#TASKPAPER INSERT SEPARATOR SOFTWARE#
taskpaper documents in a Dropbox folder so that they are backed up, versioned, and accessible from anywhere, like the Taskpaper iOS app.įor extended, complex, and collaborative projects (like website or application development), I use issue trackers and collaborative project management software (like Basecamp or GitHub). To activate it with a key, you can turn it into a service and attach a keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard panel of System Preferences, use FastScripts, or use your application launcher of choice (I use Alfred). Set a keyboard shortcut to open and hide TaskPaper so that you can get to it (and then get out of it) instantly. I set the destination document as Scratchpad. You can use the Quick Entry window in TaskPaper to add tasks for later sorting. I have Taskpaper Review in my Sunday list in the Weekly list.
The perfect placement of the tiles is accomplished with Divvy.ĭo a review of all of the panels at the end of each week to stay on top of it and get rid of things you'll never do. No note handles, no project handles, a project list vertical divider only for the Todo tile. I use the 'Standard' theme with a base font of Helvetica 14pt. I love this tile because it allows me to just dump things for later and not worry about where to put them or where to find them later. I don't let anything stay for more than a day or so - this is for information you need but don't want to commit to permanent storage or things you don't know if you'll need until a little while later. ScratchpadĪbsolutely anything can go here. Keep track of incoming postal packages, money owed, and entertainment with a release date-things you have no direct control over but of which you want to keep track.
You can use a very simple syntax to add tasks to the generated month.
#TASKPAPER INSERT SEPARATOR GENERATOR#
This list can be generated using the TaskPaper Month Generator (which has its own repository). I use Monthly for tasks and all of my events and appointments. You can move tasks into this tile from Todo if you want to schedule them for a particular day. If you're familiar with GTD, this is something like a tickler file. MonthlyĪ heading for each day of the month. My two lists in here are 'Daily' and 'Sunday'. DailyĪ heading for things that recur each day of the week, as well as things to be done each morning and night or on a certain day. At the very bottom of this list is the Someday/Maybe pile. I use the TaskPaper table-of-contents sidebar to break it up. These are personal todos-for hobbies, side-projects, or certain freelance work. The Tiles TodoĮvery task that isn't recurring, doesn't have a scheduled date, and isn't in another task management system like Basecamp or GitHub stays here.
The screenshot above shows my recommended placement and size for each tile. Enter your tasks in whichever tile you deem appropriate, and reorganize/add/edit/delete them as you work. The entire set of five tiles is referenced repeatedly throughout the day as necessary. This system works with the wonderfully simple TaskPaper.Īll projects, tasks, events, and notes are listed in one of five windows, or 'tiles': Todo, Daily, Monthly, Waiting, and Scratchpad. I encourage experimentation and customization. You should use whichever set of methods and tools helps you work the most effectively. I use this system as-is every day, but please consider it a starting point rather than dogma. It is lightweight, easy, and unobtrusive. An organizational method and task management system that uses TaskPaper and a few scripts.
