00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:03.439
Hello, and welcome

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:07.200
to my Org GTD talk.

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.400
I wrote this package because myself

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:12.719
overwhelmed with all the stuff I had to

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:14.320
manage at working at home

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.359
and I'd heard about gtd saw someone

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:18.720
using it with

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:22.320
just a small notebook

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.720
and I wanted to do it in Emacs because

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:25.920
well

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.199
max can do everything right so

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.359
I'm going to jump in quickly so just so

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.559
you know here's kind of a list of the

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:36.960
resources obviously org gtd which you

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.719
can find there you can open an issue ask

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.120
me questions there about it

00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:43.280
I use org edna a package for state

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.360
triggers I'm going to show this briefly

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:46.160
when I

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:49.840
finish item in a project

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.000
org agenda property you will see in the

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.440
agenda it's going to show

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:57.360
to whom an action has been delegated to

00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:00.960
and you will see orgrome briefly as a

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:02.559
reference because that is what I have

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:04.080
chosen for

00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:06.960
my knowledge archival tool you can

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:07.360
choose

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:12.640
whatever you prefer

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.520
um this is a quick quick reminder on

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:15.840
what

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.479
gtd is and how it works uh this is not a

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:19.680
lesson on

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.640
presentation on gtd because that would

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:23.360
be

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:25.680
well other people have done it better

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.920
than me

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.320
so in short um everything goes into the

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:31.280
inbox

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.320
and then you process the inbox and you

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:35.600
decide what to do if

00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:37.200
it could be actionable or not if it's

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.119
actionable it could be a project

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:40.799
or it could be a single action which you

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.159
could delegate

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.759
or soon or schedule or just do

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:48.079
do it if it's not actionable you could

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:49.680
just throw it away

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.759
incubate it for later or move it into

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:53.600
your files

00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:57.520
reference

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:01.920
over here

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.119
you can see the global bindings

00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:08.959
or or gtd those are the the actions that

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:11.599
the functions I have made available this

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:12.319
is

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.000
in progress there's more to come some

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:15.760
stuff is probably missing but

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:17.360
it's grown mostly from my own personal

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.400
use so far so it doesn't have things

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.520
and the bottom right you can see the

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.200
agenda

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:28.560
one thing I wanted to do with this

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.599
package was leverage org mode as much as

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:32.959
possible

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:36.319
so I tried to not reinvent

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.160
the wheel as much as I could that meant

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:43.599
reusing the agenda you can see here

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.599
a couple of the things that are made

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.920
available or kind of

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:49.760
custom customized or configure it for

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:54.319
you some of the opinions that or gtd has

00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.400
up here for instance you can see a

00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:57.840
delegated action

00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.040
so a delegated action is

00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:03.200
as someone to whom it's delegated it's

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:04.720
my parents in this case

00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:06.080
it has the name of the action ask

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.239
parents what gift they want

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:11.599
it's marked as the tag as the state

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.800
of wait because I'm waiting

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.280
and it is scheduled because you should

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:18.080
ping people

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.239
or check on the status status of a task

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:21.840
when you're waiting for it so you don't

00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.680
forget about it or it gets lost forever

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.599
I have a scheduled action to give a talk

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.560
that's what I'm doing right now

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.440
and I have an incubated action which is

00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:35.599
also scheduled to make money through the

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:36.640
lottery this is a

00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:38.640
thing to take a look at for you know

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:41.120
later decide later what I want to do

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:42.560
it might be actionable it might not be I

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.560
just I don't know right now or I didn't

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.239
know when I

00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:49.280
processed it so I incubated it

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.319
underneath we have all the things that

00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:53.200
are

00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:59.360
direct actions for me to take

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.439
all right you see a little bit of the

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.200
preparation seeps through the actual

00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:04.080
talk

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:05.519
so I have here two I have a single

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:07.920
action of a steal the android uh andreas

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:09.840
gtd configuration

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.879
and an action to read the gtd book it's

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.320
part of a project

00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:21.680
so most of the day-to-day operation with

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.840
with this package should come through

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:26.000
just having the agenda open

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.600
and having having it be your your source

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.199
for the information you need to know so

