Hi all, I'm working on setting my terminal to display different tasks and information when I login. I have problems with attention and I frequently forget to do important things, so I really need to do this to help myself. I'm aware some of this will cause my terminal to be more slow when I first login. That's fine even if it takes an additional second to login. I have a rough mockup attached in the picture. The mockup uses the pr -Tm command to display my calendar side-by-side with my schedule and todo list, but here's where I'm at:
- Calendar is automated by
ncal -C - Weather is automated using
curl wttr.in/New%20York?0 - Schedule is just a text file at the moment
- Todo is just a text file at the moment
I'm looking to also automate my schedule and todo from the command line, but I don't want to use Google-based tools or tools that connect to an external server in general. I'm looking for terminal-based tools where I can add events to my schedule with descriptions, times, and dates (support for recurring events is a bonus, but maybe not required), and then fetch my daily schedule and print it. Does anybody know a good way to handle this part? I could setup a simple database to store and interact with my schedule, but I feel like there has to already be a good tool like that available. However, my searches keeps pulling up things that aren't quite what I want...
Thanks for reading this! I appreciate any advice you have for the Linux side of things.
Okay sweet thanks for also suggesting taskwarrior. It seems easy enough to navigate. I'm also going through the man for remind now to see what format it's expecting for the
.remindfile. I appreciate it!Dude, can't help you with your question, but you need to know that your gratitude in your replies to everyone made my day. Thank you.
You're welcome homie ❤️ I just want to make sure I let everybody know how much I appreciate the awesome community
