Sync worklogs between multiple time trackers, invoicing, and bookkeeping software.
Can synchronize for example timewarrior, toggl and clockify which seems pretty nice! Not used it myself since I completely moved to timewarrior.
A pretty flexible and interesting approach to organizing data science projects. Combined with: https://www.earthdatascience.org/courses/intro-to-earth-data-science/open-reproducible-science/get-started-open-reproducible-science/best-practices-for-organizing-open-reproducible-science/ for more academic-oriented ideas,
should give a rough guide to finding good organizational structures.
"Text-based contact management software."
Plaintext addressbook - akin to khard or abook. Gives you a TUI which is nice, and can be integrated well with mutt. Uses vCard (3.0) so it can be made to work with the wonderful vdirsyncer as well.
Modern TUI calendar and task manager with minimal and customizable UI. - GitHub - anufrievroman/calcure: Modern TUI calendar and task manager with minimal and customizable UI.
improved calcurse?
Make lists of what's in your fridge, when it expires, what you want to cook for the week, what's missing for that and put it on your shopping list of you need it.
A Timewarrior report script for calculating billable hours. - GitHub - trev-dev/timew-billable: A Timewarrior report script for calculating billable hours.
Some utility functions for timewarrior.
Honestly, I would rather like to see them in timewarrior itself than a standalone script, but they are very useful, providing some command aliases, adding a simple duration syntax, and most importantly allowing to 'restart' a task (you pressed start but did not really yet, just restart at the time you actually start working), or 'restore' (you pressed stop but then continued working on a task, restore is 'continue' which fills the gap in between).
GitHub - tom-doerr/timew_distribution: This plugin plots the time you spent on a tag as a histogram.
Allows you to add a timewarrior subcommand which displays a nice histogram of past days and a the amount of time you have been working (in general or on something if you filter it).
Works like a normal timewarrior command. Needs some extra dependencies unfortunately.
A very simple full-text search tool for plaintext files.
Can support multiple indexes, uses established search db library, is set up with a single config file.
An interesting approach using sql database to store tasks and retrieve them with all kinds of tools
Assist in organizing your piles of documents, resulting from scanners, e-mails and other sources with miminal effort. - eikek/docspell
Mirrors paperless, but comes with more features regarding ocr (NLP, a learning engine, auto-tagging etc), saves the originals and the pdf versions, can send e-mail, has a much more advanced web interface -- but also consumes more resources.
'Simple' kanboard software - just boards and cards, with a few nice workflow features like highlighting a column that fills up too much.
Can I just say as a neuroscientist this is not your fault. Basically we think we have control over what we do but this is an illusion. For example you want to work on your project but you never do. So then you feel shame/guilt etc which only makes you more unproductive.
The solution to this is that the mind behaves more like a computer than we think. If you know how to properly interact with it you can make it do whatever you want. Now there is a long list of behavioural psychology focused on productivity but I will start you of with one thing.
Right now create a list it can be on your computer a website like trello.com or on paper it doesn't matter. On it write 6 Things that you can accomplish very quickly in relation to your project.
for example the list could be this.
make a project directory for my project.
download the dataset needed
install required tools for project
write first variable
write first function
Make the first graph
Set the commitment to do just one of these things per day, you don't have to do anymore.
Try adding new goals to your list as you complete old ones.
the goals should be easy to achieve 1 minute - 30 minutes for each.
Pretty soon you will be doing more than just one task.
This method efficiently uses your brains reward system. Doing small clearly defined tasks with low commitment is easy and generally fun to do.
Doing a large complicated project with no clear approach is not fun to do.
There are tonnes of efficiency hacks and every person is different. Good luck.
Tag your time, get the insight. traggo alternative, pretty similar but not based on key:value pairs #tags instead.
More mature interface and reporting functionality, less extensive dashboarding possibilities.
Funny little website which, while taking itself not too seriously, contains some good advice.
7 principles of getting stuff done - following something similar to the pareto principle, deep-work ideas, and so on.
Using pipe2 functionality, could presumably be adapted for newsboat, aerc, etc.
Simple sci-hub batch downloader, written in bash. Has to be adapted to use-cases a little (since hard-coded variables for page url and doi input file)
Other scihub downloaders:
Adding relative recurring tasks to taskwarrior: they can wait until some time after they have last been completed and they can be due some time after they have last been completed.
Example here:
# You shouldn't mow your lawn more than once a week, but want to keep it short, so shouldn't wait for more than two weeks:
task add 'Mow the Lawn' relativeRecurWait:1weeks relativeRecurDue:2weeks
An open source project management tool with Kanban boards.
Replaces Trello (or Nextcloud deck) out of the box, wants to do much more in the future. Perhaps not necessary right now, but might be a good candidate for web integration of e.g. taskwarrior projects in the future.