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:31.919
that you can

00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:34.960
do the right thing so let's take a look

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:35.440
at

00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:37.440
what's underneath all of this really

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:39.600
quickly

00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.320
we have there's three primary files um

00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:43.360
we have the inbox

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.759
I'm gonna process it in a second because

00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:46.400
there's

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:48.880
two things here one thing to cancel like

00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:50.000
an action to

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.919
not take it's nothing and then something

00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:53.919
I will just put into org roam just so

00:04:53.919 --> 00:04:54.479
you can

00:04:54.479 --> 00:04:58.960
see that there is the incubate file

00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:00.240
you can see here make money through the

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.000
lottery

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.800
captured refiled here and scheduled to

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.560
so it would show up in the agenda

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.000
right at a given time and on the right

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.039
you have the actionable file and this is

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:14.560
the one that has the most information

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.919
because

00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:18.960
where most things should go so

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:20.560
I have the single actions they all go

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.720
underneath here and so

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.479
this is marked as next because it's an

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:26.240
action for me to take

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.240
uh delegated is marked as weight it is

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:29.600
not an action for me to take it's an

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.199
action for somebody else to take but it

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:32.400
is scheduled because

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:37.919
I may wanna I can check in at some point

00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:38.400
uh

00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:39.759
things that are scheduled like give a

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.120
talk do not have a to-do or next or wait

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.960
state because they are not bound that

00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:46.400
way they are time-bound

00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:48.080
so they will show up in the agenda when

00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:50.320
the time comes I shouldn't act on them

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:53.840
or I can't act on them beforehand

00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:55.280
you can see here I have two projects a

00:05:55.280 --> 00:05:56.880
test project and I will

00:05:56.880 --> 00:05:58.880
do something with this in a second and

00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:00.080
then there's this

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:01.919
package make a gte package there's a

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:04.000
project here for me to create this back

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.520
it's made a bunch of actions and

00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:09.759
I'm going to show you two things here

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.440
one is

00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:14.639
since I was trying to leverage org mode

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.400
as much as possible

00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:20.479
I didn't try to create very clever

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:24.080
operations because org mode has a lot of

00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:27.199
very powerful tools already

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.600
so there's automations I could I can add

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.039
but I thought it might be

00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:34.240
better to leave more things into the

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:35.680
hands of the user

00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.000
so here in this case this test project

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.199
we can just archive

00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.479
right that's just

00:06:42.479 --> 00:06:45.680
control c control x control a is the org

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:46.840
archive

00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:52.000
action save this

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.479
so now if I if we go to the you know

00:06:54.479 --> 00:06:56.160
this will create an archive file

00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.440
which will have this this information

00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:00.560
for later perusal

00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.840
brutal if you're interested that's

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:05.360
that's one thing if we go back to the

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.199
agenda for a second

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.479
um you can see

00:07:10.479 --> 00:07:14.080
these things here uh org so by the way

00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:16.479
uh this this parents here with the org

00:07:16.479 --> 00:07:19.120
agenda property this is what shows here

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.319
right and here if I finish read the gtd

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:23.680
book

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.680
I mark it as done now refresh

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.919
you'll see that another item shows up

00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:34.720
and that is where org edna comes in when

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.280
an action is marked as done in a project

00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:39.759
the net the next to do action is

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.360
automatically marked as next so your

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.759
agenda is automatically updated

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.400
this was one of the nice things for me

00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:48.400
because I didn't want to have to

00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:50.400
open my file go find the action mark it

00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:51.919
as done find the next one mark it as

00:07:51.919 --> 00:07:53.440
next and so forth

00:07:53.440 --> 00:07:57.280
so I didn't want to bother with it

00:07:57.280 --> 00:07:58.960
um oh actually you know what let me show

00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:00.960
you something else

00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:04.080
this uh simple

00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:07.120
project I don't need this timestamp to

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:07.840
be here but

00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:09.680
I like having a capture timestamp here

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.039
so I'm gonna make one up

00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:15.919
so this is the most convenient thing

00:08:15.919 --> 00:08:16.879
that I think

00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:17.919
this is one of the most convenient

00:08:17.919 --> 00:08:20.720
things that I get out of is binding

00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.960
the next really convenient thing is the

