Yes, you can have as many per day as you like. You can either differentiate them by adding time to the date in the topic title, or by adding a descriptive name.

CT calls date topics created on the same day “tasks” (but the user is not forced to adopt that nomenclature, i.e. these date topics can represent anything you like). They can get listed in the Calendar pane when you select a date with multiple topics and can get displayed as links within the body of topics with the same date (both of these features are optional).

Here is what my blank template looks like at the moment (not sure if the forum software can display it correctly). After the = sign I’d need to insert the date (except [[waiting:=]], where I’d need to insert the name of the person whose action I’m waiting for). There is actually an AutoHotkey that makes the insertion of such dates in CT format easy, by selecting it with a mouse from a pop-up calendar.

=To Do=

Start: [[start:=]]

Due: [[due:=]]

[[$CHECKBOX:Done|yes]]

Completed: [[completed:=]]

Waiting for: [[waiting:=]]

——

[[$CATEGORY:To Do|

And this is the syntax for the summary table topic (ordered by Due date in descending order):

=Things to do:=

[[$SUMMARY: [$CATEGORY TO DO] & ~[$PR Done=yes]|start|+Due|Importance]]

=Waiting:=

[[$SUMMARY: [$HAS Waiting] ]]

=Done:=

[[$SUMMARY: [$CATEGORY TO DO] & [$PR Done=yes] |Due|-Completed|Done]]

[[$NOCROSS:]]
