i'd like to propose 2 hour-long evening sessions: 

{ - } downtime spell$ -- a gentle introduction to a computer terminal [command line interface]
{ - } todo{om$} -------- plotting your agenda on terminal with `taskworrior`


---/- downtime spell$

at dusk we'll gather around our machine/computer terminals to cast some spells [run commands].

        / > terminal [command line interface] is a text based application 
            that deals with text input/output. every computer has it and 
            anything you imagine doing with graphical user interface [and more] 
            you can do through a terminal: navigate your computer filesystem, 
            create/delete files, conjure up images from scratch, edit videos, 
            install and run programms, log into remote computer, hack the planet and so on. 
        / > trick is to know how to communicate with it via particular textual snippets -- commands
    
we'll collectively read A Map Is A Territory zine :// https://solarpunk.cool/zines/map-is-the-territory/ //which is a very sweet and magical introduction to a command line interface
            // This is a place of empowerment, tangible creativity, and mystic bewilderment.
            // While it can be dangerous, it's also exceedingly helpful if you know how to listen.

    and follow along the commands on our computers to conjure up the grand poetic spell ~ '' # # *

through this process we'll bypass all the fluff of a graphical user interface and get to know the subtle powers of textual communication with our machines.
it was always there -- waiting for you ]]


---/- todo{om$}

after getting closer to our machines, we'll meet again to stitch together our routine schedules/agendas on the terminal.
we'll install a calm and collected taskwarrior [a free and open source software] :// https://taskwarrior.org/ //, peak into it and tweak the defaults to fit our needs.
