A productive mind is an empty stack

The philosophy

mind follows the following philosophy

A productive mind is an empty stack.

Sometimes we have too much on our mind but neither the traditional check-boxes, nor the kanban board works for us. This is because our mind works like a stack. A stack of tasks waiting to be executed. This is why our productivity drops when we try to achieve multi tasking using this stack optimized for single thread access.

mind uses this simple formula to measure the productivity level of you mind

p = O - b

p is Productivity O in Optimal productivity b is backlog

In other words, the more tasks you keep on your mind and the longer you keep them there, the less productive you will become.

Install

You need cargo to install mind.

bash cargo install mind

A productive mind can push and pop tasks into it's stack efficiently

Push tasks into the mind stack (or continue with an existing task)

```bash mind

Enter the names for the tasks to push.

Press [ENTER] again to save the added tasks.

```

Pop the current task from the mind stack

```bash mind pop

Alias

mind p ```

Or while in interactive mode

```bash /pop

Alias

/p ```

Supported commands in both CLI and interactive mode

| Command | Aliases | Action |-----------------|-------------|------------------------------------------ | {num} | | Continue with the task at the given position | pop | p | Pop out the current task | pop {num} | p {num} | Pop out the task at the given position | edit | e | Edit the current task | edit {num} | e {num} | Edit the task at the given position | get | g | Get details of the current task | get {num} | g {num} | Get details of the task at the given position

Examples

Example 1: Add all the TODO and FIXME items from the codebase.

bash grep -nR TODO . | mind grep -nR FIXME . | mind

Example 2: Continue with the task positioned at [3]

CLI mode

bash mind 3

Interactive mode

bash /3

Example 3: Pop the task positioned at [3]

CLI mode

bash mind p 3

Interactive mode

bash /p 3

Example 4: Edit the task positioned at [3]

CLI mode

bash mind e 3

Interactive mode

bash /e 3

Example 5: Get details of the task positioned at [3]

CLI mode

bash mind g 3

Interactive mode

bash /g 3

A productive mind can remind itself of the pending and repeating tasks

Open ~/.mind/reminders.yml and add the reminders in the given format (see ~/.mind/reminder_examples.yml)

```yaml

This reminder will disappear once executed.

name: Test reminder once on 10 July 2020, at 8 am IST when: "2020-07-10T08:00:00+05:30" repeat: Never

The following reminders will reschedule themselves.

name: "Test reminder everyday at 10:30 pm IST" when: "2020-07-10T22:30:00+05:30" repeat: EveryDay
name: "Test reminder every other day at 10:30 pm IST" when: "2020-07-10T22:30:00+05:30" repeat: EveryNthDay: 2
name: Test reminder every week at 11 am IST when: "2020-07-10T11:00:00+05:30" repeat: EveryWeek
name: Test reminder every 3rd week at 11 am IST when: "2020-07-10T11:00:00+05:30" repeat: EveryNthWeek: 3
name: "Test reminder every saturday and sunday at 9:15 am IST" when: "2020-07-10T09:15:00+05:30" repeat: Weekdays:
- Sat
- Sun
name: "Test reminder every 2nd saturday at 9:15 am IST" when: "2020-07-10T09:15:00+05:30" repeat: EveryNthWeekday: n: 2 weekday: Sat ```

I'll keep adding features (small or big) and keep improving the code quality while I learn more cool ways to be productive and become a better developer.
