How Lukas Kawerau tracks medications

Lukas demonstrates how he keeps track of medication he takes during the day.
medication tracking

LK: Every time I'm taking a drug, I create a new node and apply #medicine-taken to it. This new node would have one field "Medikamente" which would be an instance of #Medikament. The node would also have one field "Dosis" where I'd enter the dose.

This gives me a nice table of medications and dosages.

Then I could set a title expression for the #medicine-taken that would just show a combined line for the medicine, dose taken, and maybe the date.

To add a date field that auto-initializes: https://www.loom.com/share/08c3a078f22d4e4497ff143b0373a5c0

Lukas has been exploring note-taking for 15 years and has taught the techniques he used during his PhD to thousands of students, from undergrads to professors. He now uses Tana to run a small IT department as well as his content production for CortexFutura. See his free course on Tana Fundamentals here, or join his Tana Tips mailing list.
