<h2 id="what-and-why">What and why</h2>
<p><code>doing</code> is a basic CLI for adding and listing "what was I doing" reminders in a
<a href="https://www.taskpaper.com">TaskPaper-formatted</a> text file. It allows for
multiple sections/categories and flexible output formatting.</p>
<p>While I'm working, I have hourly reminders to record what I'm working on, and I
try to remember to punch in quick notes if I'm unexpectedly called away from a
project. I can do this just by typing <code>doing now tracking down the CG bug</code>.</p>
<p>If there's something I want to look at later but doesn't need to be added to a
task list or tracker, I can type <code>doing later check out the pinboard bookmarks
from macdrifter</code>. When I get back to my computer --- or just need a refresher
after a distraction --- I can type <code>doing last</code> to see what the last thing on
my plate was. I can also type <code>doing recent</code> (or just <code>doing</code>) to get a list of
the last few entries. <code>doing today</code> gives me everything since midnight for the
current day, making it easy to see what I've accomplished over a sleepless
night.</p>
<p>Doing has over 30 commands for tracking your status, recording your time, and
analyzing the results.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://github.com/ttscoff/doing/wiki">the wiki</a> for installation and usage instructions.</p>
<h2 id="launchbar-alfred">Launchbar/Alfred</h2>
<p>The LaunchBar action requires that <code>doing</code> be available in
<code>/usr/local/bin/doing</code>. If it's not (because you're using RVM or similar),
you'll need to symlink it there. Running the action with Return will show the
latest 9 items from Currently, along with any time intervals recorded, and
includes a submenu of Timers for each tag.</p>
<p>Pressing Spacebar and typing allows you to add a new entry to currently. You an
also trigger a custom show command by typing "show [section/tag]" and hitting
return. Include any command line flags at the end of the string, and if you add
text in parenthesis, it will be processed as a note on the entry.</p>
<p>Point of interest, the LaunchBar Action makes use of the <code>-o json</code> flag for
outputting JSON to the action's script for parsing.</p>
