Power of Logseq - Manage Your Daily Tasks with Outliner

Introduction - What is the Logseq ?

Today, I try to write about Logseq, and how to manage the task by that. Some of you might know, Logseq is a popular outliner-style note-taking and knowledge management app that works with desktop and mobile. It helps us to organize your ideas and definitely makes your life easier.

The core functionality of the app is a text-based nested list. Because of its simplicity and flexibility, there are many things that Logseq can do for us.

Seeing is believing, so I show you an example.

You can create a simple todo list by utilizing line breaks and indentation like this. But, also it can be used for other purposes if there are any other ideas - Here is another example. It is a notepad for presentation.

What is the outliner?

An outliner is a text editor which specialized in creating and editing outlines, like above image. User input text can be nested intuitively and easily organized by building a tree structure.

As shown in the examples above, there are a variety of ways to use outliner's the tree structure, such as making task lists, making general notes, writing plots for blogs and novels, and so on.

Tip: Other Outliners

Functionality and comfort vary from software to software - my favorite outliner app is Logseq, but there also Workflowy, Dynalist, Omni Outliner, Cloud Outliner and etc. Those are also great apps!

By the way I am also a big fan of Workflowy, but I switched to Logseq a while ago due to the text limit for a free plan. But Workflowy is also great tool so please check it if you are interested in.

Journals

Logseq has a unique feature called "Journals" that is implemented as default. And this is the one of my most favourite features in Logseq.

This feature simply generates a blank page with the date at the top, which repeats every day. I use it to organize my tasks for the day by listing them as bullet points. Default Journals have nothing inside, so user should add some template in it, though.

In addition to that, Logseq offers a range of options that allow users to delve deeper into the tool. Some of these options include a time tracking feature that counts the time with a click, PKM-like todo system (TODO-DONE, LATER-NOW), tags, external extensions, and so on. With these features, you can make the most out of Logseq and tailor it to your specific needs.

Tip: Task Chute

The concept of Logseq's time tracking and todo system are my favourite parts of this app. It's beautiful that those functions work in outliner constructure like Logseq! I'm also big fan of an unique mobile app called Taskuma, which focuses on creation of tasks with time tracking functionality and daily repetitive tasks (Task Chute Method).

Both tools have different and unique concept and are indispensable to my daily life. Check out if you are interested, too.
