“Getting things done with Linux to-do list programsI’ve found
that maintaining a proper to-do list consistently boosts my
productivity. The challenge, however, is finding task management
software that fits with my workflow. I’ve tried several web
solutions—including Remember the Milk (RTM) and a self-hosted
Tracks setup—but the problem with browser-based to-do lists
is that I tend to ignore what’s not immediately visible on my
desktop. Fortunately, there are several reasonably good open source
to-do list tools for Linux.“I recently started using Getting Things GNOME (GTG), an
organizer for the GNOME desktop environment that provides a robust
feature set and a relatively high level of usability. Although it’s
still at an early stage of development and has some rough edges, it
meets my needs better than any of the other to-do list programs
that I’ve tested. It has supported for nested substasks, tagging,
and task notes.”
