Hello and thank you for this request.
I am specifically interested in topics around task management, because that is also my main usecase with Logseq.
May I briefly explain how I currently handle it:
-
For each major task I create a separate tag in the form
#task.ProjectName.Topic.date. -
Since each tag also has its own page, there is also a page for each major task.
-
On this page I have the following structure as content:
-
[#C] #BACKLOG.task description (what is the task about)
Info / Links
- some infos and links regarding this task
ToDos
- TODO Name → do something
- TODO Name → so something else
Protocol
- ┤date├ detailed infos about what was going on over time
What do I do, when this task has been completed? → I rename the page (the tag) and replace the word “task” with “done”.
#task.ProjectName.Topic.date becomes #done.ProjectName.Topic.date
This renaming has the effect that when searching for tasks (“open tasks”), these entries no longer appear and wherever there was previously #task.xyz, there is now the tag done.xyz - a clear indication that this task has been completed.
So I mimic something like you requested - I coded the state of the task/page into the page title. Starting pages with “task” or “done” is something like your request to mark whole pages as TODOs.
I’m not sure I’d prefer that. Because then there is a mixture between todos as individual steps to a task/project and the status of the task/project itself. A query for open todos would then perhaps return both open projects and open individual tasks.
But perhaps this problem could be solved simply by defining a separate workflow (separate status definition) for the status of the pages. Something like what is generally suggested here:
I find the suggestion really interesting (even though I currently have a different solution) and am curious to see if there will be any progress on this.
Perhaps one more comment on
As you can see from the structure above, I have specifically grouped all todos in one section. For the task management of projects I have deliberately decided not to distribute the totos of projects arbitrarily.
I handle this quite differently than in the journal, where information that accumulates throughout the day is mixed with small todos and where the journal queries are very important for me.
I hope this has helped to get the discussion going.
