Daily task overview

(closed account) says:
Hi folks,

just wanted to share real quick my setup.

Idea: have quick overview of my tasks I ...
- am working on right now
- finished today
- finished yesterday
- finished last week

I have a list for work related tasks. So I created three new smart lists saying: show tasks from work list AND show tasks which are completed AND show tasks which have been completed today/yesterday/one week before today. Further I created a tag named 'doing'. The fourth smartlist will only show tasks which have the tag 'doing'.

See here for an impression: http://i.imgur.com/Q4hEZMr.jpg

Now I activated the 'private feed' option in RTM which assigns a XML feed to any smart list. I created a small PHP script to put on my server which parses the XML feed and displays it in a reasonable way. As a bonus the last note on every task (finished today) gets also displayed because that's where I save the time I've spent on this task. Every day at 23:59 a cronjob on my server runs to backup the HTML file created by the PHP script.

If you'd like to have the script: https://gist.github.com/tkan/ca8a28586045638888cc5e781a2e1a04

Pretty neat what one can do with RTM. :)
