Did I forget something? A short about the to-dos that sink into old daily notes, and the Dataview query that finds them

Rozz Queries is a new three-part set of Rozz shorts, each one built around a single query from our free Dataview pack. Episode 1 is about the to-do you wrote in a daily note last week that's now buried a few notes back. Watch it on X , Instagram , or TikTok . The query on Rozz's monitor is number 2 in the pack, "Unfinished tasks from the last 14 days of daily notes". This is the whole thing: TASK…

Rozz Queries is a new three-part set of shorts, each focusing on a specific Dataview query. The first episode, "The To-Do You Forgot," highlights the importance of completing daily notes and the query that uncovers the forgotten tasks. This episode can be found on X, Instagram, or TikTok.

The Dataview query in question looks for tasks from the last 14 days of daily notes that haven't been completed and are not marked as "-". It also excludes tasks with only an empty checkbox. Dataview only recognizes [x] as completed, so cancelled tasks with [-] are not included. The query assumes daily notes are named by date, like "2026-09-27.md", and are located in a folder called Daily.

Rozz Queries offers ten such query options within a single note, covering various aspects such as open tasks, orphan notes, decision logs, stale projects, incident follow-ups, and tech debt registers. Each query in the pack specifies its purpose and required fields. To use these queries, the user requires Obsidian and the free Dataview plugin. The Dataview Starter Queries pack is available for free on Gumroad.

48-Hour Field Notes: My Output File Looked Complete Because I Streamed Straight Into It

A batch job that writes one JSON document per item sounds like the safest code you will write all week, right? No shared state, no transactions, no concurrent writers, just open() , write() , close()…

  • Batch job streamed JSON documents directly into destination path
  • Resume logic treated file existence as completion
  • Two bugs compounded each other: truncated output and resume logic
