Starting from Pagico v4.2, the Today view is the most important feature for daily task planning. It not only allows you to re-order tasks freely, but also allows you to re-schedule and prioritize things with just drag and drop. So, start your day with this feature will greatly increase your productivity.
The Today view can be located in the Dashboard section, which is also the first screen you see once you’re into the database. It provides you two lists: Must Do and Might Do.
Re-Ordering Tasks
Nobody wants to complete tasks by alphabetic orders, so we make changing the order of tasks very easy. Simply hover your mouse onto a task item, and you’ll see the move handle icon. Simply drag and drop the handle to wherever you want to. It’s that simple.
Note: Re-Ordering tasks in the Today view does not affect the order of tasks in their actual lists.
Must Do vs Might Do
Tasks that are scheduled are automatically shown in the Must Do list. Tasks that are due very soon (tomorrow, or the day after) are listed in the Might Do list. If there’s not enough Might Do tasks, Pagico will get some of the Someday tasks (if any) in the Might Do list as a reminder.
Re-Scheduling Tasks
For those tasks that could wait, simply drag them over to the Might Do list. Once dragged into there, those tasks will be automatically postponed by one day (i.e. tomorrow), and they will become Must Do’s the next day. If there are tasks that are very important and you want to get them done today, just drag them over into the Must Do list. By doing so, those tasks will be scheduled for today automatically.
Add new tasks easily
If you need to create new tasks, you can do so quickly by using the plus (“+”) buttons under each list.
Step 4: Load the configuration file in Serious Samurize
Step 3: Add a new “Shell” Geeklet (a panel that displays information on your desktop)
Also, you’ll be able to browse all your someday tasks in the Dashboard -> All tasks view.
In order to do so, simply use the Finder to locate the database, *single* click on it to select the database file, then hit “space bar” on your keyboard. A QuickLook panel will pop up, displaying the schedule flowchart of that database.
Modifying tasks in the flowchart
Because you can have multiple lists in a topic, adding tasks from the flowchart can be very tricky: the program needs to know which list you’re adding the task to. Therefore, an “append” feature is added to the flowchart, so you can append a task after an existing task. The new task will be appended to the same list.
Reschedule your tasks easily
If you selected a color for the list item, the selected color will be reflected in the checkbox, not the task bars themselves.
To see the full list of tasks in your current database, please expand the “Dashboard” group, then select the “All tasks” item in the group.
To do so, simply navigate to “Preferences” by clicking the button in the toolbar.
In the calendar application (in this example, iCal), you’ll be asked whether or not to subscribe to the calendar, and whether or not “remove any ToDo information from the calendar”. Choose to keep all the todo information, and set up an automatic update of every 15 minutes (or whatever you like).
Woohoo! Now you can see your schedule stored in Pagico in your favorite calendar application! Don’t forget you can also sync your calendar with your iPhone (or iPad) via iTunes, too!
No matter where you are in Pagico, you’ll always be able to the upcoming tasks in the sidebar.
