Dividers
A divider is a horizontal line that separates one part of a list from the next.
Why you'd care
It is the lightest structure available. No name, no collapsing, no meaning. On a busy day, one divider between morning and afternoon makes the page readable at almost no cost.
The 60-second version
Type three dashes on their own line, or pick divider from the slash menu. See slash commands.
Divider or heading?
| Use | When |
|---|---|
| Divider | You want a visual break and nothing else |
| Heading | The section deserves a name, or you want to collapse it, or you want a board column |
Dividers are free. Headings are Plus. If all you need is a break, the divider is not a downgrade, it is the right tool.
Going further
A divider is a thing. It can be selected, moved and deleted like anything else, and it carries no text.
They work well on days. Days are the one place where you cannot add headings to plan ahead, because the day is a running log. A divider gives it structure without pretending it is organized.
Tips
- One or two per page. Three dividers on one day is a list that wants to be a list.
- A divider before the last few things of a day is a decent "not today" marker.
