cumulative total for recurring task

[gour]

Hello,

I've some (taskwarrior) tasks which are recurring daily - e.g. daily reading or exercising, and I'd like to be able to mark them as complete. Moreover, I want to track how long I spent on the task each day, but still get a monthly report on how much time I did e.g. read or exercised in total?

Is something like that achievable with task/timewarrior?

When you give your recurring tasks a distinctive tag, e.g. TRAINING/READING, those will be used for the time tracking in Timewarrior as well when using the on-modify.timewarriorhook. At the end of the month you can use the totals report to get cumulative overview on your spent time with

timew totals :month

or for a specific month:

timew totals january

That sounds great...

...but I wonder what do I miss?

I was missing to mention that you have to install the totals extension. You should find it in /usr/local/share/doc/timew/ext/ directory. Copy it to your extensions directory (.config/timewarrior/extensions) and make it runable.
