[Zim-wiki] Use Case: Manage daily tasks
Hi, I'd like to share my thoughts with you with regards to daily tasks. Those of you who already use Zim for task management are aware of the great feature of adding a task quite easily by adding brackets () in front of a text. Together with tagging, a due date and a priority which you can add to tasks you can then perfectly manage your task with the task list plugin as the task list plugin gathers all task spread all over all pages into one view. If these pages are related to topics this is all great to use. What if you have a task which you can't assign to an existing topic and it is not worth creating a page for it? Please try following then: · First you need to activate the Journal plugin (I suggest to use days and show the calendar) once · Each time you have a task which you can't do right away, select the day within the calendar by when you want to do the task o A new page is created with the day number below the months below the year o Within this page add this: TODO: @_DailyTasks () This is my task which has no direct topic but needs to be done @Murat () This is another task which I have to do at the same day @Murat So far so good. Why is this use case worth mentioning ? First of all, when you start the tasklist plugin and look for the _DailyTasks tag, you will see all your daily tasks with the page names which are basically the due dates. Secondly if you haven't managed to do the tasks at the due dates, you can easily move the overdue tasks by selection the whole text (including TODO:...) and right click the mouse and select 'move selected text'. Type in the Year:Month:Day into the dialog to which you want to move the tasks to (click add link if you want to keep the original day). This gives me a new idea for a plugin which helps you moving all tasks in the Journal which are due to a given new page(date) :) Have fun!

Re: [Zim-wiki] Use Case: Manage daily tasks
The day I gave up putting due dates in the future on my tasks, my life with Zim became less date maintenance and more productive work. My use-case is to set the due date to the day I create the task and never move it. The task list plugin becomes a list of age. The older a task is, the less important was it in the first place. In the task list field 'Labels marking tasks' I usually add 'MAYBE' as a task tag (not using @maybe as that pollutes my tag space) When the Journal plugin is enabled, I just hit alt-d and write on that page: * MAYBE Look into that web page describing how to turn a foo into a bar. This will show up in the task list under MAYBE and the page name will be the date when I put it in. If I happen to want that maybe to go away from the task list either because I have done it or I don't want to be bothered, I go to the page and apply strike format to MAYBE. It goes away from the task list, but stays in my notebook in case I ever do a search for foo or bar. I like to think that things that once were important, will be important again, so I never delete anything if I can help it. Just hide it a bit by striking it out. On topic pages, I sometimes put in FIXMEs (must happen soon), TODOs (should be done) and MAYBEs (done at my own discretion) in nested list. * TODO [d:2015-06-23] Write a serious document about my revolutionary zim use-case * TODO [d:2015-06-24] Try out some of Murat's plug-ins Show up as nested todos in the task list. I keep separate topic pages for each project I work on. If I do something notable on a task, I hit alt-d to bring up a journal page of today, and pull in a back-link from the project topic page and start typing my findings. If I happen to do something revolutionary on another task, I pull a link from that page also, separating tasks with a few newlines. Now the project topic page will have backlinks to each day with notable findings. By opening the backlinks in tear-off mode, I can walk through my jottings on the project in a comfortable manner. This work habit has lead to opening a journal page for each day just to document which project I am working on, even if I don't have so much to write. There is always something to note down. -- Svenn ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
