Toiling — rejoicing — sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a night’s repose.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) American poet
“The Village Blacksmith,” st. 7 (1840)

What’s your #1 go-to button in the panel, and what comes in second?
- it's very easy to add to do items by tagging them as #tasks, it's a quick muscle memory thing, and then I separately configured an "inbox" where I can sort through them and provide more info (categorization, "do date", due date, etc). or if it's an important task I can add all that info relatively easily (in like 15 seconds instead of 2)
- Tana has a calendar mode and a kanban board mode so if I want to change around due/do dates, or statuses, using that kind of UX it's easy

Correct me if I'm wrong but ...Isn't QA supposed to be independent of dev work?
If I assign something to our QA guy... does it make sense for him or our PM to ask me to :
-run the data loader or
-run this stored proc
-some other tech task
Just so he can do his task?
I have things to do.
QA should be able to:
start programs
run queries
General tech work
There were a decent amount of fixes and improvements to taskfinder since the last release, so I just released a new version, 2.3.0.
The changelog covers the details: https://codeberg.org/kdwarn/taskfinder/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md#2-3-0-https-codeberg-org-kdwarn-taskfinder-compare-v2-2-1-v2-3-0-2024-10-18.
Usage: https://codeberg.org/kdwarn/taskfinder/src/branch/main/USAGE.md
Install: https://codeberg.org/kdwarn/taskfinder/src/branch/main/INSTALL.md
After publishing, I got an email from crates.io noting that it was successful, which I'm pretty sure is new. Helpful addition, @rust!
I just created a program that uses an AI language model to go through my task list and calendar, prioritize the tasks according to who am I and what I do, what's the situation in our company and how much I get to do during my work day, top 5 and recommendations why and what should be postponed.
This gets saved to my Obsidian vault as markdown note each morning for me to start working.
All this with bash.
PS. I hate the over-utilization of AI, but it's good for repetitive monkey things and secretary type of tasks.
On se vaan mukavaa, kun voi aikatauluttaa lomatekemisenkin kivasti kalenteriin. Time blocking workflowni toimii seuraavasti:
1. Lisää kaikki oleellinen tekeminen tehtäviksi (Obsidian, Sunsama)
2. Tehtäville kategoria, suoritusaika ja päiväys (Sunsama)
3. Aikatauluta kalenteriin (Sunsama)
4. Aamuisin: Tarkista agenda

Tiedän, että monia ahdistaa tällainen, mutta muista, että ihmiset ovat erilaisia. Minua ahdistaa "avaruudessa lilluminen", eli jos asiat eivät ole ylhäällä ja aikataulutettu. Kontrolli omaan ajan käyttöön ei vie vapautta vaan lisää sitä.
@jake I'm happy to have made a small contribution to this new release of Django Tasks 0.2.0

Not intending to start up 'tasks' again and with the GE done after 4th July I won't have daily things to 'toot'. I'm wondering if that's a good or not so good thing for me. Life is a bit squishy ATM. Maybe I will get back to talking about art, now there's a notion! #Art #Election #Tasks #Mastodon #Fediverse
Who knew that the best task app I have ever used, is able to sticky on top like I have always wanted to and on top of that, free ...turns out to be Microsoft To Do
@thunderbird How would I debug #caldav #tasks not being fetched with #thunderbird 115.9.0 (64-bit) #flatpak? New tasks created in Thunderbird are pushed to the CalDAV server but such that are created on other devices are not pulled. The tasks sync fine with Tasks.org on my Android phone. I already tried to look at the Flatpak log, but nothing related shows up.
I have an #idea for a #Thunderbird #extension, but I don't know how to code it:
#Kanban view for tasks
#tasks already have status which could be converted to columns:
Not specified → #backlog
Needs action → to do
In Process
Completed
***POLL TIME*** - Do you make #notes / #tasks / #todos in electronic form? Do you like making #Lists? If so, HOW? #Trello? #OneNote? txt files in your #Dropbox? #Silverbullet? send yourself emails? TheBrain?
In particular WHY that particular method? need cross device/platform? 2 b available online? What (about this, or any method) are challenges to you? Do you struggle to organize your notes? What would you wish was better?
Y? am working on a thing that *may* help.
Boosts appreciated :)
Find of the day! An open, human readable format for tracking tasks in a text file. It's very tidy, and there's a wide ecosystem of apps and tools built up around it. Good enough to compete with any proprietary offering...

Viimeinen lomapäivä, eli on hyvä hetki suunnitella loppuviikon kalenteri.
Ajanhallintametodini (Rollen produktiivisuusmalli™) on kuin yhdistelmä David Allenin GTD:tä, säntillistä aikatauluttamista Leo Straniuksen tyyliin ja antisäätämistä Anna Perhon tyyliin (mainiot kirjat heillä btw).
