This plugin migrates yesterdays unfinished tasks to todays journal. It is meant to be used in a template, but can be run mannually as well. It supports limiting tasks to specific markers or tags.

I can't believe it! They keep following me.

— Unhappy customer

Notice: This plugin is in beta, make backups of your graph. It shouldn't, but can (theoratically) make tasks disappear in the digital void.

Installation

Preparation

• Click the 3 dots in the righthand corner and go to Settings.
• Go to Advanced and enable Plug-in system.
• Restart the application.
• Click 3 dots and go to Plugins (or Esc t p).

Install plugin from the Marketplace (recommended)

• Click the Marketplace button and then click Plugins.
• Find the plugin and click Install.

Install plugin manually

• Download a released version assets from Github.
• Unzip it.
• Click Load unpacked plugin, and select destination directory to the unzipped folder.

Using the plugin

The default way to use the plugin is place a placeholder in your daily template. Then, when the template is run at midnight, all tasks are moved to the newly created page. Use: /move unfinished business here.

As an alternative, go to the location you want to gather the unfinished tasks, use /move unfinished business here, correct (or remove) the tag, leave the block, and the tasks will be migrated.

Testing if it works

As a test, create two tasks in yesterdays journal page:

LATER This is a test [[testme]]
LATER This is a second test [[testme]]

Then place a placeholder with: /move unfinished business here Press escape to leave the block"

If everything is working, you should see:

**🚀 Moved 2 unfinished tasks from yesterday **
LATER This is a test [[testme]]
LATER This is a second test [[testme]]

Important: the placeholder, by default looks like this: {{renderer :unfinishedBusiness, testme}} to migrate all yesterdays tasks (ignoring all tags) remove both the tag and the comma! It should look like this: {{renderer :unfinishedBusiness}}

Imsure — for when you live dangerously

It is possible to run unfinished business on your whole graph. This can be dangerous, so has it's own flag:

{{renderer :unfinishedBusiness, testme, imsure}}

• testme would be the tag matched against
• imsure is to make sure you want it to check all your pages

So, this will move all tasks, from all pages, with the [[testme]] tag.

Last, it is possible to run unfinished business on all tasks all over your graph, ignoring all tags:

{{renderer :unfinishedBusiness, imsure, imsure}}

This will move all tasks (as defined in your config), from all over your graph, with any, or no tag, to the place you ran the macro from!

So make sure you're really really sure 😜.
