- On my Tana dashboard, I have sections for:#
- Projects (≥ Defer Date)#
- Tasks (≥ Defer Date)#
- Open Loops (≥ Defer Date)#
- In order to make these work as intended, I need to manually adjust the defer date in the query to TOMORROW's date each day (Defer date is less than @tomorrow).#
- I need to do this because:#
- There is no less than or equal to operator#
- There is no relative date option in queries: e.g. "TOMORROW" or "PARENT +1"#
- Either of those fixes would be adequate for this particular use-case, but I think Tana would really benefit from BOTH of these simple enhancements.#
- UPDATE: As I wrote this I realized a workaround solution:#
- I could make an OR function where:#
- OR#
- Defer Date = PARENT (Today)#
- Defer Date is less than PARENT (Today)#
- I think the point that both relative dates and less than or equal to would be useful, though this case has a workaround!#
- There's a feature in Tana called semantic function — it feels powerful, but it's also a bit of a mind-bender.#
- The intention is that you can develop "is a part of" relationships, that can assist in facilitating meaningful connections between nodes, and improved search results. #
- My hope is that the feature enables lighter data entry, and more inferred relationships. #
- If project is a part of goal which is a associated with an area, then I want to be able to infer that the project is associated with the area via that 2º relationship.#
- I'm struggling to put this into practice, but it feels possible. Almost certainly a knowledge-gap in my application of the concept/feature.#
- UPDATE: It works!! 🎉 #
- Putting links in Drummer Blog headlines breaks the link to the post.#
- What's the fix here? Just don't put links in the headlines? Put them in the body instead? Repeat the headline in the body?#
There's something about managing all of the structured data in Tana that feels more binding than working in Roam
