Welcome to Getting Things GNOME!, your new task manager! In Getting Things GNOME! (GTG), everything is a task. From building a bridge over the Pacific Ocean to changing a light bulb or organizing a party!

If you are new to GTG, please take the time to read this, as it will provide you useful information about how to use GTG to organize your everyday life.

Creating and editing tasks:

Using GTG is easy: you organize what you have to do by creating new tasks. To do this, simply press the "New Task" button, edit the task by describing it, set some parameters, and that's it! Once a task done, you can close it by pressing the "Mark As Done" button.

In GTG, a task is automatically saved while you are editing it. No need to press any "Save" button! Try it: add some text to this task, close the window, and reopen it: your changes are still there!

About subtasks:

In life, you often get more things done by refining them in smaller, more operational tasks. GTG helps to do just this by defining "subtasks". In GTG, those subtasks are considered as prerequisites that must be completed before being able to close their parent task.

Therefore, in GTG, a task might host one or several subtasks. Those appear as links in the task description, just like the link below. To open and edit a subtask, simply click on its link! Try it yourself: open the following subtask:
<subtask>1@1</subtask>

Closing a task:

In GTG, once you are done with a task, you can close it by pushing either the &quot;Mark as Done&quot; or the &quot;Dismiss&quot; button. Use the first one if the task is done, and the latter if you want to close it because it is not relevant anymore. Want to try it? Try to close the subtask above for instance!

When you close a task, you will notice that all its subtasks will be automatically closed too! Indeed, GTG considers that if you have completed a given task, then you don't need to do its subtasks anymore (they were prerequisites, after all).

Note that the tasks that you have marked as done or dismissed are listed in the &quot;Closed Tasks Pane&quot; which is hidden by default, but you can easily show it using the View menu.

If you press the &quot;Work View&quot; button, only actionable tasks will be displayed in your list.

What is an actionable task? It's a task you can do directly, right now.

It's a task that is already &quot;start-able&quot;, i.e. the start date is already over.

It's a task that doesn't have open subtasks, i.e. you can do the task itself directly.

It's a task that has a due date different than &quot;Someday&quot;, since this kind of date is reserved for things that needs more thoughts before being actionable.

Thus, in short, the Work View shows you tasks that you can do right now. It's very useful when you want to get things done and to focus on the relevant tasks!

If you use tags, you can right click on a tag in the sidebar and choose to hide tasks assigned to this particular tag in the Work View. It is very useful if you have a tag like &quot;@wait&quot; that you use for tasks blocked by some external event (i.e. a phone call you wait to receive).

And finally, an important note regarding the Work View: since the Work View is updated instantaneously, if you edit your task while using the Work View, this task might disappear due to the change you just made (e.g. adding a subtask, adding a tag hidden in the Work View, etc.). To avoid this, it's better not to edit your task while using the Work View.

The Quick Add Entry is the fastest way to create a new task. Use the check box in the View menu to enable and disable the entry field.

To add a task simply type its title in the entry and press Enter. The task will be created and selected in the task browser. If a tag is selected in the Tags Sidebar, it will be applied to the task you created.

You can also create a task in the Quick Add Entry and at the same time specify its tags, due and defer date. Follow these format rules:

tags:tag1,tag2,tag3

Using this you can apply as many tags as you wish using comma as separator. Note that any word in the title that begins with &quot;@&quot; will also be interpreted as a tag!

due:date
defer:date

Using this you can apply a due date or a defer date. Dates can be formated as per your locale or yyyy-mm-dd (for example 2012-04-01) or yyyymmdd (20120401) or mmdd (0401 - the year being implicitly the current one) or today, tomorrow or a weekday name (due:monday means due next Monday). Dates which are added in this way will not appear in the task title.

Examples:

buy stationary tags:purchases,office due:20120330 defer:tuesday

The above example tells GTG to create a new task with the title &quot;buy stationary&quot;, under the tags &quot;purchases&quot; and &quot;office&quot;, with the due date March 30, 2012 and the start date next Tuesday.

call mum tags:family,calls due:sunday defer:tomorrow

The above example tells GTG to create a new task with the title &quot;call mum&quot;, under the tags &quot;family&quot; and &quot;calls&quot;, with the due date next Sunday and the start date tomorrow.

To help you to find specific tasks more easily, GTG allows you to search for tasks based on their content.

Searching for tasks is really easy: just type the words you are looking for in the Quick Add Entry, and select &quot;Search&quot; in the menu that will appear automatically.

GTG stores your searches in the sidebar, under the &quot;Search&quot; section. You can thus always go back to a previous search need it. Search results are updated automatically, so you always get all the tasks matching your search request.

GTG also saves all the search requests you have made until you explicitely delete them (which you can do by right-clicking on them and selecting &quot;Delete&quot;). That allows you to safely quit GTG without loosing your search requests. This can be very useful when you use the search features to identify specific tasks regularly!

GTG search feature is really powerful and accept many parameters that allows you to search for very specific tasks. For instance, using the search query &quot;@errands !today&quot;, you can search for tasks with the @errands tag that must be done today. To learn more about those search query parameters, you can read the documentation available in GTG's help (press F1 or use the Help menu to get access to it).
