The only downside is that GeekTool will place this tinting layer on top of Mindful, so your calendar is slightly dimmed, as well. Try either black or white with a 30% opacity. You might find it helpful to put an empty file geeklet behind your calendar to help it stand out from your desktop picture. Click “Move & Resize Mindful” to move it to the left edge of the screen and you should be good to go. You can select which calendars show up, what time your day starts and ends, and what colors it should use for the lines. (Previously, I was using icalBuddy with Geektool for a textual calendar on my desktop-it just isn’t the same.) Mindful puts a graphical representation of your calendar on your desktop. I recently discovered Mindful ($2) by Argyle Software. Play around until you get something you like. (The Unix date command has a lot of formating options, if you want to play around.)įor fonts, I’m using Helvetica Neue Ultralight 144 for the day, Helvetica Neue Light 24 for the weekday, and Helvetica Neue Regular 36 for the month. Use these commands to get the various date components: You can use an empty file geeklet with a translucent background to help make the text stand out from the background. If you have a light background, use black text if you have a dark background, use white. To set up your calendar, you’ll only need to set the Command, Font, and Color. It’s pretty simple to set up, once you figure out which the relevant fields are in the Properties inspector. GeekTool (free) lets you put the output of shell commands, log files, and images on your desktop. Don’t worry about positioning the geeklets until after you’ve set the font. These will be the current day, the current weekday, and the current month. I’ve found that the thing I missed the most was having my schedule right there where I could see it.Ī few months ago, I sat down with GeekTool and Mindful and recreated a bit of that experience on my desktop.ĭrag three shell geeklets onto the Desktop. That’s okay-each app is doing what it does best. My tasks, calendar, and notes are now spread across four different apps. One of the adjustments I’ve had to make was losing that central view. When Apple released the iPad, I went digital. When’s my next meeting? What was the number for the florist? It was all right there, in my paper-and-ink command center. After getting interrupted, I was a glance away from remembering what I was doing.
Whenever I finished a task, my planner was right there to record my progress through the day. I even bought a nice wooden stand for it to sit at an ergonomic angle on my desk. I had my day right there-my schedule, the tasks I needed to accomplish, and space to take notes (I used a two-page-per-day format).
One of the things I loved about a paper planner was letting it lay open to today as I worked.
