[ ] - task
[/] - in progress
[x] - completed
[-] - canceled
[|] - moved to next day / another time
This is all with pen and paper, of course, with the [ ] being boxes. Once something is marked in-progress, I can still mark it completed, canceled, or moved by just adding another line.
This makes much more sense. How do you move from in-progress to canceled or moved though? If you do a horizontal/vertical strikethrough, doesn't that create a new symbol which look like completed upon glancing?
With the standard Bujo symbols, you can't really move from in-progress to completed without a making a completely new mark. Also, I need more visual differentiation than just tiny dots so I can scan a page of bullets quickly.
> doesn't that create a new symbol which look like completed upon glancing?
Well, not if you make your diagonals hit the corners and your verticals/horizontals hit the sides/top/bottom. In ASCII, they look like they're contained inside, but I actually make the lines cross the box border. For multiple contiguous items that I'm moving, I may even just make a single line to cross multiple boxes. I'm trying to reduce over-committing, though.
⋅ = task, ⊙ = in-progress, × = completed.
I replaced them with my own, which to me made more sense.
◯ = task, ◐ = in-progress, ● = completed.
