+Set a custom location for your task file:
 ```bash
-tasks list           # All tasks
-tasks list pending   # Only pending tasks
-tasks list completed # Only completed tasks
-tasks ls            # Short alias
+export TASKMAN_DATA_FILE="$HOME/my-tasks.json"
 ```
 
-#### Managing Tasks
+### Priority Levels
+- **High Priority** (`!`): Red text - urgent tasks
+- **Normal Priority** (`-`): Yellow text - regular tasks
+- **Low Priority** (`·`): Cyan text - nice-to-have tasks
 
-```bash
-tasks done 3         # Mark task ID 3 as completed
-tasks delete 5       # Delete task ID 5
-tasks help          # Show help
+## 🎨 Visual Features
+
+### Color System
+- **Active Tasks**: Text colored by priority (red/yellow/cyan)
+- **Completed Tasks**: Same priority colors but dimmed for subtle indication
+- **Status Bullets**: Green checkmarks for completed, colored circles for active
+- **Selection**: Reverse highlighting for currently selected task
+
+### Timer Display
+- Shows how long ago each task was created
+- Updates in real-time for active tasks
+- Uses local timezone for accurate time calculation
+- Formats: `[now]`, `[5m]`, `[2h]`, `[3d]`
+
+### Mini-Game Animation
+- Chrome dino-style side-scrolling game with jumping player and obstacles
+- Press 'x' to toggle animation on/off
+- Automatic jumping and varied obstacles for entertainment
+- Runs alongside task management without interference
+
+## 📁 File Structure
+```
+~/.taskman/
+└── tasks.json          # Task storage (default location)
 ```
 
-### Aliases
-
-The plugin provides convenient aliases:
-
-```bash
-tm add "Buy groceries"    # Same as 'tasks add'
-task list               # Same as 'tasks list'
-todo done 1             # Same as 'tasks done 1'
-```
-
-## Priority Levels
-
-Tasks support three priority levels with color coding:
-
-- **High Priority** (`!`) - 🔴 Red, for urgent tasks
-- **Normal Priority** (`-`) - 🟡 Yellow, default priority
-- **Low Priority** (`·`) - 🔵 Cyan, for less urgent tasks
-
-## Task Display
-
-Tasks are displayed with visual indicators:
-
-```
- ✓ [!] Completed high priority task     (green)
- ○ [-] Pending normal priority task     (yellow)
- ○ [·] Pending low priority task        (cyan)
-```
-
-## Sidebar Workflow
-
-Perfect for split-terminal development workflow:
-
-1. **Split your terminal** horizontally or vertically
-2. **Run `tasks ui`** in one pane for persistent task view
-3. **Work in the other pane** while keeping tasks visible
-4. **Quick updates** with keyboard shortcuts
-
-## Auto-completion
-
-The plugin provides intelligent tab completion:
-
-```bash
-tasks <TAB>              # Shows: add, list, done, delete, etc.
-tasks add "task" <TAB>   # Shows: high, normal, low
-tasks done <TAB>        # Shows available task IDs
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Optional Startup Summary
-
-To show task summary when opening terminal, uncomment this line in the plugin:
-
-```bash
-# In ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/taskman/taskman.plugin.zsh
-_taskman_startup_summary  # Uncomment this line
-```
-
-This shows:
-```
-📋 Task Summary: 3 pending, 2 completed
-   Type 'tasks' to manage your tasks
-```
-
-## Data Storage
-
-Tasks are stored in `~/.taskman/tasks.json`:
-
+### Task Data Format
 ```json
 {
   "tasks": [
     {
       "id": 1,
-      "text": "Fix login bug",
-      "completed": false,
+      "text": "Complete project setup",
+      "completed": true,
       "priority": "high",
       "created_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00"
     }
   ],
-  "next_id": 2
+  "next_id": 2,
+  "sort_mode": "default"
 }
 ```
 
-## Examples
+## 🔧 Technical Details
 
-### Daily Developer Workflow
+- **Language**: Python 3.6+
+- **Dependencies**: Built-in libraries only (curses, json, datetime)
+- **Storage**: JSON format for human-readable task data
+- **Cross-platform**: Works on macOS, Linux, and other Unix-like systems
+- **Performance**: Efficient curses-based rendering with 100ms refresh rate
 
+## 🎯 Tips & Tricks
+
+1. **Quick Task Entry**: Use Tab in input mode to cycle through priority levels
+2. **Efficient Navigation**: Use `k`/`j` (vim-style) or arrow keys for navigation
+3. **Sort Persistence**: Your preferred sort mode is remembered between sessions
+4. **Bulk Operations**: Use CLI commands for scripting and automation
+5. **Custom Storage**: Set `TASKMAN_DATA_FILE` to sync tasks across different setups
+6. **Visual Cues**: Completed tasks are automatically moved to bottom with visual separator
+7. **Time Awareness**: Timer shows local time, perfect for tracking task age across time zones
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+- **Unicode Display**: Ensure your terminal supports Unicode for proper emoji display
+- **Color Issues**: Some terminals may not support all color combinations
+- **Permission Errors**: Check write permissions for the task storage directory
+
+### Debug Mode
 ```bash
-# Morning planning
-tasks add "Review PR #123" high
-tasks add "Fix login bug" high  
-tasks add "Update docs" low
-
-# Check current tasks
-tasks list pending
-
-# Work in interactive mode (split terminal)
-tasks ui
-
-# Quick CLI updates
-tm done 1
-tm add "Deploy hotfix" high
-
-# End of day review
-tasks list completed
+# Run with Python directly for debugging
+python3 ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/taskman/task_manager.py
 ```

-Aliases:
-  tm, task, todo - All point to 'tasks' command
+Features:
+  • Configurable storage location via TASKMAN_DATA_FILE environment variable
+  • Automatic sorting with completed tasks always at bottom
+  • Priority-based text colors with dimmed completed tasks
+  • Humanized creation timers showing task age
+  • Visual separator between active and completed tasks
+  • Multiple sort modes: creation order, priority, alphabetical
+
+Priority Colors:
+  • High Priority (!) - Red text for active, dimmed red for completed
+  • Normal Priority (-) - Yellow text for active, dimmed yellow for completed
+  • Low Priority (·) - Cyan text for active, dimmed cyan for completed
 
 Data Storage:
-  Tasks are stored in: ~/.taskman/tasks.json
+  Default: ~/.taskman/tasks.json
+  Custom:  Set TASKMAN_DATA_FILE environment variable
 
-Requirements:
-  Python 3.6+ (for interactive UI and CLI operations)
+Configuration:
+  # In your ~/.zshrc (before loading Oh-My-Zsh)
+  export TASKMAN_DATA_FILE="$HOME/Documents/my-tasks.json"
+
+Priority Levels:
+  • High Priority (!) - Red text, for urgent tasks
+  • Normal Priority (-) - Yellow text, default priority
+  • Low Priority (·) - Cyan text, for less urgent tasks
+
+Color Scheme:
+  • Task text is colored based on priority and completion status
+  • Completed tasks show dimmed priority colors to maintain context
+  • Visual separator divides active and completed tasks
