Personal workflows

To-do keywords

My to-do keywords are largely adapted from Henrik's / Doom's

TODO

A single actionable task.

PROJ

A project. This is a large-scope "task" with many sub-tasks.

KILL

Cancelled, aborted, or no longer applicable.

DONE

Task completed!

HOLD

This task is on hold because of me.

WAIT

This task is waiting on some external factor.

IDEA

This item is under consideration. It will likely turn into either a TODO or a KILL.
