Today, I’d like to talk about a package which I reckon will help a lot of folks keen to keep a hand on their project task management, without having to deal with getting-things-done apps way too complex for their own good.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of Wunderkit, Producteev, et al, but most times, a list of tasks and checkboxes are way better than the whole nine yeards app that lists your tasks, interacts with twitter, and makes coffee.
Let’s talk plain tasks then, and as a matter of facts lets talk PlainTasks, as the package I wanna introduce is named like so.
PlainTasks is a Sublime Text 2 plugin allowing you to create simple yet powerful todo lists in a few clicks and/or shorthands. I personally recommend to use Plaintasks at project level and create a single todo list at the root of each of your project’s directory structures.
I absolutely love it. It’s simple to install (look it up in your Package Control), and mega simple to use. No need for fancy stuff, all you need to do is create section, tasks, archive, and keep track (once again) at project level of all the nitty gritty things you (and your team) need to do.
If you put your project files in a shared dropbox folder like most folks do, then, do not change anything and make sure your .todo file is there at the root, and up to date for your team.
