Subject: PATCH: include in-progress/started todos into daily agenda
Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 16:50:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sl51dud4.wl%max@openchat.com> (raw)
I had always used the day/weekly/mothly agenda vs the searchable
agenda separately and sometimes missed things because they were in one
list but not another. For example when looking into a tags based
agenda for :computer, I may have missed some other item that was
scheduled for today but not tagged with computer, and via versa.
The method described in the post titled "Not using GTD" post, where
only the daily agenda is the primary agenda used solves this problem,
but I don't like to schedule/reschedule my items all the time.
So inspired by the "Not using GTD" post, proposed patch allows
specifying a TODO type that would always be included into daily
agenda on a current day, as if it was scheduled.
So one can just mark items that need to be worked on doing the day as
lets say "INPROGRESS" and they would stay in the daily agenda
alongside/intermixed with the items scheduled for today until you
close them. If you like to postpone the item, you put it as TODO
again, and it would disappear.
Proposed patch is as plain text below, feel free to rewrite/change
as the method I've used may not have been optimal.
Regards,
Max
