I wouldn't call myself a fan, I've not read the book and I'm wary of happy-clappy lifestyle hacks, but what I've gleaned so far from second-hand sources is pretty simple: - Day pages equate to your next actions. To put a task on the next actions, schedule it. Make sure planner-carry-tasks-forward is set (I believe it is by default). - Instead of a separate waiting-for list, I just put tasks in pending status, but I'm not sure if this is the best way to handle it. - Enable planner-multi so that you can maintain tasks on context-list pages. - When you create a task with C-c C-t, you can schedule it or not, and then add it to a project page and any context-list pages you want by entering them at the Page: prompt separated by spaces. - I have context pages for my major clients as well as for the various cost-codes that I need to put on my weekly timesheet. - I use planner-timeclock to log what I do and if I put the cost-code page first in the list of pages, I can get a nice daily breakdown of how much time I spent on each task ordered by cost-code using planner- timeclock-summary. The only real problem with this is that I need a weekly report broken down by project *and* day - planner-timeclock- summary-show-range will give me the former, but not the latter. I'm trying to get my head around lisp so that I can do one myself. > > Thank you very much. > > Xavier -- David _______________________________________________ Planner-el-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/planner-el-discuss