00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:24.400
way this gets processed

00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:27.440
let me show you this um

00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:30.080
when you process the the entire inbox

00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:31.440
what you see is

00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:33.440
the items one at a time so you can work

00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:34.560
with them

00:08:34.560 --> 00:08:36.320
you can see at the bottom where you can

00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.320
work with them without being distracted

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.320
you can see at the bottom the the list

00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:42.399
of things you can do which are all the

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.120
decisions you can take from gtd right in

00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:45.760
this case

00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:48.959
this is one to throw out so press t you

00:08:48.959 --> 00:08:50.959
have the option to make modifications to

00:08:50.959 --> 00:08:52.320
this if you want to

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.200
if you have any reason to store it then

00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.240
you finish editing

00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.160
you can add a tag if you want to because

00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:00.080
this might still be interesting

00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.720
and then enter and it's done so

00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:03.920
important knowledge

00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:06.959
I'm going to hit a for archive it

00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:10.880
and then um I'm gonna start looking at

00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:12.160
orgrom

00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:20.800
so this is uh important knowledge

00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:23.519
I have to get to this that's it I've

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.640
captured it

00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:27.920
uh it is done I uh

00:09:27.920 --> 00:09:30.959
go back to buffer

00:09:30.959 --> 00:09:34.080
and I can market control c then

00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.360
there's no archiving because this is

00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.279
just knowledge there's no

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:38.800
tagging it's just knowledge but then the

00:09:38.800 --> 00:09:40.320
simple project I want to show you this

00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:41.040
because

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:42.800
there's some automation that's pretty

00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:44.640
helpful so

00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:48.839
in the simple project I have my first

00:09:48.839 --> 00:09:50.000
action

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.920
second action third action

00:09:53.920 --> 00:09:55.360
and you see this is all I'm writing I'm

00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:56.720
not adding any of the states any of the

00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.399
tags they're going to be added by

00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.320
so um here I can add a

00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:05.839
I can add a tag if I want to this

00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:07.360
project I don't care

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.920
right now but you know I leave the tags

00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:11.279
to the user so they're not super

00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:11.920
relevant

00:10:11.920 --> 00:10:15.440
to me as a package

00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:19.279
provider and this is where we are this

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:19.600
is

00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:21.200
the whole thing so now if we go back to

00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.519
the agenda

00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:27.600
I have a first action right and

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.720
if I go to the actionable file and now

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.959
see I have a simple project that has my

00:10:32.959 --> 00:10:34.079
first action as next

00:10:34.079 --> 00:10:36.880
second option to do third action as to

00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:38.079
do

00:10:38.079 --> 00:10:41.360
uh so what I've you know

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:42.880
as you can see I hope what I've tried to

00:10:42.880 --> 00:10:47.200
do is take all of the kind of

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.880
all the tedium out of working with

00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:52.560
with emacs and org mode when working

00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:54.880
with your actions so you could focus on

00:10:54.880 --> 00:10:57.200
what you want to do what you need to do

00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:58.640
what you care about and the package

00:10:58.640 --> 00:10:59.279
would

00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:04.880
take care of the rest so

00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:06.240
the last thing I wanted to take a quick

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.000
look at was some of the the tests

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:08.640
there's

00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:11.120
the code is available here but you can

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.440
see the code

00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:14.800
you on see the code on github if you

00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:16.880
want um

00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:18.720
I've had some trouble writing good tests

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.320
for this because org mode was written at

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.000
a time before

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.000
testing was quite as important

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.200
I think or valued quite the same way

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.440
let's put it this way

00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.320
and as a result a number of things

00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:34.959
actually

00:11:34.959 --> 00:11:37.200
it might also be a feature of emacs at

00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:38.240
the time I don't know

00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.560
but a lot of things in order mode aren't

00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:42.480
very testable and so

00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.519
what I ended up doing was just having an

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:49.440
actual directory in which I

00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:53.360
actually um with files

00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.279
right so like I don't have much mocking

00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.120
I can do I can't just do a bunch of fake

00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:58.639
files fake directories

00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.200
so I actually go through the process

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.360
actually create files and then actually

