-TODO: clean this up a bit
+## Eventually I'd like to make calendar-cli easier to use, so some of the "external logic" in those examples will eventually be moved into the tool itself.  Anyway, some of the power of having a command-line utility is that it's possible to do just anything ...

 ## Take out a personal agenda from different calendar sources:
-for section in pp seb house default work holidays ; do ./calendar-cli.py --config-section $section calendar agenda  --agenda-days 20; done | sort ; for section in seb house default work-tasks pp-tasks ; do echo $section; ./calendar-cli.py --config-section $section todo --limit 10 --hide-parent list ; done ## AGENDA

 ## Interactively set categories on uncategorized tasks:
-cd ~/calendar-cli/ ; { ./calendar-cli.py todo list --list-categories | perl -pe 's/^/# /' ; ./calendar-cli.py todo --nocategories list --todo-template='./calendar-cli.py todo --todo-uid={uid} edit --set-categories=foo # {summary}' ; }  > /tmp/nocat ; $EDITOR /tmp/nocat ; . /tmp/nocat

+    done
+    . $tempfile2
+else
+    echo "No uncategorized todo-items on the calendar.  Good!"
+fi
+rm $tempfile2

 ## Interactively mark tasks as completed:
-cd ~/calendar-cli/ ; { ./calendar-cli.py todo --hide-parents --limit 10 list --todo-template='# ./calendar-cli.py todo --todo-uid={uid} complete # {summary}' ; }  > /tmp/tocomplete ; $EDITOR /tmp/tocomplete ; . /tmp/tocomplete

-## Interactively mark tasks as completed, with category:
-CAT=keyboard ; cd ~/calendar-cli/ ; { ./calendar-cli.py todo --hide-parents --categories=$CAT --limit 10 list --todo-template='# ./calendar-cli.py todo --todo-uid={uid} complete # {summary}' ; }  > /tmp/tocomplete ; $EDITOR /tmp/tocomplete ; . /tmp/tocomplete
+echo -e "\nNext up: Mark tasks that are completed as completed.  Press enter"
+read
+$EDITOR $tempfile

 ## Set more realistic due-dates on overdue tasks
-cd ~/calendar-cli/ ; { ./calendar-cli.py todo --overdue list --todo-template='./calendar-cli.py todo --todo-uid={uid} postpone --due "in 2d" # {summary}' ; }  > /tmp/toprocrastinate ; $EDITOR /tmp/toprocrastinate ; . /tmp/toprocrastinate
+calendar-cli todo --overdue list --todo-template='calendar-cli todo --todo-uid={uid} postpone --due "in 4d" # {summary}' > $tempfile 
+if [ -s $tempfile ]
+then
+    echo -e "\nNext up: Look over overdue tasks and consider procrastinating some of them.  Press enter"
+    $EDITOR $tempfile
+    . $tempfile
+fi
 
 ## Clean the list a bit by procrastinating tasks (this includes the overdue)
-cd ~/calendar-cli/ ; { ./calendar-cli.py todo --hide-future list --todo-template='./calendar-cli.py todo --todo-uid={uid} postpone "in 5d" # {summary}' ; }  > /tmp/toprocrastinate ; $EDITOR /tmp/toprocrastinate ; . /tmp/toprocrastinate
+calendar-cli todo --hide-future list --todo-template='calendar-cli todo --todo-uid={uid} postpone "in 4d" # {summary}' > $tempfile
+if [ -s $tempfile ]
+then
+    echo -e "\nNext up: Consider procrastinating the start-date of some of the tasks on your list.  Press enter"
+    $EDITOR $tempfile
