Copying tasks into Day Planner

[bikingbadger]

Hi all. I have a setup for hacking my tasks into Day Planner. It is unfortunately a copy as I can't see any other way to get the two to play nice together. But basically I use the Tasks for managing my tasks and then Day Planner for the day to day layout.

Task setup

I've setup my tasks to use the #task hashtag and this is an example of what it looks like:

- [ ] Clean the house #task 📅 2021-06-08 ^3289752828 

As you can see there is also a line link for each task. I think this might be a nice feature to have when creating a task.

Templater setup

I use templater to create my daily report and this also has the button for copying. I create this daily when laying out my day. This also has the link to the Day Planner for the current day

templater.md

Day Planner

After copying the the tasks I copy them into the Day Planner. They are formatted a bit different from the task and I remove the dates and the hash tag because I don't want it duplicating the task itself.

Thank you! How do you handle times?

[bikingbadger]

The times I add in the Day Planner note. The copying removes some of the information so it is cleaner. You get a checklist from the button. There's not much to do about automating times. Maybe with sorting this could be an option but I haven't really looked at that yet.

Hi @bikingbadger - Do I understand correctly, that for this to work, one would need several plugins:

• Tasks
• Dayplanner
• Templater
• Buttons

?

Buttons is not needed. Yes the other 3 are required. I use Templater for being able to create the daily work note so see what the tasks are today. From this note I also can mark the tasks as done or not.
