1. Python ( preferably version 3.12.x+ )
2. Create a folder DO_Lists at ~/Desktop -> ~/Desktop/DO_Lists

You need to create a directory at:

~/Desktop/DO_Lists

The folder DO_Lists will be the place where all of the markdown files created will be kept. Therefore, you can refer back to other "dates" / files if you have not been able to complete a task(s).

If you want to call / run the Python File from anywhere in the terminal. You can do:

# create a function that will run the file user types 'do_list'
do_list() {
    # run the Python file
    python ~/scripts/do_list.py
}

There is a really great, simple and easy-to-use Obsidian plugin called 'Checklist'

This is a really nice plugin! If you use Obsidian, you need to check it out.

However, to check my tasks, I always need to boot up Obsidian to view and interact with them. The reason I use this great plugin is its simplicity. Then again, if every time I will have to start Obsidian to see my tasks; then it starts to slow you down and becomes a pain in the ass.

Since I'm a sucker for performance, I don't keep a program running if I'm not using it.

"Let's go ahead and make a simple Python DO List Program"

So, I did! This program allows the user to insert tasks into a Markdown file, with the file name as the current date. Hence, the user will then be able to enter his / her tasks and program will write the user's input into the markdown file.

When the user will run the program; he will be prompted to a few options:

1. Create the Markdown File and Insert Tasks
2. Display the uncompleted tasks
3. Display the completed tasks
4. Check-Off / "Remove" tasks
5. Exit the program

- [ ] Task

- [x] Task
