My new templates for #Obsidian, both for project management and note taking, are turning out quite good actually.

Have apparently made a lot of insights on how I want to structure things over the last year or so, while Obsidian and the plugin ecosystem have matured a lot.

@anders Curious to learn what parts of project management you place in #obsidian .
I have loved it for (meeting) notes and relating that to projects or people. Tracking timing has not worked for me yet.

@drdoewie @anders I use it for structuring tasks (todo lists), tracking them (kanban boards) and designing whatever the project is about; I think at the simplest level you would:

* quickly note down tasks (using the Tasks plugin makes it super convenient and useful!)
* make Kanban Boards (each card is a task internally!) to track them
* graphs with Canvas or Mermaid

Having all this information as tasks make it easy to extract and display in any way (e.g., with Dataview)

@lucabello @drdoewie You are using Tasks and Kanban in tandem? Visualising the tasks as card on a board? Didn’t know that was possible!

@anders @drdoewie This way you can use the Kanban Board but still access the tasks from elsewhere! 🎉

@lucabello @drdoewie Will definitely have a look at this! Do you know of any good guides on how you integrate the two?

@anders @drdoewie Not really, but I'll write something up tomorrow and ping you if you'd like!

@lucabello @drdoewie That would be super! I can't find any good links when searching the interwebs.

I highly encourage you to try out the custom status for tasks, it can be extremely useful!

Using Kanban Boards and Tasks

Whenever I start a personal project (and believe, that happens a lot) I find it extremely useful to break it down into tasks; additionally, as any software person will know, Kanban Boards are great tools to track the status of tasks.

@lucabello @drdoewie Looks really clever!
