The idea behind todo.txt is pretty neat, but in its basic form it's missing a few features. Luckily it's easily extendable.
I hacked up (and I do mean hacked up) two python scripts that add two bits of functionality that are essential for me:
- Timed tasks: add a date to a task and when that date rolls around, the task gets assigned top priority.
- Repeating tasks: add a human readable marker to a task that indicates it needs to be repeated every X days and every X days a copy of that task is assigned top priority. Another copy of the task is set to pop up in the set X number of days.
For me, these make the rather simple todo.txt the perfect todo list / note keeping setup. Unfortunately the todo.txt Android app doesn't work with my extensions so I have no use for it (I just look through the txt file in the Dropbox app if I need to see it on the go).
