Hi Don,

I don't know if it helps any, but I was using Leo in a GTD-style way for a while. I used a suite of scripts, along with a few plugins I wrote, to automate most tasks.

It worked for me for over a year, and I might just have to get back into it soon. I lapsed because, ironically, too many large projects happened at once, and I didn't really have the time to track them all! And then, you know, bad habits form quickly...

Here's a blog post on how I made it work for me: http://blog.suspended-chord.info/2013/11/18/leo-things-done-revised/

Might not help you at all, but I thought I'd share.

Ed,

Thanks for the pointers and the Aha!

Here's another problem, although it may not be juicy enough for you (or just outside your realm of interest):

As I've mentioned, I've been using Ecco as a PIM for many years, with generally good results. Now, however, I'm involved in several new projects in my personal iife, and finding myself getting swamped trying to manage my time. This has led me to pick up David Allen's "Getting Things Done".

I'm working though ways to use Ecco in service of GTD, Dwig-style, but it's different enough from what I've been doing that it occurred to me that I might just as well use Leo for the purpose. SO, looking at Leo from the PIM perspective, what might be the challenges in making it "sing" with GTD or some variation thereof?

Any related thoughts welcome ...


Don

​Leo already supports TDD in several ways. There is @test, of course. Command history (Alt-UpArrow & Alt-DownArrow) is surprisingly useful because it can be used to re-execute @test nodes (or @button nodes) easily.

Furthermore, the cheekily-named "Stupendous Aha"
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/leo-editor/R9-y4XZ9LNo/uWj6TjoQg2gJ
and
http://edreamleo.blogspot.com/2010/02/stupendous-aha-haiku-version.html
should allow /any/ form of TDD to be supported in Leo comfortable.

I've just made a note to myself to document his Aha/work-flow.

Edward
