period between the scheduled date and the due date?
agreed, or at least to be able to switch to see all open & upcoming scheduled todos…
You could solve this by adding a query to journal to pull those desired lists you mentioned, at the bottom of your journal. Join the Discord channel #datalog to see examples.
I think Logseq would work well with GTD (even though it’s not my main system for TODOs) You can have your contexts very easily as e.g. [[@office]]. I haven’t yet found an elegant way to deal with next steps though.
As for scheduling todos, I’m in the camp where I avoid doing that, and prefer only recording the due date. I can see that in my context anyway. What @danzu said would work great, too!
At the moment I’m experimenting with a custom configuration of default journal page to see 1/ late tasks (deadline today or past) 2/ scheduled tasks in progress.
:default-queries
{:journals
[{:title "📥 Inbox"
:query [:find (pull ?b [*])
:where
[?p :block/name "inbox"]
[?b :block/ref-pages ?p]]
:collapsed? true}
{:title "🔴 Deadline aujourd’hui ou dépassée !!"
:query [:find (pull ?block [*])
:in $ ?today
:where
[?block :block/marker ?marker]
[(contains? #{"DOING" "TODO" "WAITING"} ?marker)]
(or
[?block :block/deadline ?d])
[(<= ?d ?today)]]
:inputs [:today]
:collapsed? false}
{:title "🟢 Tâches planifiées ouvertes"
:query [:find (pull ?block [*])
:in $ ?today
:where
[?block :block/marker ?marker]
[(contains? #{"DOING" "TODO" "WAITING"} ?marker)]
(or
[?block :block/scheduled ?d])
[(<= ?d ?today)]]
:inputs [:today]
:collapsed? true}]}
All other tasks have an #inbox tag which implies that I process them to assign them a context ([[@office]]), completion dates and a link to a project (optional).
It works pretty well for the moment.
