Roadrunner Twice

"Crossing out" an item in plaintext is kind of fiddly and abstract. Like, how do you even do that? Put an "x" in front of the line? Turn the - bullet into a +? Guh.

Basically. Use a monospaced font. Two spaces in front of a task [space, space]. When you cross something off, replace its first space with an 'x' [x, space]. Crossed-off entries stand out more than they would if you'd had a dash or bullet to (instead of a space) to signify an unfinished task. My method for years.
