Todo.txt is a simple task management system created by some Italian female programmer. Her name is not nearly as important as her genius at developing a rather simple system to use an ordinary txt file to manage tasks. Below is an example.
[ ] (A) 2024-10-19 extremely high priority task +example @wiki due:2024-10-19
[ ] (B) 2024-10-20 high priority task +example +another @terminal
[ ] (C) 2024-10-23 moderate priority task +moderate @office
[ ] (D) 2024-10-31 low priority task +low @home
(In a drab and monotone voice) And now it is once again time for one of our syntax tables… (unenthusiastic) Hooray…
