The goal of trackrrr is to ...
You can install the released version of trackrrr from CRAN with:
install.packages("trackrrr")trackrrr expects to work with a project directory set up as a collection of projects. Each collection has subdirectories of individual projects, as well as an archive directory, where projects are moved to when they are no longer active.
For example:
projects/
- personal/
- trackrrr/
- media-server/
- degoogle/
- work
- tps-report-generator-pkg
- promote-synergy
- side-hustle
- knowledge-graph-buildout
Within each project there's a worklog.md that contains a # ToDo section, with tasks to do, broken up into sections, followed by a # meta section, containing the project metadata, and then a # notes section, which has reverse-chronologically organized work notes. Additionally supporting documents / artefacts can be included in the project folder and linked to from the worklog. Ideally you would keep all the work on the project in a different folder though (your project tracking folder should be under git version control, so plan accordingly).
worklog.md
# ToDo
- [x] create package and push to GitHub
- [] create script to write out a new project
- [] write spec for folder structuer into appropriate place -- where do I do this in an R pkg?
# meta
```{r metadata}
start_date = "2020-01-01"
project_title = "trackrrr"
priority = "high"
archived_data = NA
```

The helper scripts can easily be collected and represented as an R package. Also this R package can contain the spec for the folder structure and the metadata included in each worklog #yoloswaggins

Clarity. Since text is the universal interface, and I want the system to be as low friction as possible, I'll develop a system to take my notes in markdown, and then write some helper scripts to parse the folder structure and give me some views of the projects.

Going through my yearly review I realized that I'm doing a fairly poor job of working on important but non-urgent things. This is coming from a lack of easy project overviews. I'll spend some time defining the needs I have and exploring the solutions that can meet those needs.
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
library(trackrrr)
