Priorityignore

A simple program to show/hide priorities.

Documentation A couple of weeks ago, I read an article in the

Harvard Business Review entitled Two Lists You Should Look At Every Morning[1]. The first is the usual priority list: everything you care about, that you want to spend your attention span on. The other, even more important list, is everything you will ignore: everything that distracts you, saps your time, that takes you away from your achievements. To make a list of everything you do that, ultimately, doesn't make you happy.

It was a solid idea, and I thought it would make a good variation on RightNow!, my last "priority manager" that keeps list of everything you care about. Like RightNow, Priority/Ignore uses your browser's localstore to store its data: nothing is stored here, or anywhere else, and every browser will have its own local store. If you use more than one browser, this may present a problem, but most people have one browser per device, and these lists shouldn't be that long.

This is mostly a tech demo for various JS tools. It is probably one of the cleanest framework for developing webapps I've ever written, and is likely to be the template I use for developing for the next year: Grunt, Mocha, Zombie, Coffee, Haml, Less.

There's an Easter Egg in the code. After installing, try typing in "Defeat the Empire" or "Master the Force" as priorities and see what happens.
