 # Rusty-tasks
 A rewrite of an older CLI todo system without python and regex
+
+## Goals
+
+- [ ] BLAZING FAST!
+- [ ] replace python with rust
+- [ ] replace regex with a markdown parsing library
+- [ ] learn some rust along the way
+
+## Ideas
+
+If you've used the bullet journal technique before, think if this as the
+digital, automated version of that.
+
+- Accessible from anywhere in the terminal (TMUX, bare shell, etc)
+    * works really well with a drop-down terminal
+- Takes advantage of default editor (vim, emacs, etc)
+- Take advantage of Markdown for formatting
+- Organize tasks at different levels of urgency
+    * Daily - Must get done now
+    * Weekly - Must get done in the near future
+    * Monthly - I'm going to forget if I don't write it down but It's a ways away
+- Every day start a new file 
+    * files should be dated
+- Carry over uncompleted tasks from previous day
