Visualizing Deadlines

You have multiple deadlines. How do you keep them in check? Time to use some dataview functionality - you have to install the Plugin Dataview for this.


Let’s say you have three submissions to do. You will create three Notes, and in the all three notes you add properties, namely a date corresponding with your deadlines - calling it “due”:

due

Then create a new note and put this in a dataview-codeblock:

```dataview
TABLE due, (date(due) - date(today)).days AS "remaining Days"
WHERE due AND date(due) >= date(today)

This is handy because it will display all files that you give the “due” property in a nice table - giving you an excellent overview of your deadlines:

If you move this file into a canvas, you can build yourself a planning dashboard with to-do checklists or whatever your project needs. Best practise is to put the “due” property directly in your templates.
