Most of the time, when a task is done, users will mark it as "Completed" (to remove it from the note) or "Crossed out" (to leave it in the note).
But there is a third way to mark a task as "done," and it carries a side benefit that is periodically requested by users: to remove the completed task from their calendar(s).

Via hotkey: In general, the fastest way to mark a task as dismissed is to position your cursor within the task text and to use the hotkey to dismiss a task:
macOS: Ctrl-Option-Space (aka Ctrl-Alt-Space or ⌃⌥␣)
PC (Linux and Windows): Ctrl-Shift-d (aka ^D)
Via task action: When the cursor is within a task text, you can use !dismiss (effectively, !di at which point it will be auto-suggested) to dismiss a task
Via calendar: Pick "Dismiss task" from the list of options
