'ToDo-able' events
Dan Forster | Nov 18 2007
GTD contexts are great to get a todo list actioned, but there's a real problem for me when time is important.
I want a calendar just like that: One that I can throw a task at a certain day and time, and tick it off (when the time comes) to fade into completed-ness. To me, this would be ridiculously useful for planning and rescheduling tasks. A real trusted, flexible system for tasks for which time matters. For me it would be great if only for the moments when I need to get a task out of my head until later. Okay, you can set an event in iCal... But then to know that it or any other task has been done is important; that nothing has been left behind.
There, a possible manual iCal solution: but managing that and the clean-up of old events kills its usefulness.. surely someone out there has done this before? Ideally Apple would make this just how iCal works: Its flat todo list really has limited usefulness. Anyone have any ideas, comments? Suggestions on how I could make this happen? I'm open to platforms (Mac/Win/Web) just for this simple functionality. In a perfect would, it would be great to sync with OmniFocus (a possibility when thinking of the task's Start and Due dates as the bounds of the doable event)

 Applescript for Cleanup?Submitted by Berko on November 19, 2007 - 6:32pm.
What about a simple Applescript for cleanup? You could have the script look for items in your "to-doable" calendars that are completed. Then, move them to a special "Completed" calendar and put the original calendar in the notes so you have a record of the context. Not sure how you'd go about recording completion dates if you're into that sort of thing. Just a thought. » POSTED IN:
