GTD/BASB Templates for Emacs and Org-Mode
- Daily Review Template
- Weekly Review Template
- Monthly Review Template
- Annual Review Template (I don’t usually do these in Emacs, but I’ve included them for the sake of completeness)
As I’ve said on Twitter, I don’t actually necessarily perform these on a chronological basis.
Do you do GTD-style reviews?
The reviews have chronological names but don’t need to be performed on those schedules. Do them when you need reorientation at different levels:
- daily: tasks
- weekly: projects
- monthly: goals
- annual: vision
These are configured as capture templates, but I wrap them with Emacs Lisp functions so that they do things like fetching my most recent calendar data. I then call those functions with a hydra for easy and mnemonic binding. See the sections in my Emacs config on Capture Templates and Reviews for the full context on how I use these.
- New Project Template (see The Org Manual: Template expansion for understanding the elements in this capture template)
- Project Completion Template (I use Yankpad for this so as to be able to insert it at point within a specific project)
Hello, I was watching your 11/14/2018 BASB video and noticed your templates are more up to date there. Is it possible you can refresh these GitHub ones with the latest ones you are using (or what is in the video)? Excellent videos and write-ups! Thank you!!
