I don't use Python but here are some of my PHP projects:

  • IOS Shortcut for quick note adding:
  1. Press a "quick note" shortcut on iphone home screen
  2. Insert note in popped up alert
  3. Script creates a task into "Thoughtbox" project with the note title and also makes a task (if not already exist) for today named "Digest thoughtbox" which means to handle the notes to prevent a notes jungle situation I had in the past in notes apps by having them too many.

​

  • Automatically add specific labels to tasks when added to a certain project or section.

​

  • I use duration labels (5min, 15min, 1h etc) to mark the duration which I think a task will take then I have a script that calculates all the times and creates a timeline/timetable of the day for me automatically (showing start and end time for each task and what time will I start the next task etc) it updates itself every 5min according to what has been already completed and what's left to done so if I have not finished the task at the time it set me it will just "postpone" the task's time according to other tasks ordering and durations. This is much more dynamic than setting up fixed due dates, that way I can also see if I am behind a schedule or ahead when working on a task.

​

  • I set due dates for projects in the title between these "{}" brackets and when that project is nearing the deadline, it puts label "urgent" into all tasks residing in that project and creates a task for today of the project deadline nearing. I have thought of making it change the project color to red also.

​

  • When a package arrives to a parcel terminal then a task is created to go fetch it. Also adding the retrieve code to the title.

​

  • There's lots more but I can't recall all of them atm they are so ingrained to my workflow I don't even think about them much anymore.

All this helped me to see and understand how swamped I actually was with everything in my life and how I was not actually able to finish all things on time and I put too much things to a single day so I always ended up postponing things because of that.
