Hello, everyone!
Quick thoughts about Planner and David Allen's Getting Things Done.
Has anyone tried the following tweaks?
- Change planner-create-task-from-buffer to default to undated,
non-project tasks. Prompt for a date if called with a prefix
argument. This should simplify the collection aspect.
- Processing: categorize tasks by editing the text description. If the
task is not linked to anything else (as is the case for an undated
task that's only in TaskPool), then you can edit it manually.
- Use C-c C-c to schedule day-specific tasks (and only day-specific
tasks). Day pages: tasks that absolutely must be done on that day,
relevant notes, and tasks actually finished on that day.
- Use text descriptions instead of project pages to represent context,
projects. Use planner-trunk or sacha/planner-score-sort-tasks to
sort things dynamically. Use interactive search to jump around
easily.
- Define a bunch of trunk definitions or score keywords. Switch
between them quickly to get different 'views' of your data.
- Use something like sacha/planner-track-finished-tasks to
automatically reschedule completed tasks onto today's page. Better
yet, change it to remove the task from TaskPool after you're done.
(The planner-multi-copy-tasks-to-page flag controls something
similar.)
- Change function called by C-c C-c in remember buffers. Hmm. Where
should notes be placed? Universal prefix: add note to date page (not
just today's). Default: some kind of inbox. Also, add an equivalent
of C-c C-c for notes.
Hmm...
