Description

A hierarchical task management tool that also attempts to optimally schedule task nodes to configured blocks of time throughout the week. See the examples directory for an explanation of how to structure your tasks.yml and schedule.yml.

Installation

pip install flextime

Note: this package requires Python 3.

This will install the package and provide the executable ft (if you've properly configured your Python environment).

Usage

The purpose of each CLI command, as well as its arguments and options, is briefly explained via the --help flag, or by running ft without any arguments, but I will also give a synopsis here. Commands run without file arguments assume files exist in the current directory; reference the help for how to pass custom file paths.

All of the following commands present the user with an interactive menu. show and list accept digits as indexes (within the current page) of tasks to complete (remove) and add facilitates traversal through the task tree.

ft show

Attempt to optimally schedule tasks.yml task nodes to time blocks configured in schedule.yml.

ft list

Present task nodes in a list, optionally sorting by the provided attribute short names. For example, ft list d t would sort first by date and then by time estimate.

ft add

Display the top level of each subtree, allowing the user to traverse the tree and add nodes or additional subtrees.
