How to quickly go through tasks lists and make a "plan for next week" (e.g. schedule on some day)?

[st--]

I've been looking around the documentation and existing discussions for a while, but haven't really figured out what would be an efficient way of doing the following:

For example in a weekly review, I want to be able to go through lists of tasks (i.e., a ```tasks view), and triage / select tasks that I want to do over the course of the following week.

Of course I can do this by either clicking on "edit" on each task and setting the scheduled date, or by clicking on the backlink and e.g. pasting a ⏳ DATE kept in the clipboard.

But is there a way of doing this "within the flow", without always moving back and forth to a modal window / a different file?

One easy way for me (but I never use completions on tasks which would complicate this strategy) is to use statuses, and toggle between two statuses (one of which would be your "do now" list).

I guess I could set it up so the transition goes [to do] -> [scheduled] -> [done], I might try that and see how it feels. Though intuitively I'd rather be able to connect it to the scheduled date...

Happy to hear more suggestions / ideas / workflows ! :)

Update: this is semi-working for me. It's perfect for when I want to actually schedule tasks, but I regularly get caught a bit by surprise that a task I just wanted to check off (but hadn't scheduled). I might turn off the automatic [to do] -> [scheduled] transition and just go with the right-click context menu in the task view... Though it would be really nice if I could just shift-click or something...

There isn't yet a quick and easy way to add dates to tasks.

I expect there will be more right-mouse/press-and-hold options on tasks coming some time over the next few months - but there is a bunch of other higher-priority stuff to do first.

Probably the quickest way right now to add dates is to use Auto Suggest, if you are editing the note in Source or Live Preview modes.
