Collect all browser URLs, output to terminal, and archive to todoist

Clean Workspace: Archive Web Browser Tabs

I've been experimenting with how to make my mornings more productive. One glitch I've found in my mind is I can easily get distracted by open tabs on my browser, especially if I'm trying to write or read something which I want to give my full attention to. I've found that if I close all my tabs, I can focus better on the task at hand. However, I don't want to lose any interesting tabs so I never actually do that.

This is simple utility to automate this process. It will close all your tabs (in both Safari & Chrome), and send them to todoist (and output) them to the terminal.

We'll see if this actually helps!

Installation

poetry install
poetry run clean-workspace

Usage

• Add your todoist token to .envrc and direnv allow .
• Customize the url and domain blacklist

Collecting Tab Description Via AppleScript

Here's a quick script you can use to collect a description of what you were working on via applescript:

dialogResult=$(
osascript <<EOT
set dialogResult to display dialog "What were you working on yesterday?" buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" giving up after 300 default answer ""
return text returned of dialogResult
EOT
)
