I’ve naturally developed a similar syntax to this and recently dumped all my notes into NotePlan 3. It’s been one of the best task management/note taking solutions I’ve found yet (not an ad, just an enthusiastic user!) With a little bit of find-and-replace in your favorite editor, you get great UX across platforms and all the benefits of plaintext without too many additions/deviations from standard markdown.

The one big addition I’d make to this syntax is a time estimate. I use the syntax ~15m or ~2.5h etc. With the autotimebox plugin in Noteplan 3, I’m able to automatically fill in blank space on my calendar with these as events. If things come up and the day doesn’t go as planned, I just run autotimebox again and it finds a new time for them
