Projects

number of tasks. Example of project : Bob's website
| What? | How? |
| Create | create project your project name |
| Set a project by its name | set project your project name |
| Set a project |
Note : you can write set project tim and it will show you

all the projects containing the term tim
|
| Remove | remove project your project name |
| Restore | restore project your project name |
Tasks
a task is something that must be achieved in the parent project. A common mistake is to create too many tasks. Sometimes, instead of creating a
task for every single thing you do, it's better to create a more generic task name and use it for many purposes. Then, if you want to be able to tell exactly what you are doing, use comments (see below). Example of task : Drawing mockups
| What? | How? | You can also write... |
| Create and start a new task | create task your task name | |
| Start a task by its name | set task your task name | start, begin |
| Start a task |
Note : you can write set task des and it will show you
all the projects containing the term des
|
start, begin |
| Stop the current task | stop | end, pause |
| Restart the last task you were on | restart | resume, continue |
| List your tasks |

| Remove a task | remove task your task name | |
| Restore a task | restore task your task name |
Comments
Comments should be used for the most precise things you do. Say for example you are working in the "Drawing mockups" task inside the "Bob's website" project and
that you are currently trying to find a good color scheme, it might be a good idea to write a comment for this instead of creating a new task. Example of comment : Trying to find a good color scheme.
| What? | How? |
| Create a comment | Make sure you are currently working in a task, then just type your comment. It is that simple! |
Reminders
Reminders will pop a message in your instant-messaging application when you want it to.
| What? | How? |
| List your upcoming reminders | list reminders |
| Create a reminder | create reminder |
| Remove a reminder | remove reminder |
Nudge
Nudge will pop a message in your instant-messaging application when you are not working and you are supposed to.
| What? | How? |
| Set the time when Timmy should nudge you if you are not working | set nudge |
| Stop Timmy from nudging you | remove nudge |
| Stop Timmy from nudging you for the rest of the day | snooze |
| Show the nudge you set | show nudge |
Tags
Tags let you freely classify your projects and tasks. Example, you have two tasks from different projects that are about "Design", tag them and you will be able to log on
the web and list those 2 tasks by clicking on the desired tag. Example of tag : Design
| What? | How? |
| Add tag(s) to the current project | tag project <tags separated by commas> |
| Remove tag(s) from the current project | untag project <tags separated by commas> |
| Add tag(s) to the current task | tag task <tags separated by commas> |
| Remove tag(s) from the current task | untag task <tags separated by commas> |
