Following this blogpost:

I think it is a really good idea to try this out.
At first I was collecting ideas in my regular taskwarrior repository --
this was no good as every task list was flooded by somedays and maybes
which would never leave. But I still wanted to have a nice repository to
collect all my ideas in.
So, the second strategy was to have one big (markdown) file which would
simply collect all my ideas. But now I was doubling and tripling them up
because the list was so long, and it was more of a chore to find where
to put everything than just a quick 'idea add'.
This may be the best of both worlds: making use of the nice interface to
a task database using the full strength of taskwarrior querying, without
cluttering up my main task repository.
The workflow is exactly as with regular taskwarrior, only the executable
is not called `task` (or `t` in my case) but `idea`. So you e.g. add an
idea with `idea add`, or query all diy ideas with `idea +diy`.
Just like regular taskwarrior.
Since I am exclusively using `topen`
(https://git.martyoeh.me/Marty/topen) for my task notes currently, this
commit gets rid of any left-over config files setting up `taskopen`.
Starts to simplify the taskwarrior setup a tiny bit.
Can show tasks accomplished today (tdd, 'Task Done toDay'), since
yesterday (tdy, 'Task Done since Yesterday'), or in the last week (tdw,
'Task Done in the Week').
Fixed taskopen script not opening the correct numbered task
when passed one (either on the command line with `to <id>`
or through taskwarrior with `t <id> open`).
Now it does directly open the correct note.
Extended active task listing to show both the active task from
taskwarrior, but also any currently 'tracking' task from timewarrior.
Ideally, those should be the same - but if they mismatch or timwarrrior
is not correctly tracking the active task, this is still good
information to have at a glance.
Since I am striving for closer connection between my task management, my
mail suite and my calendar appointments, it makes sense to unify all
'office' tasks into the single office module instead of keeping
taskwarrior outside of it.
