Task Management

MahmoudFahiem

Hello all, if task management in Apple Notes is discouraged by the Forever Notes framework, how could we manage tasks in for example Apple Reminders and link to our journal (daily logs) for reflections and notes, also linking it to our projects

please give examples

This may be helpful to provide UUIDs of reminders entries

I like to keep long term tasks on the ✱ Home note or appropriate project and area hubs. Date and time sensitive tasks go in Calendar. I've never used Reminders.

Out of curiosity I experimented with tying Reminders to Notes. You can select text and, via the Share sheet, send it to the Reminder app. Works but not especially useful in my opinion. I searched YouTube for advice. One video recommended creating a Shortcut that splits the screen between Notes and Reminders. (Create a new shortcut, search for the Split Screen Apps action which gives you the chance to choose two apps.) I added my split-screen shortcut to the Share sheet, works a charm. You can also add it to the device's Home Screen.

I came up a Shortcuts Automation that automatically appends all my daily tasks to my journal from the day. The idea is not so much I'm managing the tasks from Apple Notes,.

F✱N Journal has become the first place I begin and regularly check to make sure I'm on top of things. I would still input and manage the completion of tasks in Reminder. I started working on it this morning and 6 hours later for such a little thing to include the Tasks Items and the notes. I hope it's helpful. Every Saturday or Sunday, I copy and paste my calendar entries into the journal notes as well.

If anyone knows how to add the ability to link back to the items in Reminders for easier managing of them from the F✱N Framework, I would appreciate it.

Toolbox Pro has that ability for reminders and calendar items as well. Integrates worth and adds some great functionality to Apple Shortcuts.

Just found this looking around the forum - several useful things including his Daily Reminders Shortcut.

FWIW I am a GTD practitioner so I am focused on capturing items of actionable interest/concern and identifying the discrete next action to make progress. I use notes to capture, clarify, organize items of interest/concern with appropriate tagging and links to hubs. When a relevant next action is defined I create a linked reminder and then use the reminder app to manage execution. I use the split screen on an iPad with both Notes and Reminders to review status/progress.

Garbonzo I’ll check it out, thanks!

hello all, I suggest adding a link to today’s tasks in my Today’s Notes instead of copying them.

Tasks: A link keeps things dynamic and avoids duplication.

For events:

I automated copying all daily events into Today’s Notes for reflection (notes, ideas, feelings).

Calendar: Future planning.

Today’s Notes: What happened and reflections

How do you create a dynamic link to do that? That would be neat, but I could not figure that out.