00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.040
have emacs pointing at this

00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:08.839
directory to process and get the

00:12:08.839 --> 00:12:10.240
information

00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.240
so I have to define the key to test that

00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:13.920
gets bounded properly

00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:18.160
I have to set the capture templates um

00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:19.839
other capture templates are how you know

00:12:19.839 --> 00:12:21.839
things get added I have a wrapper

00:12:21.839 --> 00:12:25.600
control uh or gtd capture essentially is

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.279
a wrapper around the capture that

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.920
makes sure the inbox is there and then

00:12:29.920 --> 00:12:32.000
captures to the inbox

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:36.240
right and

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.360
making sure the items show in the agenda

00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.519
when I'm done with the with processing

00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:42.639
was a little bit

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.519
tricky I had a bug and I had to to fix

00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:46.800
it so I just wrote this

00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:49.600
this test but it's uh it's pretty

00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.480
convenient

00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:51.839
now to have that because it gives me a

00:12:51.839 --> 00:12:54.000
bunch of sanity so again I have a

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.040
capture and this is

00:12:55.040 --> 00:12:56.000
I wanted to be able to do this

00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.480
automatically but ojtd but or capture

00:12:58.480 --> 00:12:59.680
itself

00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:02.079
is not super testable right now so the

00:13:02.079 --> 00:13:03.200
way it's

00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:04.480
the way you test it is just by

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.519
programmatically calling it which

00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.279
is not exactly what I wanted because I

00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:10.639
wanted something more like

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.200
the user action but I'll you know what I

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.519
can get

00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.040
and then I can I'll just insert these

00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:19.360
words into the buffer and then

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.760
I'll finalize the capture then I have

00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:23.519
another I have a test package here

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.160
called with simulated input which

00:13:26.160 --> 00:13:29.920
um basically calls this and then enters

00:13:29.920 --> 00:13:33.040
these uh these user actions right so

00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:34.800
like the letter s

00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:39.040
control c c and then return and that is

00:13:39.040 --> 00:13:41.360
uh you know choosing a single action

00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:42.480
then finishing the edit

00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.360
and then adding zero and not adding tags

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:46.480
you

00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.639
as you can tell there's a strong layer

00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.320
of disconnect between the tests

00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.760
and what they represent that's a work in

00:13:53.760 --> 00:13:56.560
progress

00:13:56.560 --> 00:13:59.680
um so I have like four tests

00:13:59.680 --> 00:14:02.320
it's not a lot but I want to I intend to

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:03.680
add more as I keep on adding more

00:14:03.680 --> 00:14:05.040
behavior

00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:09.519
and I would like this to be eventually

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:14.320
a sane starting point for gt

00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.079
there's there's a lot of people like

00:14:16.079 --> 00:14:18.720
like andre I like reiner like

00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.959
I mean if you search for org mode and

00:14:20.959 --> 00:14:22.160
gtd you'll find

00:14:22.160 --> 00:14:25.279
a lot of blog entries a lot of

00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:27.600
entries a lot of articles that explain

00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.360
how to connect it together how to think

00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:31.199
that way how to use all the tools that

00:14:31.199 --> 00:14:34.880
orgmod makes available

00:14:34.880 --> 00:14:38.399
and hopefully this package is a way to

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.320
get started without having to write too

00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:41.040
much

00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:45.920
of your own code um

00:14:45.920 --> 00:14:47.279
then eventually you can move away from

00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:48.720
the package if you want if you realize

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:50.000
that you are developing different

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.000
opinions and you don't want to

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.160
if gtd doesn't work this way for you if

00:14:54.160 --> 00:14:55.519
you have a different way

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:57.839
it is a better fit for the way you want

00:14:57.839 --> 00:14:59.279
to organize your life

00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.720
then you know move away from the package

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.920
in the meanwhile I welcome all thoughts

00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:07.839
I welcome contributions I welcome

00:15:07.839 --> 00:15:10.079
questions bug reports everything

00:15:10.079 --> 00:15:13.920
so you know come say hi try the package

00:15:13.920 --> 00:15:17.040
and uh yeah see you

00:15:17.040 --> 00:15:20.560
I'll see you online
