Following is a list of things I can do with a no plugins, no Org or Emacs plain text planner, in Obsidian (with saved search queries). Honestly, why would I bother using a dedicated app or learning Emacs!
What about reminders? Vital events have an alarm or reminder set on my phone. For everything else, my habit of *checking the list every single day* works brilliantly. (thread…)
(…thread) Here's what I can do with a raw text task and time management system, in #Obsidian:
- See today's agenda next to my morning checklist
- See repeating tasks on the day, week, or month I've assigned them to
- See a calendar for the month, with each day / week a clickable link
- See tasks by category, time, creation date
- Enter tasks quickly on any device, without opening Obsidian
- Keep a list of someday tasks and ideas that don't get in the way of daily must-dos
- Smile, daily
Here's my (redacted) #PlainTextPlanner schedule from yesterday, in #Obsidian. I love the blending of mindfully entered events/todos with pre-scheduled tasks!
Also, it's super helpful to divide the day into 5 broad time blocks. 06, 09, 12, 15, 18. It gives structure and flexibility, and allows for easy shifting of entries between time blocks.
06 = 6-9 am, 18 = 6-9 pm.
@ellane I wish I could use text files as a to-do list! The problem is I keep forgetting to check them and once I am on a desktop my mind has a hard time not clicking to another place, so I use a combo of physical planner and digital tools.
That said, what's the tool you're using? It looks cool!
