Open note with no dated unchecked task
An open note needs a Tasks due date on at least one unchecked task.
How to use it
Section titled “How to use it”Open notes represent active work. When none of their unchecked tasks has a due date, the work has no place in the dated plan and is easy to overlook.
Inbox flags the note so the user can schedule at least one next action. Other unchecked tasks may remain undated; a single dated unchecked task is enough to anchor the note in planning.
How to fix
Section titled “How to fix”Add 📅 YYYY-MM-DD to at least one unchecked task. Choose the day you want
the note to return to your attention:
- [ ] Review the proposal 📅 2026-10-01Replace the example date with your chosen day. A date on a completed task does not count, and Tasks scheduled or start markers do not satisfy this rule. Other unchecked tasks can remain undated.
