It's the default application that the command doing open will open your WWID file in.
#TASKPAPER INSERT SEPARATOR MAC OS X#
The setting editor_app only applies to Mac OS X users. By default, this is "Currently," but if you have some other bright idea, feel free: current_section: Currently You can rename the section that holds your current tasks. (If you do that in nvALT, make sure to add taskpaper as a recognized extension in preferences). taskpaper extension to make it more recognizable to other applications. I keep mine in my nvALT folder for quick access and syncing between machines. That's the doing_file key: doing_file: /Users/username/Dropbox/nvALT2.2/? What was I doing.md The one thing you'll probably want to adjust is the file that the notes are stored in. The config file is stored in "~/.doingrc", and is created on the first run. ConfigurationĪ basic configuration looks like this: -ĭoing_file: /Users/username/Dropbox/nvALT2.2/? What was I doing.md The now and later commands don't currently make it possible to add notes at the time of entry creation, but I have scripts that do it and will incorporate them soon. They belong to the entry directly before them, and they should be indented one level beyond the parent item. Notes are anything in the list without a leading hyphen and date. You can edit it by hand at any time (in TaskPaper or any text editor), but it uses a specific format for parsing, so be sure to maintain the dates and pipe characters. The format of the "doing" file is TaskPaper-compatible. By default the file is created in "~/what_was_i_doing.md", but this can be modified in the config file. The file that stores all of your entries is generated the first time you add an entry with doing now (or doing later). See the support section below for troubleshooting details.

If gem install doing fails, then run sudo gem install doing and provide your administrator password. If you're using the system Ruby on a Mac, for example, it will likely be necessary.


Only use sudo if your environment requires it. Someday I'll get around to cleaning that up and putting it out there. Side note: I actually use the library behind this utility as part of another script that mirrors entries in Day One that have the tag "wwid." I can use the hourly writing reminders and enter my stuff in the quick entry popup. doing today gives me everything since midnight for the current day, making it easy to see what I've accomplished over a sleepless night. I can also type doing recent (or just doing) to get a list of the last few entries. When I get back to my computer - or just need a refresher after a distraction - I can type doing last to see what the last thing on my plate was. If there's something I want to look at later but doesn't need to be added to a task list or tracker, I can type doing later check out the pinboard bookmarks from macdrifter. I can do this just by typing doing now tracking down the CG bug. While I'm working, I have hourly reminders to record what I'm working on, and I try to remember to punch in quick notes if I'm unexpectedly called away from a project. It allows for multiple sections/categories and flexible output formatting. What and whyĭoing is a basic CLI for adding and listing "what was I doing" reminders in a TaskPaper-formatted text file.
