Tasks by Date - Overdue, today, upcoming, undated

[TfTHacker]

Here is a Dataview script for returning a list of dated tasks (using the [[YYYY-MM-DD]] format). Returns:

• Overdue
• Today
• Upcoming
• Undated

gives you a nice view of all tasks by date in your system.

Hi roamhacker, Thanks for this. Can I ask about the dates and where they are? I've been putting pretty much all my tasks in a ToDo file with headers like DoNow, DoSoon, etc. But I'm interested in trying out your way of doing it, I just need to know where the date info comes from. The date of the file or do you actually insert dates next to checkboxes?

For tasks that have a due date, i simply add the date to the task item like this:

• my task [[2021-06-02]]

This task then will show up on due today in this script. I only date tasks with hard due dates, but this helps me track if something is over due or upcoming.

Ok, great. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated.

Ok, now the original post is updated with the correct link.

Here is my customizable task overview for Obsidian with DataviewJS. In the metadata various parameters can be changed and so the appearance of the overview can be customized. Also the stored regex parameters for the recognition of date, time and archived tasks can be customized as desired. This template is currently designed for use with the Kanban plugin for Obsidian, but can also be adapted for all other task management methods as needed.

Apparently this user changed his username. See: https://github.com/rheidt/Task-Overview-for-Obsidian-DataviewJS now. This is clearly the same content, but:

• The JS has apparently been compiled or intentionally obfuscated; it looks like this:

var _0x53ed46=_0x5106;(function(_0x3f166d,_0x3e38c2){var _0x10ab3b=_0x5106,_0xa52b

which makes me hesitate to use it...
