History of 2025-07-07 Mass resetting Org mode checkboxes

15:47 UTC Revision 1 . . . . mborkI’m a big fan of checklists. There are many cases where I need to follow some procedure containing many steps, and I really do not want to forget about any of them. This is especially challenging when it is something I need to do not very often, say, once a month, since it is very easy to forget about one or more steps, and properly memorizing the procedure would take many months. One example is preparing and sending invoices, which I need to do at the beginning of every month. Another (slightly less typical) example is packing for vacations – it’s very easy to forget to take something, and very important not to. In fact, I prepared a generic list of things to take with me on vacation more than fifteen years ago, and I use it several times a year, sometimes adding some new item, sometimes removing some no longer needed item. Me being me, I keep these checklists in Org mode, and they consist of one or more headings with a bunch of checkboxed lists.
