yolo

time tracker script to help track time

Usage

If you don't have a task set, run either yolo set <task description> or yolo set, which will prompt you for a task.

$ yolo set Take over the world
2013/08/22 18:56:58 | Take over the world

$ yolo set
task: Take over the world
2013/08/22 18:56:58 | Take over the world

Running yolo (or yolo current) will tell you what you're suppose to be working on.

$ yolo
Take over the world (started 55 seconds ago)

$ yolo current
Take over the world (started 55 seconds ago)

When you're done something, just run yolo done.

$ yolo done
Take over the world (completed in 22 seconds)

When you want to give up on a task, run yolo abandon. Abandoned tasks will not be logged.

$ yolo abandon
Debug my current project (abandoned)

To review what you accomplished today, run yolo today.

$ yolo today
Finish assignment (completed in 34 minutes)
Catch up on show (completed in 58 minutes)
Listen to that song I like (completed in 4 minutes)

To review what you accomplished on a certain date, run yolo on <time specification>. The time specification can be anywhere from a formatted date to english words as it uses date -d.

$ yolo on yesterday
Completed tasks for 2013/12/18:
Finish assignment (completed in 34 minutes)
Catch up on show (completed in 58 minutes)

Passing --bare to any command (except set) will not show any annotations along with the task (e.g. the "ago" time).

$ yolo current --bare
Do 20 push-ups

Log file

The log file yolo writes to is either:

• the file in the YOLO environment variable, or
• ~/.yolo

A log file looks like the following:

2013/08/22 15:57:53 - 2013/08/22 17:00:21 | Work on assignment
2013/08/22 18:05:47 - 2013/08/22 19:49:50 | Watch TV show
2013/08/22 19:55:32 | Debug this script
