Having used GitHub flavored markdown and tools like Roam Research and Obsidian, I'm used to being able to add interactive todo items to a document with square brackets, like so:
- [ ] Do this
- [ ] Do that
This exact syntax doesn't work in Logseq, but I've figured out two ways of adding todo items.
First, you can access the todo syntax with a forward slash command. Type /
and then start typing TODO. It will show up as a top result. Hit enter and
you'll have a fresh todo item that you can add a description to.
Second, as the above hints at, we can get right to the todo syntax by typing
one of TODO, NOW, or LATER in all caps followed by a description. For
example:
TODO Send out invoices
NOW Reply to those emails
LATER Schedule that meeting
These will render as checkable boxes marked as either TODO, NOW, or
LATER, until they are checked off.
You can also search for blocks that match one of these three categories.
