I have a Quick Notes topic in Telegram. It is the nearest thing my personal system has to an input box: send a sentence from my phone and let the machinery put it somewhere useful. The first version was efficient in the way a paper shredder is efficient. It could turn a message into a calendar entry or task, but it did not understand that a thought, a reference, a question, and a commitment are different things. ...
My Google Tasks lists used to have a polite but important lie built into them. They mixed things I needed to do with work my AI assistant, Closp, could do. A reminder to make a phone call sat beside a research job Closp was perfectly capable of completing. Both appeared in the same list, in the same form, as if both were waiting for me. That is not a shared system. It is an AI quietly adding its own homework to the human’s pile. ...
A quick recap: I’ve been experimenting with a “GTD copilot” that runs as a personal daemon and does the boring parts of planning: scanning inboxes, creating properly-scoped tasks, looking ahead at the calendar, and sending a single clean briefing. This post is a field report: the minimal structure that made the system useful, plus the guardrails that stopped it turning into task spam. Why this works (the GTD pain points) If you’re doing GTD seriously, the pain is rarely “I don’t know what to do.” It’s: ...
This document covers the initial setup of Clawdbot on a fresh Ubuntu host and connecting it to the services you’ll use day-to-day. GTD workflow (task lists, daily/weekly rituals, prompts, templates) is intentionally deferred to a Day 2 doc. 0) What you’re building A personal assistant that: runs as a daemon (Gateway) on a server talks to you over Telegram can access Google Workspace (Gmail/Calendar/Tasks/Drive) optionally integrates with GitHub Useful links: ...
My name is Timur Davletshin. I’m a software engineer with a long-standing passion for personal productivity. I’ve been practicing Getting Things Done for the last 10 years. The methodology itself has never been the problem — the problem has always been the tooling. GTD asks you to maintain an inbox, a task tracker, a calendar, reference files, and a regular review habit. In practice that means juggling three or four apps, copying things between them, and spending real effort just keeping the system running. Every few years I’d burn out on the maintenance overhead and start over with a new stack. ...
