and either Emacs or Sublime are hard to beat. I've been following the same system, also after experimenting with multiple systems.
My system has a few minor differences:
- I don't use dates/time in TO DO lists (anything with times or deadline are what calendars are for).
- Done items are never deleted, they are merely moved from the TO DO section to the DONE section.
- I use the todo.txt from one machine only (main laptop). While I use many other machines, I don't bother with synchronization, I just open it on the main laptop if I need it. [It's tempting to implement some distributed P2P or C/S sync protocol somehow, but I view this as procrastination, because in the same time I could generate more value in other ways.]
