_This document is WIP._
## The workflow
_If you don't understand any term, read [terms](https://github.com/botanicus/now-task-manager/blob/master/doc/terms.md)_
### Planning
In the evening you'll do `pomodoro edit tomorrow`. This will check your schedules and picks one to use. Schedule is a list of time frames, for instance for a work day we could have something like this:
```
Morning routine (from 7:50)
Work for client 1 (9:20 – 12:00)
Lunch break (12:00 – 13)
Work for client 2 (13 – 18)
```
Then it will try to prepopulate the schedule with tasks. There will be various sources:
- The scheduled lists.
- Automatically scheduled tasks.
- Unfinished tasks from today and postponed tasks.
## Doing
3. Next day you simply start getting through your list using `pomodoro next` and `pomodoro complete` (as well as `pomodoro postpone` and `pomodoro move_on`).
The tasks will be looked for in the current time frame. That is even if you have unfinished tasks, if a new time frame started, the tool will pick a task from the newly started one.
### Today tasks
- Tasks are stored in readable plain text format.
- Command-line interface.
- [Vim plugin](https://github.com/botanicus/now-task-manager/tree/master/support/vim).
- BitBar plugin.
### Scheduled tasks
Scheduled tasks are either scheduled for a certain **date** (tomorrow, next Friday etc), for a ceratin **context** (next time I'm in Prague etc) or just generally for **later**.
```
Tomorrow
- Buy milk.
Prague
- Pick up my shoes.
Later
- Fix the expense gem.
```
That's all there is to it. It's a simple text file and you can edit it to your liking.
The only shortcut you get is `pomodoro + Another task.` which will add a task to the list for later.
