Yep, daily, and then we recite the same thing at our daily morning standup. Don't think I'll share a real one, they're probably proprietary and no upside for me in that. But I can give you a fake one. Below is the top of my file. The last entry, the dated one, gets pushed down every day under a fresh one, and I update it as I go during the day. The markup syntax is vimwiki http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2226 http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2226, but it could be any markup. Years ago I used to use markup something like this without transforming it, before there was anything like markdown or reST. At the end of the day I run Vimwiki2HTML from within vim, and my daily status html page is updated; it's just a local page, I don't serve it. I copy today's entry from that and email my boss. Ten years ago I would have just copied the plain text from the vim file. Every once in awhile I email the ever growing file to myself at home. Scripts that generate the daily template after the example. =Status= ==Long term ToDo== * Some long term thing that currently doesn't have any tasks: * Some slightly more interesting long term thing: * practice elocution * study needed inventions * study electricity ==Immediate ToDo== * Follow up on that thing by end of the week. * See if that other thing is ready. ==2013.03.22 Friday== ===Today=== * Wrote test ABC. * Reviewed test BCD. * Passed test CDE. * Failed test DEF. * Wrote bug ticket 234 describing test DEF failure. * Cleared ticket 345. ===Tomorrow=== * Write test XYZ * Run tests MNO, PQR. ===Roadblocks=== * My cube mate keeps looking at me. This generates a date: $ cat bin/adate #! /usr/bin/env bash dt="$1" || "today" date --date="$dt" +"%Y.%m.%d %A" $ adate 2013.03.22 Friday $ adate Monday 2013.03.25 Monday $ adate "last Monday" 2013.03.18 Monday $ adate "next Friday" 2013.03.29 Friday And this generates a daily entry skeleton: $ cat bin/edate #! /usr/bin/env bash dt="$1" || "today" echo "==$(adate $dt)==" echo "" echo "===Today===" echo "*" echo "" echo "===Tomorrow===" echo "*" echo "" echo "===Roadblocks===" echo "*" echo "" echo "" $ edate ==2013.03.22 Friday== ===Today=== * ===Tomorrow=== * ===Roadblocks=== * Then in vim, put your cursor above the previous day's entry, and: :r!edate which creates a new blank entry with one empty bullet per section.
