Salut!

Shunryu Suzuki’s quote has something about the vacuous truth in set theory.

I once had dinner with a bunch of logicians. Someone was inquiring the others about how was food. And he said “Ho! Paul has not been served yet. Anyway. Paul finds the food OK. Everything is true of the elements of the empty set.”

We surely knew how to have fun…

Well, if that’ll be able to store my todos in a webservice or a kolab server, link them with my mail, group my other resources in projects maybe I’ll think of it. The way yokadi is done though I think it’s not going to happen though.

Different user targets I’d say.

You can already have a wonderfull GTD plasmoid using Yokadi the CLI GTD tool and the plasmoid that loop on shell command

See Aurélien post on planet :

The relation of Zanshin with GTD was suggested to me by an aseigo’s tweet on identi.ca:

Maybe we have to wait a future blog post from Kevin to better understand what is it.

I’m looking forward to the first release of Zanshin — task management software is something I’m always on the lookout for, because I’ve never found anything that works quite the way I need it to.

Also, as an aikidoka, I can definitely appreciate the name you’ve given it.

@baxeico: The way I understand it, Zanshin implies ultimate focus and attention to a task before, during, and after the performance of that task. It’s often translated to english as “follow through” or “following through.”

I was thinking that a GTD Plasmoid would be a cool way to start hacking with Plasma for me. I’m glad to see that a real kde developer had the same idea (of course if I understand correctly what Zanshin is).

My first feature request: make it a drag&drop target for everything! It would be cool for instance to drag an email and automatically create a todo with the email attached, or drag a piece of text and create a todo with the text as the description, or drag an URL and create a todo with a link, or drag a file and create a todo with the file attached…

In GTD there should be a very easy way to collect “thoughts”, and I think that drag&drop is a very easy and intuitive way to collect things in a central “storage system”.

Thank you very much for your effort!
