i’ve read the book and its nothing to get so excited about,

GTD is actually a very complicated set up not for those who seek a userfriendly system of organizing.

There are far more easier methods then GTD on a scale of 1-10 GTD is about a 2 or 3. the script above is way too complicated and creates way to many freaken folders all you need is a few.

if you have to have so many folders and keep track of week 1 week 2 week 3 then you need therapy all you need to focus on is today right now, map out your week and get started

i hear people keeping 90,000 emails in their mail how pathetic, keep it real people

i love that delete button, messages are for reading then deleting not for storing

Here’s the script I use… I just use mailutil to move messages into my @INBOX.

#!/bin/sh

# NOTE: The mailutil below has had the maildir patch applied.

# Set things to eastern time zone to keep things in sync
export TZ=EST5EDT

# Get the valid strings
DAY=`date +%d`
WEEK=`echo “($DAY - 1)/7 + 1″|bc`

# On the first day of the month, push monthly notes into inbox
if [ "$DAY" == "01" ]; then
THISMONTH=`date +%m-%b`
/home/tedpavlic/bin/mailutil appenddelete “/home/tedpavlic/.imap/.@TICKLER.Month.$THISMONTH/” “/home/tedpavlic/.imap/.@INBOX/”
fi

# On every day, push dailies
/home/tedpavlic/bin/mailutil appenddelete “/home/tedpavlic/.imap/.@TICKLER.Week$WEEK.$DAY/” “/home/tedpavlic/.imap/.@INBOX/”
