FR: Pomodoro timer-like sound notifications indicating timeblock status (working on task, or on break)
fxkrait opened this issue · comments
Pomodoro timers mainly use 2x sounds:
- 1: a task start sound
- 2: a task stop sound
- (And a 3: break end sound, but this can be ignored)
It would be cool if 1 and 2 could be triggered automatically based of a timeblocked schedule, so that there is a live feedback loop letting me know what's going on with my schedule and where I'm at within it, without having to regularly glance at the actual schedule itself.
Also it would be cool if sounds could be customized to specific tasks
- (Say notification sounds for exercise, are different than normal work, so I can know what task I'm going into by just listening to the sound itself).
And in addition, maybe some sort of espeak or Emacspeak speaking the task name when entering a new timeblock, to further clarify and exalt what exact timeblock is being entered.

I don't think this feature is somehow related to a package that just provides interactive day-view calendar for orgmode tasks. Instead, this could be implemented as a separate package.

Maybe this feature makes sense in org-agenda for a blind person, but definitely not in org-timeblock which is a visual day-view calendar.
Sounds good, I'll look into the creating a separate package route. It is sort of a tangential idea, around augmenting functionality of the schedule, and not focusing on the purely visual aspect of it like you said. So these ideas can be kept separate.
Thanks for the reply.
