Curious uses of today page

From my point of view, the use of the today page (today node in Tana) is one of the essential features for any modern PKM application, as it creates a fundamental temporal context when entering and retrieving our information.

Today page is a daily notepad in which to jot down ideas, thoughts, tasks ... which in the case of Tana multiplies its usefulness thanks to the #day supertag that is applied to each day.

It is empty by default, but you can easily customize it by clicking on the tag and opening its configuration. This will allow you to define a structure according to your needs.

Due to its temporary nature, the most typical use of this page is to manage tasks, routines, reminders... but going a little deeper, I want to create a series of articles to comment on what other curious uses can be given to it.

If you would like to share your ideas to inspire other users, I have created a thread in the slack community.

To begin with, a curious use that I give to today page is for avoid accumulating unnecessary things in my house. Let's see how.

The first thing to do is to create the #clean up

In this case I have put only one option field, although you can complicate it as much as you want.

The rest of the tag configuration would be:

The next step is to create three commands that allow you to define one of these three options just by clicking on them. For this we will use the Set field values command.

To make it more visual we will use an emojis instead of text.

Once created we will go to the configuration of the #clean up tag and at the bottom we will open the advanced option and we will put there the commands.

To do this, simply place the cursor on each command, press Ctrl + C, and then press Ctrl + V.

Now we can create the node that will go on the today page. For this we will create 5 searches.
