I've really enjoyed dumbing things down with my todo list lately by using the todo.txt format. It's an incredibly plain way to do it, and using tools like todo.txt-cli and markor for Android helps to make input and sorting my todo.txt a breeze.
I decided I also wanted a simple one page A4 summary of my week ahead to print out and stick on my fridge, so I've created a python script that does this:
-
User can select current or next week to display.
-
Events under the Weekview column are picked from any lines with "due:YYYY-MM-DD" included that falls within the chosen week.
-
Only prioritised tasks are displayed under Priorities.
-
Any line with the +focus-on tag are displayed under Focus.
-
Any line with the +waiting-for tag are displayed under Waiting For.
If I've done a weekly review prior to running the script I should have a pretty clear and concise outlook on my page.
I'll probably leave it at that for now. It does everything I need. Fun little project.
