# TODO/DONE

- TODOs are the core of [task management]([[Task Management]]). We have been using them in our bullet journals, task apps, and now... Roam.
- Creating TODOs in Roam is incredibly easy! Below are different ways to do that:
  - **Right clicking on the bullet**
    - `Right-click` on the bullet you want to transform into a todo.
    - Click on `Make TODO`
  - **Using the keyboard shortcut**
    - While you're editing the block you want to transform into a TODO, press:
      - `cmd+return` (macOS)
      - `ctrl+enter` (PC)
  - **Using the** [[/ Commands]] **Menu**
    - Type `/`
    - Hit `enter`
