NextAction NextAction
========== ==========
A more GTD-like workflow for Todoist. Uses the REST API to add and remove a `@next_action` label from tasks. A more GTD-like workflow for Todoist.
This program looks at every list in your Todoist account. This program looks for pre-defined tags in every list and parentless task in your Todoist account to automatically add and remove `@next_action` labels.
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. The result will be a clear, current and comprehensive list of next actions without the need for further thought.
Uses the Todoist Sync API; note that Todoist Premium is required to function properly, since labels are used.
Requirements Requirements
============ ============
* Python 2.7, Python 3.0+ is unsupported at the moment * Python 3.8
* ```todoist-python``` package. * ```todoist-python``` package.

===================== =====================
Projects and parentless tasks can be tagged independently from each other to create the required functionality.
Sequential list processing Sequential list processing
-------------------------- --------------------------
If a project or task ends with `_`, the child tasks will be treated as a priority queue and the most important will be labeled `@next_action`. If a project or task ends with `--`, the child 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.
Importance is determined by order in the list
Parallel list processing Parallel list processing
------------------------ ------------------------
If a project or task name ends with `.`, the child tasks will be treated as parallel `@next_action`s. If a project or task name ends with `//`, the child 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. A waterfall processing is applied, where the lowest possible children tasks are labelled.
Parentless tasks
------------------------
Any parentless task can be be given a type by appending '//' or `--` to the name of the task. This works if there is no list type, and will override a previously defined list type.
