Getting things done
Today elise asked on twitter whether anyone knew a good GTD app.
Well I use yagtd, and I'm very happy with it. It's completely written in python and thus for me easy to read and adapt if needs to.
yagtd is a command line tool for managing your life. It incorporates all the features I need from a to-do system (and as an extra it has colours!). So... how do I use it? Let me show you:
run the GTD app
python yagtd.py -c todo.txt
add a simple task with context '@development @erlang' and project 'bleh'
GTD> add @development @erlang p:bleh write function moo/1 in module(cow)
add a simple task with no context and project 'blah'
GTD> add p:blah do a code review of audenaeg's code
show all tasks concerning @development
GTD> search @development
set 50% complete for a task
GTD> complete 2 10
show statusses for your projects (% complete)
GTD>status
Evidently this is not the complete feature set, but you should have enough to get started. I have always a GTD session open and I have a git repo where I push the txt file to each day.
If enough response I might write a complete tutorial until then: RTFM!
below a screenshot for the masses!
