gtd with vim like in emacs

As far as I know,...

As far as I know, there's nothing quite like emacs org-mode for VI.

But you might want to check out this bunch of scripts for plain text GTD from the command line:

A great outlining tool is here:

http://www.vimoutliner.org/

You could use Vim or Vim Outliner with GTD by adding context and/or project tags to each line/task. For example

walk dog p:dogcare @home

You could also add priority codes if desired.

Then simply grep the file to pull up all the lines associated with a particular project and/or context.

VimOutliner would work well for this because you could do hierarchical, check-box project planning in the outliner and then search (grep) it by context.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
