Hi, since Agenda 19 introduces a powerful smart overview/advanced search function, I 'd like to know if there is anyone who use Agenda 19 or previous versions to manage their tasks. If it works, what is your setup? Thanks and wish you all a productive week.
I’d say (at least in combination with Apple Reminders for, mainly, recurring reminders). Each task becomes a note. It gets tagged (#tasks) and thus can be filterted in three simple saved searches, due/ongoing tasks (not checked, date before tomorrow, tag #tasks), all tasks (not checked, tag #tasks) and backlog (not checked, no date, tag #tasks).
The (task) notes reside in the appropriate Agenda projects which can either be actual projects or areas.
I use checklists everywhere in Agenda. It isn’t quite as formal as a true to-do app, but I think it works well, especially when projects can have very many tasks.
So I add checklists, using indentation to break down small sub-parts. If a task has a deadline, a add a reminder using \remind
A note tends to be a several day block of work, and a project is for the whole thing, which can be days, weeks or months.
We have some very cool stuff coming in Agenda 20 which will allow you to view just unfinished stuff, so that will help more.

@drewmccormack when is Agenda 20 coming?
Sorry for the wait. Working on it again now, after the yearly update for new iOS etc. Home straight, I hope…
- Is there a corresponding ‘quick’ action similar to \remind for Calendar items?
- Is there a TestFlight Beta for v20?
There is link-event, to link the note to an existing event. There isn’t anything to create a new event though AFAIK.
No beta yet, but it isn’t far away. Working on last pieces of the puzzle now.
@drewmccormack Did anyone told you lately, that you are doing a great job?
No….
You are doing a great job!!
