11/18/2023 0 Comments Taskpaper app![]() TP refers to them as tags, and uses the normal GTD syntax (I guess) to refer to them. They aren’t necessarily part of the same project, but just things which are done at the same place (e.g., the same type of activity and so on. Avoiding special columns and a form interface, TP instead uses the following special text characters to signify meaning: “:” for projects, “-” for tasks, “” to nest tasks within other tasks (which are themselves nested within a project), any non-reserved character for notes, and for the interesting context.Ĭontexts are GTD’s way of giving you a way of lumping similar activities together. Nor does it complicate your ability to add extra info about the task (its metadata). (But you have to expect that from a GTD noob and a programmer.) The beauty is that by using a very simple text editor/outliner interface, TP doesn’t complicate the ability to change your organization of tasks and projects. ![]() You’ll be productive very quickly, but I also got my list complicated very quickly by adding sub-sub-headings to my project. It just uses an outline-like interface, and I emphasize that point. So with that interface in mind I set out to discover just how it was earning such wonderful reviews.īut TP isn’t exactly an outliner. Let’s face it, any device with less than five buttons on it leaves me scratching my head. Now I have to admit, being both a GTD noob and a programmer, TaskPaper’s interface threw me at first. So the next time I needed to jot down a task reminder, instead of using Mori, I opened up TaskPaper and gave it a try. ![]() Jesse prodded me a couple times to try it, and even provided me with a license. So unless your notes are one-liners used only to manage your activities, you’ll still need to grab a copy of Mori.īut the real reason not to be concerned is TaskPaper is an awesome app in its own right. But TaskPaper only manages tasks, not notes like Mori does. So when Jesse introduced his own GTD app, TaskPaper, as a simpler way to getting things done with “paper-like simplicity” I was of course concerned that it would cannibalize Mori sales. (I did at least listen to Merlin Mann’s David Allen interviews when I was on the road.) And now that I’m developing (and using) Mori I’ve even installed the mGTD plugin, but that was more for testing purposes than actually knowing what GTD was about (or how to use it). ![]() Now, I’ve had the audiobook for GTD for years but I’ve never listened to it. There are plenty of GTD software packages for those who prefer computer-based systems to paper, including two versions for Mori: Jeff Fisher’s mGTD plugin and Jim Harrison’s MoriGTD scripted system. Gettings Things Done (GTD) is a recent one with a lot of buzz and adopters. There are plenty of Time Management systems out there. But asking for more time to do things has to strike someone as having too many things to do, and being grown up enough to abandon or postpone those things for which there isn’t time. Everyone gets the same amount every day that is, if we’re getting the whole day. Dropbox is a good solution for syncing your TaskPaper files between various platforms.It doesn’t matter how much we complain about time, we’re not being realistic or honest about our use of it. I’ve organized them by platform as they are a great resource when you need to edit TaskPaper files by don’t have access to TaskPaper the app. The apps in this section all support editing TaskPaper files. The apps in this section all integrate with TaskPaper formatted files. Please add any apps that I’ve missed in alphabetical order. This is a “wiki” post, that’s means anyone can edit and add to it. ![]() This page list all apps that integrate with or edit TaskPaper formatted files. It’s also backed by an open source project that makes it easy for other app developers to work with TaskPaper files. TaskPaper (the app) is a Mac only right now.īut “.taskpaper” the file format is a plain text and supported by many different apps on different platforms such as Windows and iOS. ![]()
