Tip: Creating a "Due Today" Action View 3

Posted by Ryan Mon, 31 Jul 2006 18:57:00 GMT

It is quite useful to have a “Due Today” view of your actions, regardless of context or project. While Tracks does not yet support such a condensed view (the default home page does list your actions sorted by due date – but that leaves a lot of extra noise in actions that are due tomorrow, next year etc…), you can get a nice “Due Today” view by doing the following:

  1. Go the the feeds page of your GTDTracks
  2. Click on the TXT icon next to “Actions due today or earlier”
And voi-la – you have a basic but very functional view of everything due today. I use this almost exclusively to quickly see what needs to be addressed today. 
AT PHONE:
    [Due: Jul-31-06] Phone home (Personal)

AT COMPUTER:
    [Due: Jul-31-06] Merge latest Tracks (GTDTracks)

AT HOME:
    [Due: Jul-31-06] Mow lawn (Lawn & Garden)

...

You can also make your view look one, two, three… days out by adjusting the http://gtdtracks.com/feed/text/...?due=0 parameter to be due=1 for today and tomorrow’s actions, or due=2 for the next 2 days etc…

Keep in mind that everytime you change any of your preferences the URL to your feeds will change.

    Bugs found during my initial experience: 1. tags require a comma AND space, or all the words and commas become one long tag. (Using Safari) Instruction line should make that clear. 2. Selecting a tag in a deferred item does generates a view with other non-deferred items, but doesn’t show the deferred item. I.e., deferred items are hidden from searches. 3. CSV output generates a server error. (XML is OK.)
