Workflows

[alanvardy]

As a general introduction, I really like Todoist because it has an API, an Apple watch app, and it never screws up syncing my tasks, so I feel like I can use it anywhere and depend on it.

I am optimizing for the best life I can, and want only to put tasks on my list that I WILL complete. There is no room for tasks that I might do someday, and I don't want to put more on there than I can do. The objective is not to just "get more done", the todo list serves me, I don't serve the todo list.

I have the usual grocery store list etc, but my primary projects for getting the day to day stuff done are physical and digital. Digital is anything I can get done in my office in front of the computer i.e. pay the rent (I usually schedule these for Friday and do them in a big block of time), and physical is everything else like "mow the lawn".

Appointments are currently scheduled on the calendar but I eventually hope to put them in Todoist once either Todoist gets a better calendar or this app makes it easy enough.

So I throw tasks into my inbox as soon as the enter my head, and sort them out later / process them using the following bash script, it's aliased so that I run it with the command processtod

  echo "" && \
  echo "=== EMPTYING INBOX ===" && \
  tod project empty --project inbox && \
  echo "" && \
  echo "=== SCHEDULING DIGITAL ===" && \
  tod project schedule --project digital && \
  echo "" && \
  echo "=== SCHEDULING PHYSICAL ===" && \
  tod project schedule --project physical && \
  echo "" && \
  echo "=== PRIORITIZING DIGITAL ===" && \
  tod project prioritize --project digital && \
  echo "" && \
  echo "=== PRIORITIZING PHYSICAL ===" && \
  tod project prioritize --project physical
  echo "" && \
  echo "=== PROCESSING DIGITAL ===" && \
  tod project process --project digital && \
  echo "" && \
  echo "=== PROCESSING PHYSICAL ===" && \
  tod project process --project physical $argv;
