Recurring checklists using Org Mode in Emacs (naiquev.in)

There is also M-x org-reset-checkbox-state-subtree

Another list/checkbox related package I use is org-autolist, it saves a lot of typing when adding many list items or checkboxes at once. There is currently an issue that keeps it working quite right with current Org versions and a PR with a fix.

It was the habits part of org-mode that initially interested me. Being able to schedule a task to repeat every "3 to 7 days" that kept timestamps and was all plain text based? It was the gateway features that got me hooked on Emacs.

There was an osx/macOS app that did something similar to the habits in org-mode, but I've forgotten the name of it. Was around from the mid 00s and had a colourful grid showing those times you missed the habit, habits on track, etc. I'm writing this in case anyone remembers it, I hate forgetting stuff!


Very cool! I've built a very similar plugin for Obsidian. Recurring checklists are one of the secret weapons in my organisational toolbox.

I’ve recently started using Google Workspace to organize documents and do collaborative work. I still haven’t figured out much for organizing tasks beyond using Google Sheets tables feature. Is there a better way to organize (sometimes recurring) tasks with checklists, similar to what this article describes but using Google Workspace?


use some of the gscript and api code


Thanks. I’ll look into gscript.
