任务管理可以说是工作及日常生活中最重要也最具挑战性的事情之一。当您在工作中承担越来越多的责任时，您的表现将与您管理任务的能力直接挂钩。


若您的工作有部分需要在电脑上完成，那么您一定很乐意知道，有多款应用软件自称可以为您减轻任务管理的负担。即便这些软件中的大多数都是为 Windows 用户服务的，在 Linux 系统中仍然有不少选择。在本文中，我们就来讨论这样一款软件：Go For It.


### Go For It


[Go For It](http://manuel-kehl.de/projects/go-for-it/) (GFI) 由 Manuel Kehl 开发，他声称：“这是款简单易用且时尚优雅的生产力软件，以<ruby> 待办清单 <rp>  （ </rp> <rt>  To-Do List </rt> <rp>  ） </rp></ruby>为主打特色，并整合了一个能让你专注于当前事务的定时器。”这款软件的定时器功能尤其有趣，它还可以让您在继续工作之前暂停下来，放松一段时间。


### 下载并安装


使用基于 Debian 系统（如Ubuntu）的用户可以通过运行以下终端命令轻松地安装这款软件：



```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mank319/go-for-it
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install go-for-it

```

以上命令执行完毕后，您就可以使用这条命令运行这款应用软件了：



```
go-for-it

```

### 使用及配置


当你第一次运行 GFI 时，它的界面是长这样的：


![gfi-first-run](/data/attachment/album/201511/22/225914gecamjzqrwg48sh3.png)


可以看到，界面由三个标签页组成，分别是<ruby> 待办 <rp>  （ </rp> <rt>  To-Do </rt> <rp>  ） </rp></ruby>，<ruby> 定时器 <rp>  （ </rp> <rt>  Timer </rt> <rp>  ） </rp></ruby>和<ruby> 完成 <rp>  （ </rp> <rt>  Done </rt> <rp>  ） </rp></ruby>。*待办*页是一个任务列表（上图所示的4个任务是默认生成的——您可以点击头部的方框删除它们），*定时器*页内含有任务定时器，而*完成*页则是已完成任务的列表。底部有个文本框，您可以在此输入任务描述，并点击“+”号将任务添加到上面的列表中。


举个例子，我将一个名为“MTE-research-work”的任务添加到了列表中，并点击选中了它，如下图所示：


![gfi-task-added](/data/attachment/album/201511/22/225914leapgwzo4du97sp4.png)


然后我进入*定时器*页，在这里我可以看到一个为当前“MTE-reaserch-work”任务设定的定时器，定时25分钟。


![gfi-active-task-timer](/data/attachment/album/201511/22/225914i4suqv4v4zrvo4ov.png)


当然，您可以将定时器设定为你喜欢的任何值。然而我并没有修改，而是直接点击下方的“<ruby> 开始 <rp>  （ </rp> <rt>  Start </rt> <rp>  ） </rp></ruby>”按钮启动定时器。一旦剩余时间为60秒，GFI 就会给出一个提示。


![gfi-first-notification-new](/data/attachment/album/201511/22/225914t0gmd38tkwdjmgd8.jpg)


一旦时间到，它会提醒我休息5分钟。


![gfi-time-up-notification-new](/data/attachment/album/201511/22/225915n3vdk6v33dhhvvvq.jpg)


5分钟过后，我可以为我的任务再次开启定时器。


![gfi-break-time-up-new](/data/attachment/album/201511/22/225915b0cuhhuz8ucm6k6r.jpg)


任务完成以后，您可以点击*定时器*页中的“<ruby> 完成 <rp>  （ </rp> <rt>  Done </rt> <rp>  ） </rp></ruby>”按钮，然后这个任务就会从*待办*页被转移到*完成*页。


![gfi-task-done](/data/attachment/album/201511/22/225915kgs48tjjqqjb8wns.png)


GFI 也能让您稍微调整一些它的设置。例如，下图所示的设置窗口就包含了一些选项，让您修改默认的任务时长，休息时长和提示时刻。


![gfi-settings](/data/attachment/album/201511/22/225916tn1se3ayj7mya3zg.png)


值得一提的是，GFI 是以 TODO.txt 格式保存待办清单的，这种格式方便了移动设备之间的同步，也让您能使用其他前端程序来编辑任务——更多详情请阅读[这里](http://todotxt.com/)。


您还可以通过[视频]("http://www.youtube.com/mnw556C9FZQ)观看 GFI 的动态展示。


### 结论


正如您所看到的，GFI 是一款简洁明了且易于使用的任务管理软件。虽然它没有提供非常丰富的功能，但它实现了它的承诺，定时器的整合特别有用。如果您正在寻找一款实现了基础功能，并且开源的 Linux 任务管理软件，Go For It 值得您一试。

OK
Task management is arguably one of the most important and challenging part of professional as well as personal life. Professionally, as you assume more and more responsibility, your performance is directly related to or affected with your ability to manage the tasks you’re assigned.

If your job involves working on a computer, then you’ll be happy to know that there are various applications available that claim to make task management easy for you. While most of them cater to Windows users, there are many options available on Linux, too. In this article we will discuss one such application: Go For It.

## Go For It

Go For It (GFI) is developed by Manuel Kehl, who describes it as a “a simple and stylish productivity app, featuring a to-do list, merged with a timer that keeps your focus on the current task.” The timer feature, specifically, is interesting, as it also makes sure that you take a break from your current task and relax for sometime before proceeding further.

## Download and Installation

Users of Debian-based systems, like Ubuntu, can easily install the app by running the following commands in terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mank319/go-for-it sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install go-for-it

Once done, you can execute the application by running the following command:

go-for-it

## Usage and Configuration

Here is how the GFI interface looks when you run the app for the very first time:

As you can see, the interface consists of three tabs: To-Do, Timer, and Done. While the To-Do tab contains a list of tasks (the 4 tasks shown in the image above are there by default – you can delete them by clicking on the rectangular box in front of them), the Timer tab contains task timer, while Done contains a list of tasks that you’ve finished successfully. Right at the bottom is a text box where you can enter the task text and click “+” to add it to the list above.

For example, I added a task named “MTE-research-work” to the list and selected it by clicking on it in the list – see the screenshot below:

Then I selected the Timer tab. Here I could see a 25-minute timer for the active task which was “MTE-reaserch-work.”

Of course, you can change the timer value and set to any time you want. I, however, didn’t change the value and clicked the Start button present below to start the task timer. Once 60 seconds were left, GFI issued a notification indicating the same.

And once the time was up, I was asked to take a break of five minutes.

Once those five minutes were over, I could again start the task timer for my task.

When you’re done with your task, you can click the Done button in the Timer tab. The task is then removed from the To-Do tab and listed in the Done tab.

GFI also allows you to tweak some of its settings. For example, the settings window shown below contains options to tweak the default task duration, break duration, and reminder time.

It’s worth mentioning that GFI stores the to-do lists in the Todo.txt format which simplifies synchronization with mobile devices and makes it possible for you to edit tasks using other frontends – read more about it [here](https://todotxt.com/).

You can also see the GFI app in action in the video below.

## Conclusion

As you have observed, GFI is an easy to understand and simple to use task management application. Although it doesn’t offer a plethora of features, it does what it claims – the timer integration is especially useful. If you’re looking for a basic, open-source task management tool for Linux, Go For It is worth trying.
