Hello everyone,
I know that sometimes it is necessary to use a second or third application, but I would like to avoid this and work exclusively with Devonthink/DTTG and my calendar app, eliminating other apps such as Todoist and Notion.
I am interested in the experience/methods and setup you have for task and project management. So far, I haven’t found a good workaround for myself. But maybe some of you are already doing this and can share your experiences. Thanks a lot
I find it can be as simple as having a list of folders in a projects folder or tag. If you’re folder-oriented, you can pull folders into one project folder with links or replicants. I actually have multiple projects folders, e.g. I have a folder of in-progress proposals and each proposal is essentially a project. Since it contains all the material, the project status is self-describing. That’s in addition to folders for ongoing projects that have been approved.
Since this is a document-oriented workflow you can use fields/flags/labels/filenames/tags to mark which documents need to be worked on or contain undone tasks (e.g. meeting notes in markdown with action items), and you can work out of a smart group of these files.
I don’t try to generate lists or tables of tasks; others might.
My task notes are stored/organized in Devonthink
tagged as required; Status, Due-Date, Priority, Project-id
Task lists are generated via a smart group
For a gantt timeline view, I export the task list to a spreadsheet using an applescript
Each project has a unique tag.
An applescript generates Table of Contents notes for each active project
Smart Group for Active Tasks
