WEBVTT

00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:06.240
Hi there, this is Rainer. I have

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.559
a 10-minute time slot at the EmacsConf

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:11.759
and I will show you a quick walk

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:17.039
through my GTD system in Org mode, so

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.520
let's start with capturing. We want to

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:24.080
capture what we do here. So the idea

00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:27.279
is I press F6 and I say: "I want to make a

00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:29.599
small project because this video

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:33.120
will be a small project," so the thing is:

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:42.000
"Record a video for Emacs Conf 2020."

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.920
Video is recorded, edited,

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.360
and uploaded. We can also

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:52.160
set the timeline because we want to

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:53.680
upload it. The time,

00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:56.640
the deadline for uploads is--we know it

00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.440
already--the 14th of November.

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:03.600
so let me put this in here. See, this is
done.

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:05.760
Now, because it's a project... I mean, I

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.600
could say just one task to record a

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:12.159
video, but it's too much, so let's split
it down in a few

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:40.400
small tasks. The next one...

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.439
So you see, I've just typed a few

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.159
quick tasks. We can see them if we look

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:50.240
in the capture file.

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:52.399
You see, there's my project entry and

00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:54.479
there are all my tasks.  Since it's a

00:01:54.479 --> 00:01:56.799
project, I can now

00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:05.360
make it easy. I just indent every
task by one

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:18.560
and then, so...

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:23.120
Okay, so you see we have one

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.360
project here, and this one we refile now

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:36.160
to our backlog.

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:42.000
So if we look in our backlog,

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.599
you see my project with all the tasks.

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:52.480
So now, next one.

00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:56.720
I pretend now I'm doing a weekly review.

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:01.040
C-c x b.

00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:04.080
And I already did some things, and now

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.120
the point where I am

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.319
is scheduled tasks with no date.

00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:15.200
Those are all those tasks. So I have a

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:17.519
weekly review helper that says, okay,

00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:19.040
show me everything

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:22.080
that I need to schedule, plan.

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:30.879
So schedule this class. We do
everything.

00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.040
So everything is scheduled now,

00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:38.239
and we can check off that and so on.

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:42.000
We can... I have a plan

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.959
for every day. That's my free plan.

00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:46.879
I press F6,

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.239
and I say p p plan.

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:53.439
Private things. You see there is the

00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.360
first day, 12th of November, German.

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:03.200
And now I can look at what I have to do
today.

00:04:04.239 --> 00:04:07.040
My agenda view is very long, and I just want

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:09.360
to focus on a few tasks, so

00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:22.639
I copied them to my daily plan.

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.680
I just want to show you. So I have a

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.919
daily plan for every day, and that means

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:33.919
this one is what I see,

00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:37.680
and this one is gone.

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.360
So now, let's pretend we are working on

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.600
the first: we find the requirements for

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:44.960
the video.

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:48.320
We had a look. Okay,

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:51.520
I can mark this task as done here

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:53.520
because I knew the requirements. C-c t.

00:04:54.840 --> 00:05:05.199
Done. Format is 720p, webm codec.

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.440
So this one is done and I can mark it

00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:14.560
off here as well. So now I have marked it off

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.600
everywhere. The good thing of my

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.600
daily plan is that I can

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.600
really see it all the day. I stick to

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.520
this, what I decided in the morning what

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:24.639
I want to do.

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.080
So let's go to the next one. Make
a quick test.

00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:38.000
Yeah, I did the test already.

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.720
I will do a small trick. I say, okay, I

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.639
record the video here.

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.960
Video recorded. Then let me do

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:55.120
what to show.

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.319
Now I'm recording the video. 

00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.240
Let's see. What we do: we had
capture, we had

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.440
weekly review, we had daily planning.

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:09.919
How are we processing this? Very nice.

00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:12.319
So let's pretend the video is recorded

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:17.520
C-c t done.

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:20.479
Let me put this to NEXT again. Start

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:27.280
kdenlive to time lapse.

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:30.319
After recording it,

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.759
I pretend this is done now.

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.039
C-c t done.

00:06:39.039 --> 00:06:42.400
Then I have a video ready.

00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:44.639
Let's pretend I did the upload

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:50.639
as well. Done. Video uploaded.

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.280
So I can say everything now is done.

00:06:55.280 --> 00:06:59.199
Save it, so tomorrow I see what I did
yesterday.

00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.560
Here I'm completely done.

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.000
We have the weekly review.

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.680
We put another

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.639
buffer here because I want to show you

00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.199
the final step of my weekly review.

00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:19.199
If you see, there's a final step that

00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.599
says: select finished tasks and make a bulk

00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:24.160
archive action. So if you look at my

00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.560
EmacsConf thing, okay, the project is

00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:27.440
done as well.

00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:31.360
Project C-c t done.

00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.880
And then, what I can do is now see

00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:38.160
a weekly review helper.

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.680
Finished tasks. I could

00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:48.639
make a bulk operation that says
archive everything,

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.639
but at the moment I don't need to do

00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.720
that because we have

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.720
a tree structure, so it's C-c x a I have this

00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.080
task away, and the task is done. So that's

00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:02.800
it. That's my system you see: from

00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.080
capturing tasks, to scheduling tasks,

00:08:06.080 --> 00:08:08.000
to putting it on the daily plan,

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.759
performing it, and at the end, when

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:11.120
everything is done,

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.199
the next weekly review they will go

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.879
to the archive file,

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.199
because it's finished. Thank you for

00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:21.959
watching. That's it.
