Productivity in Tana:

This Tana demo takes you from a simple #todo tag to surfacing todos on Daily Nodes and within projects.
It was recorded live for Tana users in AP Productivity Cohort Six, and presented unedited here. I even left in a part where I was confused for a few moments-I want everyone to see that we're all learning Tana together! Since it's live via Zoom, please forgive the slightly lower production values from my usual content! 😊

You are an exceptional trainer! 🖥 🖱Your voice is pleasant. Your instructions are clear. Your pace is EXCELLENT! 💯 I got off the Waitlist about 2mos ago, but I just started using Tana today (Mar 2023). You're taking me at a pace that works for me as a beginner who is relatively unfamiliar with Roam, Notion, Obsidian, etc. I'm migrating info into Tana from Evernote. So talking and moving like a wizard who likes to click and show off their new toy causes me to get lost quickly. I'm immensely grateful for this video. 🎁 THANK YOU! 👌🏼🙏🏼

As of a short while ago, you can set up a status field which is linked to a node's check box, so that "To Do", "Doing", "Someday/Maybe" etc. all produce a unchecked box, but moving it to "done" will check the box (and vice versa).

Great video! Thanks for this. Can't wait to get an invite.

The search node within a field adds a generation so it would be GRANDPARENT. That should make your search work and not have to update every single day. 😊

[@vigramsivakumar]

That's doesnt work. Can you share the configuration here, please

Helpful, thanks

I am desperate for someone to make a beginners guide to Tana - a REAL beginners guide. From scratch, and with explanations of how it works, (and why) and then apply it to real life examples so I can see how things are constructed. Everyone assumes you know what you are doing, or that you are coming from Notion, or Obsidian etc. I really want to build a system (I'm a researcher) but despite playing with it for a few months now, I have no idea what I'm doing and just getting more and more confused. Is there such a thing anywhere??

How to import web data into Tana?

[@Svykle]

Can you track time later? How trend how long it takes to get stuff done?

[@RJNestorCoach]

Adding it to fields suggests that, yes, you COULD track it later. I'm not yet aware of any automated way to do that, but I suspect that sort of functionality is in the works. There's already quite a bit of database manipulation possible in table views, and you could definitely view your logged tasks as a table
