-In mid 2023 I moved off of Notion to Obsidian for various reasons, some of which I mentioned in [[my_web|elsewhere]]. In the process I lost my notes-integrated kanban as well. I needed a new task-tracking solution, and having done that job in my notes app before, I resolved to try to do it in Obsidian.+In mid 2023 I moved off of Notion to Obsidian for [[my_web|various reasons]].

 When I switch to a new platform for anything, I like to try the Happy Path. In other words, I want to use the software according to what its users and developers consider to be its strengths. For task tracking in Obsidian, that is the [[https://publish.obsidian.md/tasks/Introduction|Tasks]] plugin. This is fundamentally a plugin that adds a query and metadata layer on top of markdown checklists. When I switch to a new platform for anything, I like to try the Happy Path.

-And all of this syncs flawlessly with calDAV. I can whip out my phone, type a task into the quick add bar, hit enter and put my phone away, and it'll be there in the task viewer on Nextcloud. Furthermore, since tasks with due dates are also calendar items, they appear on my calendar so I get an overview of everything I'm going to do just by looking at my calendar.+And all of this syncs flawlessly with CalDAV.

 This all probably sounds very trivial, but I've never used a task tracking solution where all the pieces worked together so well. It's really slick. This all probably sounds very trivial, but I've never used a task tracking solution where all the pieces worked together so well. It's really slick.
