Recurring checklists using Org Mode in Emacs

• brylie 2y ago
  I’ve recently started using Google Workspace to organize documents and do collaborative work. I still haven’t figured out much for organizing tasks beyond using Google Sheets tables feature. Is there a better way to organize (sometimes recurring) tasks with checklists, similar to what this article describes but using Google Workspace?

  There is also M-x org-reset-checkbox-state-subtree Another list/checkbox related package I use is org-autolist, it saves a lot of typing when adding many list items or checkboxes at once. There is currently an issue that keeps it working quite right with current Org versions and a PR with a fix. https://github.com/calvinwyoung/org-autolist https://github.com/calvinwyoung/org-autolist https://github.com/calvinwyoung/org-autolist/pull/26 https://github.com/calvinwyoung/org-autolist/pull/26

  It was the habits part of org-mode that initially interested me. Being able to schedule a task to repeat every "3 to 7 days" that kept timestamps and was all plain text based? It was the gateway features that got me hooked on Emacs. There was an osx/macOS app that did something similar to the habits in org-mode, but I've forgotten the name of it. Was around from the mid 00s and had a colourful grid showing those times you missed the habit, habits on track, etc. I'm writing this in case anyone remembers it, I hate forgetting stuff!

  Very cool! I've built a very similar plugin for Obsidian. Recurring checklists are one of the secret weapons in my organisational toolbox. https://github.com/lhansford/obsidian-checklist-reset https://github.com/lhansford/obsidian-checklist-reset
