Hmm, I deploy it as @script text here where it doesn't really matter what `text here` is, although nothing may not work. Why do I use @script and not @command not sure, a reason I've forgotten maybe. Perhaps no longer valid. To try deploying it as a command you'd have to remove the 'def add_note(args):' and outdent the rest to left margin and call the node `@command x`.

Re: GTD checkin messages and workflow
I'm afraid I don't know how this is used, if I put the whole thing in a node and it's available, but it looks like it should be active automatically if in a @commands tree in myLeoSettings.leo, but I've not had success. If that's true, what is the headline, what is the body? Thanks, Kent On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 12:57 PM, Edward K.

Terry, could you add this script to scripts.leo? There is a top-level node for such things, with a child for your scripts:: Recently contributed/modified scripts Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.

I have a command called 'x' that I use for this. It creates, at the
top of workbook.leo or the first outline already open if workbook.leo
is not open, a node named with the current date / time and todo.py
priority / date settings. It's called 'x' so you can fire it with
Alt-X 'x'
@g.command('x')
def add_note(args):
for c in g.app.commanders():
if c.fileName().endswith('workbook.leo'):
break
else:
c = g.app.commanders()[0]
nd = c.rootPosition().insertAfter()
nd.moveToRoot(c.rootPosition())
import datetime, time
nd.h = time.asctime()
nd.b = "\n\n# %s\n\n" % nd.h
c.selectPosition(nd)
nd.v.u['annotate'] = {
'duedate': datetime.date.today(),
'created': datetime.datetime.now(),
'nextworkdate': datetime.date.today(),
'priority': 2,
}
# I think this whole block could be removed, possibly it dates
# to a time when c.bringToFront() didn't do everything it needed to
parent = c.frame.top
while parent.parent():
parent = parent.parent()
parent.raise_()
parent.activateWindow()
c.cleo.loadIcons(nd)
c.redraw()
c.bringToFront()
c.bodyWantsFocusNow()

GTD checkin messages and workflow
Starting now, the checkin log for commits involving the to-do list and project notes will start with GTD (Getting Things Done), and *maybe* some additional explanatory comments. You will have noticed that there have been *many* checkins re to-do and project notes recently. Imo, they are essential so that I don't have to remember either what has been done or what remains to be done. Doubters should definitely read http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/0142000280 And here is a surprisingly useful workflow tip related to GTD. This will be prewriting for a FAQ entry. You may have noticed that ideas "intrude" while you are busy with something else. When that happens to me, I create a top-level node of the form:: ** description of idea Now I can continue what I was doing! This is such a simple idea, but it's really really important: it means I never have to put off getting my ideas into Leo. And the "**" draws my attention to the new to-do item. Later, when I am not fully immersed in the slightly-interrupted task, I can put the "**" node somewhere else. The point is that it's super important to deal with new ideas *instantly* but *without* greatly interrupting the task at hand. Creating "**" nodes does that. This new workflow has been a big improvement to my GTD practice. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
