Hi there, this is Rainer. I have
a 10-minute time slot at the EmacsConf
and I will show you a quick walk
through my GTD system in Org mode, so
let's start with capturing. We want to
capture what we do here. So the idea
is I press F6 and I say: "I want to make a
small project because this video
will be a small project," so the thing is:
"Record a video for Emacs Conf 2020."
Video is recorded, edited,
and uploaded. We can also
set the timeline because we want to
upload it. The time,
the deadline for uploads is--we know it
already--the 14th of November.
so let me put this in here. See, this is done.
Now, because it's a project... I mean, I
could say just one task to record a
video, but it's too much, so let's split it down in a few
small tasks. The next one...
So you see, I've just typed a few
quick tasks. We can see them if we look
in the capture file.
You see, there's my project entry and
there are all my tasks. Since it's a
project, I can now
make it easy. I just indent every task by one
and then, so...
Okay, so you see we have one
project here, and this one we refile now
to our backlog.
So if we look in our backlog,
you see my project with all the tasks.
So now, next one.
I pretend now I'm doing a weekly review.
C-c x b.
And I already did some things, and now
the point where I am
is scheduled tasks with no date.
Those are all those tasks. So I have a
weekly review helper that says, okay,
show me everything
that I need to schedule, plan.
So schedule this class. We do everything.
So everything is scheduled now,
and we can check off that and so on.
We can... I have a plan
for every day. That's my free plan.
I press F6,
and I say p p plan.
Private things. You see there is the
first day, 12th of November, German.
And now I can look at what I have to do today.
My agenda view is very long, and I just want
to focus on a few tasks, so
I copied them to my daily plan.
I just want to show you. So I have a
daily plan for every day, and that means
this one is what I see,
and this one is gone.
So now, let's pretend we are working on
the first: we find the requirements for
the video.
We had a look. Okay,
I can mark this task as done here
because I knew the requirements. C-c t.
Done. Format is 720p, webm codec.
So this one is done and I can mark it
off here as well. So now I have marked it off
everywhere. The good thing of my
daily plan is that I can
really see it all the day. I stick to
this, what I decided in the morning what
I want to do.
So let's go to the next one. Make a quick test.
Yeah, I did the test already.
I will do a small trick. I say, okay, I
record the video here.
Video recorded. Then let me do
what to show.
Now I'm recording the video.
Let's see. What we do: we had capture, we had
weekly review, we had daily planning.
How are we processing this? Very nice.
So let's pretend the video is recorded
C-c t done.
Let me put this to NEXT again. Start
kdenlive to time lapse.
After recording it,
I pretend this is done now.
C-c t done.
Then I have a video ready.
Let's pretend I did the upload
as well. Done. Video uploaded.
So I can say everything now is done.
Save it, so tomorrow I see what I did yesterday.
Here I'm completely done.
We have the weekly review.
We put another
buffer here because I want to show you
the final step of my weekly review.
If you see, there's a final step that
says: select finished tasks and make a bulk
archive action. So if you look at my
EmacsConf thing, okay, the project is
done as well.
Project C-c t done.
And then, what I can do is now see
a weekly review helper.
Finished tasks. I could
make a bulk operation that says archive everything,
but at the moment I don't need to do
that because we have
a tree structure, so it's C-c x a I have this
task away, and the task is done. So that's
it. That's my system you see: from
capturing tasks, to scheduling tasks,
to putting it on the daily plan,
performing it, and at the end, when
everything is done,
the next weekly review they will go
to the archive file,
because it's finished. Thank you for
watching. That's it.
