Tutorial: Smarter Project Management with Logseq

Introduction:

1. Welcome to the tutorial on smarter project management using Logseq, based on the video from Tools on Tech.
2. In this tutorial, we will cover three key methods for project management: the Gatherer Method, the Planner Method, and the Outsourcerer Method.

Gatherer Method:

1. Creating a Project:

   • Start by creating a dedicated page for your project in Logseq.
   • Give it a title and categorize it as a project type.
   • Begin linking any relevant information such as meetings, tasks, notes, or links to this project page.

2. Monitoring Progress:

   • Use the "To Do," "Doing," and "Done" sets to track the status of tasks within your project.
   • Utilize simple queries to filter and view all open tasks in your project.

3. Advanced Queries:

   • Explore advanced query options to enhance task management within Logseq.
   • Refer to the video description for specific query examples that you can use in your projects.

Planner Method:

1. Organizing Tasks:

   • Move all tasks into the project page to create a structured task list.
   • Utilize indentations for subtasks and maintain a clear order for task completion.

2. Task Management:

   • Use the Linked References feature to track tasks across different sections of your project.
   • Copy and paste tasks to maintain references and context for each task.

3. Progress Tracking:

   • Use the "To Do Master" plugin to visualize progress with progress bars for tasks and subtasks.
   • Monitor task completion and overall project progress effectively.

Outsourcerer Method:

1. External Task Management:

   • Link notes and tasks to your project page as in the Gatherer Method.
   • Instead of keeping tasks within Logseq, move them to external task management tools like Todoist or Notion.

2. Maintaining Consistency:

   • Ensure consistency in project naming between Logseq and external tools for seamless integration.
   • Copy URLs of tasks from external tools to Logseq for easy access and reference.

3. Project Overview:

   • Create a dedicated page for projects and use queries to display active projects based on their status (e.g., doing or to do).
   • Streamline project visibility and prioritize tasks effectively.

Conclusion:

1. Experiment with the Gatherer, Planner, and Outsourcerer methods to find the best fit for your project management style.
