Description:
yeaGTD is an acronym for "yaml encoded approach to getting
things done". The project is a python script which extracts
information from simple text files, one for each project, and then
produces nicely formatted summary reports.
Flexible rules can be used to specify repeated projects.
Context, project and date views are supported and output can be
filtered in a variety of ways. Output can optionally be printed or
sent to standard output in several formats.
Commands are provided for marking tasks complete, opening files
for editing and backing up project files.
YAML, a recursive acronym for "YAML Ain't Markup Language",
is a human readable and writable data serialization format. YAML's
contribution to yeaGTD is to make the format of the project files
extremely simple both to create and to read.
Getting Things Done, commonly abbreviated as GTD, is an action
management method, and the title of a extremely popular book by
David Allen. GTD rests on the common sense notion that with a
complete and current inventory of all commitments, organized and
reviewed in a systematic way, the mind is freed from the job of
remembering everything that needs to be done, and can focus on
actually performing those tasks.
Suppose, for example, that the halogen bulb in the study lamp
needs to be replaced. Getting this done requires first removing the
old bulb, taking it with you to the hardware store to buy a similar
replacement bulb and finally installing the new bulb. Though
simple, this example illustrates several aspects of GTD.
1. Projects usually involve a series of steps, some of which
must be carried out sequentially, e.g., the old bulb must be
removed before it can be taken to the hardware store and the
replacement must be purchased before it can be installed.
2. The steps of a project are carried out in a context which
may vary from step to step, e.g., removing the old bulb and
installing the new one both take place in the context "Home" but
buying the required bulb takes place in the context
"Errands".
3. While focusing on projects is great for planning, for
actually doing things it would be more convenient to focus on
context so that, for example, you could see all actions from all
projects with context "Errands" before you drive away to run
errands. To focus on what needs to be done, it would also be useful
to be able to hide actions that are not yet available so that, for
example, "Install new bulb" would not be displayed until "Buy
required bulb" had been completed.
What's New in This Release:
· Major improvements have been made to the command line
interface.
· Arguments can now be used to filter results using
fuzzy matching and to create tasks complete with project, context,
and dates.
