You need to add another action item: "schedule kitchen cleaning". This is 
the last task to be completed and to complete it, you make a new set of 
to-do entries that are a duplicate of the current set (or at least the ones 
that should be done regularly) but with a due date in the future.

Hey! How come mine doesn't work that way? When I check off a finished

strike-thru yours has. Is there some magic CSS I need to tweak?

OK! So I  went ahead and installed Thoma's ToDo, and here is how it looks 
like in action:


 
What I like about having my projects this way is that the checklist is 
ordered in a way that makes sense to me (one of my rules is to try not use

repeating it... 

Want to figure out a way to turn off the ability to mark this one as done 
at the bottom row... because this is an ongoing one. But this is pure 
cosmetics. Any questions, let me know! :)

@Josiah

Like you I've tried dozens of information systems. In fact, I need an 
information system to track the information systems I've used.

I dropped InfoSelect when they changed their pricing policy overnight 
moving to a subscription model. Except that the subscription cost more than 
my initial investment. Also, IS is mono-platform.

Hi Shay,

Some name confusion. I think you're referring to Danielo's excellent 
suggestions. 

About synchronization. If you're still using a desktop or laptop, then you 
can use something like Synchthing to synchronize your files. In theory (as 
I understand it) you could leave your device running and synch to it from 
somewhere off-site via relays (though I've never tried it). 

About Thomas Elmiger's ToDoNow plugin for TW, it's actually pretty 
intuitive to use. What may be missing is the on-ramp. The secret is, just 
open TodoNowTiddler. Close every thing else. The TNT is the main dashboard 
and allows you to add new items, organize them by priority and date, 
quickly put them into projects (tags), and add notes (including 
checklists). About 30 minutes of playing and you should know everything you 
need to get started.

The GTD "cult" probably got a boost from the Franklin-Covey thing, which 
was like an industry-driven cult (Big business is swamped with 'cults' and 
'memes', usually loaded down with acronyms). It reminds me of the 
"Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" which outsold its competitors because it 
was (1) Cheaper and (2) Emblazened with the words "Don't Panic". The FC 
people were busy attending expensive seminars and purchasing expensive 
custom notebooks. By contrast, Allen's book was $10, called for no 
expensive supplies, and he advocated a zen-like approach to make your mind 
"like water."

Good luck!
Mark

Hello Mark! 

Thanks for answering my questions thoroughly. I took a look at your app, 
and I don't think I'll try it right now, but you did give me an idea - 
create a specific note *type *for what information needs to be entered, and 
basically, have it ready on my phone. After all, we're talking HTML files, 
so what's the big deal of just contributing to a tidder which will 
eventually be imported into my main TW? 

The only issue I see is right syncronazation. In the past, I had a somewhat 
complex mechanism that would update my TW via dropbox and Google Drive, and 
I'm not really interested in getting back at that just because I want to 
implement a ToDo mechanism. It's kinda of going backward for me, you know? 
I'm going to think some more...

I agree with you deeply sir. I'm guessing I'm not as experienced as you, 
but I am tired of productivity apps and to-do list apps out there that are 
based on yet another company sitting on Amazon's servers somewhere hoping 
to create an account for you and then down along the line some 
social-network, and if they survive long enough, integrate some sort of a 
chat app into it as well.. man, it's a pattern I see time and time again. 
Don't care. TW is a private thing for me (it's my journal), it is not 
really meant to share as a to do app, and if I want to ask someone to do 
something, I make a to do to tell that person to do it.. right? I digress. 

GTD is one big cult thing I missed on. I have the book and all and tried 
it, but it just didn't do the thing for me. I have my own system, which I 
developed throughout the years, and it is this system that survives through 
the apps, and made its way into TW as well for a while. If you want to 
share more of how you actually write your projects and tasks down, even 
show me if you will, I'd be more than happy to see.

I took a deep look. It looks impressive, and I'm working out how to use it 
exactly. Thomas' work looks solid and he is very organized, but the "jump" 
is too high for me to understand at first or second glance. I'm going to 
install the plugin, run it, work on it, see how it works, maybe get in 
touch with him directly. When I understand how it works I'll see if it fits 
my needs. I hope so, because saving my tasks and projects in TW, along with 
my journal notes and my personal information, makes perfect sense. I'd love 
to replace it with Google Keep, which I now use, if possible.

