Obsidian is a powerful note-taking app among professionals, students, and knowledge workers.

Along with taking notes, and organizing thoughts and ideas, it can also be used as a task manager.

While Obsidian is not a full-fledged task manager like ticktick, todoist, and things, it still can be used to stay on top of tasks.

It lacks certain features like reminders, collaboration, etc.

Despite these shortcomings, Obsidian can be a powerful tool for managing your tasks. And having all your tasks and notes at one place is a great way to stay organized.

One way of using Obsidian as a task manager is using daily notes.

In this article, I will guide you through the process of creating a daily note template for managing tasks in Obsidian.

While this article focuses on integrating tasks with daily notes, you can also use it independently.
