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!