Excellent to have this laid out so well ... I'll comment on ToDos

*Third question: *What do you, TW users, use as your favorite note taking

I'm old and worn out. I've seen the rise and fall of more GTD systems than 
God. Before they went computer they were filofax. Before filofax they were 
note assemblies. Before note assemblies they were etc ... I worked through 
Covey, MindMaps, Giants Within, ultimate systems etc ...

The point about GTD's, it turns out was never the systems, it was always 
the user. There is NO GTD system that fits all. The BEST GTD's are ones you 
create for yourself that emerge from your own process that fit you. In 
other words: decent GTD systems are emergent expressions of you, they are 
themselves part of the GTD you are working on. In that regard TW is very 
good because of the extent you can customize it. And, to use a 
philosophical term, TW inherently supports "reflexivity".

But still I want to widen your query to answer it properly. The options are 
WIDER than software. They have to be because software is not me per se. 
Software is an animal I can train, but only to the extent to which it can 
perform the tricks I need. And paper remains pretty damn good for lateral 
thinking and I use it a lot. And GTD's that last are adaptive to thinking 
about "what am i doing?" as much as "when am i doing it?" Its been a big 
error in the history of GTDs to ever pretend otherwise.

For people who need ALARM CALLS to GTD, TW does not yet fit the bill. It 
has no alert mechanism that can prod the somnambulant GTDer to awake to The 
Priority.

I have been very impressed and now use daily Thomas Elmiger's ToDoNow 
plugin for TW. Why? Its orientated to the singular user. Its agnostic about 
ones aims. It depicts tasks in CONTEXT (for me that OVERVIEW is more 
important than the singular tasks). Its one of the most elegant designs for 
a GTD I ever seen in my years of travail on the ToDo path.

Then you have Cardo in TW that can deal with very complex projects. And if 
I was running one I'd definitely consider it. Its not far off full Project 
Management Software, yet without the complexity of their interfaces.

to implement in TW how that worked if I had the skill. Its display 
mechanism was brilliant. Everything was by default OPEN. Then as you typed 
into the filter the widgets on screen reduced to only what you needed. I 
loved it. You didn't search then click on an item. The search itself 
dynamically reduced the entries. Unicode killed it unfortunately. It was 
ASCII only.

Best wishes
Josiah

[tw] Re: Request: Advanced Tips from Veteran TW users (discussion, not technical)

['Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki]

Hi Danielo,

A few questions --

What mobile device do you use?

What mobile browser?

How long does it take for a TW file to come up? It takes about 20 seconds 
on my tablet and 30 seconds on my phone. This makes it difficult to take 
quick notes.

Do you add images to noteself?

My problem with noteself is that you're still depending on someone else's 
cloud storage. Does noteself have an option to encrypt the data on the 
server?

Thanks!
Mark

I have the same requirements as you. That's why I go through the journey of 
creating my own app.

As I said, yes I do. 

My strategy is composed of several parts, but it is heavily based on my own 
tiddlywiki edition: https://noteself.github.io 

The first part of my strategy is to create a VERY SPECIFIC form for adding 
the kind of information that I usually add. This includes input text with 
auto-completion, select lists, and that stuff. Then I have a dashboard 
tiddlers with several tabs with one form on each tab

The second part of my strategy includes the usage of my NoteSelf android 
app. The cool thing is that I can share a text from any other application 
and it will be added as a tiddler. Not the most useful thing in the world, 
but saves some keystrokes.

The third part of my app consist on the multi device synchronization of 
NoteSelf. 99% of my content is produced while I'm on my laptop. Thanks to 
the multi device sync I can create basic versions of the tiddlers on mobile 
and then I edit properly on my laptop. For scrapping snippets and links 
what I usually do is share the link with my android app and then copy the 
snippet when I arrive to my home.

I've been using it for years. But I really think that is a better idea to 
close the tab when you are not using it. Tiddlywiki does not manage 
over-writings very well. Even using NoteSelf, which uses a database shared 
across all the tabs I don't usually keep them open.

Here on the group. Sadly, it is VERY HARD to keep visibility when you 
publish a new plugin. There is a list on reddit, but I'm not sure how up to 
date it is.

I use Tiddlywiki for everything except for TODOS. The reason behind this is 
that I need reminders, widgets, repetitions, notifications... and that is 
not possible wit TW at the moment. I also like keeping my notes apart from 
my todos. 
However, I have plans to allow Tiddlywiki to raise android notifications 
when running on my android app, but that is just a future plan.
