I use Org mode for my to-do list, clocking, and setting effort estimates. I can show the effort estimates for tasks scheduled for today with the columns view and this setting (thanks to this thread):
(setq org-columns-default-format "%60ITEM(Task) %TODO %6Effort(Estim){:} %6CLOCKSUM(Clock) %TAGS")
Then I call the day's agenda with C-c a a
and column view with C-c C-x C-c
. I see a list of tasks with a scheduled or deadline date of today, as well as a sum of the effort estimate:
Task | TODO | Estim | Clock | TAGS | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday 22 October 2019 | | 20:25 | | | gtd: 7:00...... Scheduled: Some task | TODO | | 1:00 | | 8:00...... ---------------- ...
How can I skip the second step and show the effort estimate and its sum in the agenda view?
