Kept very simple as a todo list application. Can sync with CalDAV/Nextcloud, or manually import lists. Can display today's tasks, multiple lists and has a trashcan functionality but not much more.

Supports displaying tags, but have not even been able to find a way to filter by tag.

Habit tracking in the command line. Can be scripted very easily (their example being automatic habit tracking when you create git commits in some repository with git commit hooks).

Wraps vdirsyncer to 'daemonise' it - i.e. running it every 15 minutes automatically, or 2 seconds after it detects any change to any vdirsyncer storage.

Very nice little learning example of a golang cli app.

A really nice todo list software for Linux, which can sync with either todoist or Nextcloud (so - I would think with any caldav software?).

Super nice design, supports Todo-list layout, Kanban board layout, projects, tags, due dates, notes, priorities, sub-tasks, reminders, basically most things most people need out of a task management software.

Unfortunately written primarily for Gnome environments so comes with some dependency baggage but in my mind very worth it.

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).

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.
