Projects

A project is simply any task that has subtasks, like this:

• 🗃️ This is the name of the project
  • This will be the Next Action and will show up on the Task List

The 🗃️ icon is automatically added by the plugin to make project identification easy. You don’t need to add it yourself.

Tasks for projects are processed sequentially. If you add a second child task to this project, it will not show up on the main task list until the previous task has been completed:

• 🗃️ Example project
  • This will be the Next Action and will show up on the Task List
  • This task will only appear once the previous task has been completed

You can have multiple projects within the same note without any issues:

• 🗃️ Project 1
  • The next action for Project 1
• 🗃️ Project 2
  • The next action for Project 2
• A task, not a project, since it has no sub-tasks
• Another task

Tip

Please note that the projects do not need to be part of a single list. They could be in separate sections of a note, or in completely different notes.

Sub-projects

You can add as many levels of subprojects (child projects) to a project that you like. You can do this in two ways, with subprojects being sequential or parallel.

To make things clearer, I have added some extra icons:

• ▶️ Means the Next Action
• ⛓️ Means this task is dependent on a previous task being completed

Sequential

If you make subprojects of a project, the first subproject needs to be completed before the tasks in the second subproject become active:

• 🗃️ The root project
  • 🗃️ First subproject
    • ▶️ Task 1 for the subproject
    • ⛓️ Task 2 for the subproject
  • 🗃️ Second subproject
    • ⛓️ This project will depend on the first project being completed
    • ⛓️ …before any task becomes active

Parallel

If you want projects to be completed in parallel, have them both at the root level:

• 🗃️ Project 1 to be completed in parallel
  • ▶️ Task 1 for this project
  • ⛓️ Task 2 for this project
• 🗃️ Project 2 to be completed in parallel
  • ▶️ Task 1 for the 2nd project
  • ⛓️ Task 2 for the 2nd project

Please note that the projects do not need to be part of a single list. They could be in separate sections of a note, or in completely different notes.
