NextAction
==========
A more GTD-like workflow for Todoist. Uses the REST API to add and remove a `@next_action` label from tasks.
This program looks at every list in your Todoist account.
2015-12-12 09:20:48 -05:00
Any list that ends with `_` or `.` is treated specially, and processed by NextAction.
Note that NextAction requires Todoist Premium to function properly, as labels are a premium feature.

Requirements
============
* Python 2.7, Python 3.0+ is unsupported at the moment
* ```todoist-python``` package.

Activating NextAction

=====================
Sequential list processing
2014-11-15 14:58:01 -05:00
--------------------------
2015-12-12 09:20:48 -05:00
If a list ends with `_`, the top level of tasks will be treated as a priority queue and the most important will be labeled `@next_action`.
Importance is determined by order in the list
Parallel list processing
2014-11-15 14:58:01 -05:00
------------------------
2015-12-12 09:20:48 -05:00
If a list name ends with `.`, the top level of tasks will be treated as parallel `@next_action`s.
The waterfall processing will be applied the same way as sequential lists - every parent task will be treated as sequential. This can be overridden by appending `_` to the name of the parent task.

Executing NextAction
====================
2015-12-12 09:20:48 -05:00
You can run NexAction from any system that supports Python.

Running NextAction
------------------
NextAction will read your environment to retrieve your Todoist API key, so to run on a Linux/Mac OSX you can use the following commandline
2015-09-05 10:56:30 -04:00
python nextaction.py -a <API Key>
