because 4 I can't really do anything now because I just mailed him, should check tomorrow. I don't want to see it here to bother me.
But I want it back tomorrow so I can see it and act on it.
root@bazinga ~# todo snooze 4
Snooze id 4 to date 20200725 (1595635200) - Sat Jul 25 08:00:00 2020
>>>> 1 [TODO] Buy cake for my daughter
>>>> 2 [TODO] Deposit check
>>>> 3 [TODO] Email michael ask for meeting invitation
>>>> 4 [TODO] Follow up with John on quote response snoozed to Sat 25/Jul/2020
By default todo only shows active tasks, as well as snoozed in the past, and current time is past the snoozed time.
root@bazinga ~# todo
>>>> 1 [TODO] Buy cake for my daughter
>>>> 2 [TODO] Deposit check
>>>> 3 [TODO] Email michael ask for meeting invitation
I still can see all snoozed todo if I do todo all.
root@bazinga ~# todo all
>>>> 1 [TODO] Buy cake for my daughter
>>>> 2 [TODO] Deposit check
>>>> 3 [TODO] Email michael ask for meeting invitation
>>>> 4 [TODO] Follow up with John on quote response snoozed to Sat 25/Jul/2020
I want to mark 1 and 2 as done, because I have got the cake
root@bazinga ~# todo done 1 2
>>>> 1 [DONE] Buy cake for my daughter
>>>> 2 [DONE] Deposit check
>>>> 3 [TODO] Email michael ask for meeting invitation
I won't want to keep 1 and 2 because it is irrelevant. Operator "-" is used this case.
root@bazinga ~# todo - 1 2
>>>> 1 [TODO] Email michael ask for meeting invitation
They are gone.
I want to snooze the michael to next Month, since it is too early to ask for invitation.
root@bazinga ~# todo snooze 0901 1
Snooze id 1 to date 0901 (1598918400) - Tue Sep 1 08:00:00 2020
>>>> 1 [TODO] Email michael ask for meeting invitation snoozed to Tue 01/Sep/2020
>>>> 2 [TODO] Follow up with John on quote response snoozed to Sat 25/Jul/2020
Do I have anything to do now?
root@bazinga ~# todo
Nothing at this moment. Hoo Ray!
Nope.
Great. Time to go home.
Next day, I come back to work...
root@bazinga ~# todo
>>>> 2 [TODO] Follow up with John on quote response
Ah ha, I have to follow up with John. Okay email sent.
root@bazinga ~# todo done 2
>>>> 2 [DONE] Follow up with John on quote response
Now get rid of it.
root@bazinga ~# todo - 2
Nothing at this moment. Hoo Ray!
What else in the near future?
root@bazinga ~# todo all
>>>> 1 [TODO] Email michael ask for meeting invitation snoozed to Tue 01/Sep/2020
Yeah, the meeting invitation snoozed task is still there.
