Beyond “On the Agenda"

Thanks!

I’m now trying this:

A recurring all day event in my calendar called ‘To do Today’, which is linked to a Note (in ‘Other Projects’ ‘General’) called ‘Key tasks’.

In this note I have the following headings:

  • today
  • every week
  • this week
  • next week
  • soon

I’ve set up this note before, but have been bad at keeping it up dated because it got lost from sight.

Hopefully now I’ll see the link to this in my calendar within Agenda every day, and that will prompt me to review and revise it regularly. I’ll move items between the headings.

‘Every week’ has a link to note with various recurring admin tasks, and a saved search on a tag ‘Admin’ to pick up Admin tasks within projects.

Setting this up just now, and reviewing my notes, I’ve found it much easier once I did the reviewing on my iPad and writing the note on my Mac! (Pop up window please!)

I’ll see how it goes!

EDITED TO ADD:

I’ve now added #Action to this note, so that other notes with that tag show up in ‘related notes’. This should be helpful for reviewing. I try to use #Action in notes to indicate an important task, which may often have several checklist items associated.

I’m also going to try to be more rigourous about tagging people in notes, so that when I add ‘call @JohnDough’ to my todo list, related notes will show in the side bar.

Edited to add more:
It’s now the day after, and I’m finding that Agenda doesn’t handle the date of a note linked to a recurring event as I expected. Posted in support forum.
