I came across an interesting, simple, and intuitive system to get  
things done, described here:

[http://www.markforster.net/autofocus-system/](http://www.markforster.net/autofocus-system/)

I wrote a dirt-simple commandline script to use this system on my  
linux laptop, posted here:

and here:

I would be grateful for any input, because I know the way I’m doing  
things is quite clunky, but I cannot thinking of any way to do it  
differently.

Interesting system… What about adding functionality to edit an entry  
and to remove entries too?.
