todo.txt is a simple and popular method to manage your todo list. I like this method because it uses a simple text file and so simple scripts or programs can be used as TODO list managers. This method was popularized by Gina Trapani, who also created a todo.sh
shell script to manage the todo list. I found the shell script a bit wanting in features, so I use ya-todo-py instead.
ya-todo-py is a todo.txt manager written in Python. You can get it from its Github repository here. You can either run its setup.py script to install it or just stash it somewhere.
todo.py
script, provide the location of a directory where it can store its todo.txt
files:$ todo.py --todo-dir /path/to/todotxt/dir
By default, this will list the items in your todo list sorted alphabetically.
$ todo.py --todo-dir /path/to/todotxt/dir -n
function todo
todo.py --todo-dir /path/to/todotxt/dir -n $argv
end
