Tasks as Habits in Obsidian

LDP/600 Resources/Tasks can be automated into Habits using the Obsidian Tasks plugin. By formatting tasks as follows, you can have them repeat at regular intervals.

Formatting

  • #task #hb <contents> [🔁 interval] [📅 YYYY-MM-DD]

< > - required [ ] - optional

interval denotes how you want this repeated, in plain English. See examples below.

every day every friday every 2 days every month every 2 years

#hb denotes this task as a habit task compared to regular tasks and can appear on their own dedicated views. See Habits (View) or 🏠 Main Dashboard.

If you do not include #hb, you will merge habit task and regular tasks. If this is what you want and it works for you, make adjustments as needed.

Location

Habits, like Tasks, can be sprinkled throughout LDP as needed. However, do consider centralizing a habit to its own note under 📁300 Habits.

Flossing (Habit) has been provided as an example.
