I used birdseye.py and modified the scripts(along with your todo.sh) so that they would display in the ways I wanted. This also produced a very trimmed-down list which didn’t clutter up my desktop with a ton of text. This makes the whole process of actually doing to-do’s easier instead of just creating them and hiding from them/being overwhelmed. I still have my major todo.txt and then another file which I set up each night or morning and fill it with stuff that I must get done the next/that day. I also wanted to display other info like weather, system info and iTunes info, and the to-do list was taking up too much room and was hard to make “look good.” My solution is pretty simple. I found that outputting the whole todo.txt to the desktop became a bit messy. I got inspired by Lifehacker posts about both GeekTool and todo.txt and decided to start using it myself. Lucas explains how he wound up with this good-looking display: Just so happens this setup is very similar to my own. Starting at the top left corner and going clockwise, you can see he’s got the weather, his project status overview, today’s tasks, a calendar, iTunes, and system information up, which automatically updates in the background. (Click to enlarge, or check out the annotated Flickr page.) GeekTool affixes the output from command line scripts (and more) to your Mac desktop, so when everything is minimized, it’s still visible. Mac user Grant Lucas is putting the Todo.txt CLI and GeekTool to great use on his Mac, pictured above.
