  "account": "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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nRozz 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.",
