Temporary Projects

A project that is actually one big task, leaning more towards a plan/arrangement which you have to organise. For example, I recently had to make a temporary project to organise a big event with a lot of people. It was great to use Akiflow for a project like this, especially with the section features which I thought I would never use. However, sections seem ideal for temporary projects like this.
The idea of Temporary Projects is that once I finished it, I deleted mine. This removes the history in the calendar of all the tasks that were assigned to this project.
I think it would be great if Akiflow, instead of deleting projects, you could archive them, or even have an option to mark them as completed. This would keep the project in the calendar and history, but remove it from your list because you don't need it anymore.
A great idea I think that would be motivating and upbuilding is the idea of these 'temporary projects' being something you could look back on in statistics and rituals!
It'd show you what projects you were able to accomplish.
So in Summary:
- A feature for 'Temporary Projects'
Use Examples:
* Organising a big event
* A responsibility to be carried out for an event
* A personal project named 'Decluttering Room'
- An option to Archive or Mark as Completed a 'Temporary Project' without deleting its existence from the tasks that were assigned to in the calendar
- Being able to reflect on Completed Projects through shutdown rituals

Hi Bryan Dubis (Yell3x) You can also try hiding projects or folders from the project list by right-clicking and selecting "Edit Views." This will allow you to hide a project or folder if you no longer need it visible but still want to keep it without deleting it.

Jayrich Sebullen Thanks for letting me know, I applied what you said and found it useful in the way that I can make an 'archive' folder set to hidden.
However, since it is still treated as an active project, I still find myself slow down because of its existence if that makes sense.
The only con is that Project AI still tries to use hidden projects, and when I make tasks and try using the quick shortcuts, I have the archived projects that are named similarly to work around.
Thanks for your reply!

Bryan Dubis (Yell3x): Glad to hear that workaround was helpful! I totally get what you mean. It'd be great if archived projects were fully excluded from AI and when assigning projects to tasks. We'll definitely keep this in mind and once the team starts working on this, we'll definitely let you know!
