To do list?
How do you keep track of things you want to do (study, etc) in Logos? Currently, I am using OneNote but would like to have my "to do list" in Logos. Thanks

I think you should leave this forum for strictly software issues (which is its intent) and post in the General forum instead.

Create a Prayer document and give it an appropriate title. That is what I do for my Bible Study Schedule.

I use a combination of Notes for details and Favorites for project overviews
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

I hadn't thought of using prayer lists like this but I can see how that might work for some people. I have a separate piece of software that I use to track all my tasks so my personal preference is to keep things separate so that they can appear separately on my Logos Home Page. So prayer lists, workflows, reading plans, courses, devotionals....
So I do have a number of prayer lists - but because I share my login with two other family members they are fairly general and I use a private Onenote noteboook for my primary personal list - so for instance I do have a list of Affirmations adapted from the concepts in Ken Boa's book - Handbook To Prayer | Logos Bible Software - the idea is they are *morning* affirmations but I figure they're good for anytime of the day and they're there as a card on the Home Page.
- but more to xnman's question I do have a Study Focus Prayer List which brings up specific topics/issues I'm currently chewing the cud on. I find it a great reminder to start with prayer as I seek wisdom (James 1:5) but it also acts as a regular prompt.
I schedule the frequency based on how urgently I feel the need to have a cogent position on or about something. So for instance - How to understand and explain Jesus' words about "the poor always being with you" in John 12:8 is every other day because I will be teaching from that chapter in a couple of weeks where as "What is God's wisdom regarding gender and how to properly communicate it" is every other week; not because it is less important but just less urgent but still something that I want to devote time to wrestling with. A side benefit to these lists is that my wife and daughter see them too (they have their own logins but I have a more extensive library so they'll sometimes use my login for additional research) and that has provoked some great discussions.
But this is all stuff I'm actively working on as opposed to someday/maybe , possible reading lists which if I'm understanding your question is what you are more interested in how to manage?
I have been slowly migrating (from notes) to using the personal books function as the way to collate my study. I still use notes and highlights for certain purposes but my primary repositories are my PBBs. I have sections in those documents where I capture information such as further reading lists, topics I'm curious about exploring further... etc. I suspect somewhat like what you are doing in Onenote, except I'm just doing it in Word and converting it into a PBB anytime I make an update. I have these resources high in prioritization list so they appear as resources in my guides and they are open in almost all of my predefined layouts - so my Bible Study Layout has my personal commentary in a panel linked to my Bible panel
I have sections called Possible Further Reading which is a prioritized list of resources along with any notes to myself as to why I think it would be helpful to read that resource I have also have links to the resources (if it has a URL) already in the doc which means I can click directly to it and purchase it if I don't already have it or create a PBB for it if it is in the public domain (so I'm doing this on just in time basis - I find that means my time and money is being used more effecetively) At that point the resource information gets cut and pasted into my bibliography section and anything I glean from my reading gets incorporated and properly cited in my commentary or topical notes.
Hope this is helpful. For me this all works and suits my ADHD because it means I have a way to work in sprints and not have a bunch of effort wasted because its all piecemeal. It also doesn't require a whole lot of ongoing maintenance because I can just do things as I go and it just grows and develops organically. I can see a resource cited or have someone suggest I read an article and add it into my notes at that time so it is out of my head. If I think it is super important that I actually read it sooner rather than later I can always create a proper task for myself but the reality is I already have more books and resources on different lists than I will ever have time to get to but FOMO kicks in because what if this is that one thing that somehow makes everything else make sense. For me that ends up being a huge distraction and a bunch of wasted brain cycles... this way I can record it and move on to more immediate concerns but confident that if and when I end up exploring that specific topic further that this will be there as a possible option to spend time on.
