I used to try to learn planner.el(part of Muse now?), which turned out rather too complicated to me. This experience also makes me dare not try org mode yet. Sadly that's also my opinion. These two are really great modes but I am a totally deorganized guy who can't plan and concentrate on things todo. I have tried to follow GTD methodology at some time but sadly, I failed at it :) As for your outline idea, I do not think I will love to stay in an form-imposed tool like this. I really want free form without barriers (or the minimum if any). This is why I love ideas behind notes-mode and records-mode: I write things as they come to me withtout any distractions. That's the best tool for me I guess. Regards, Xavier -- http://www.gnu.org http://www.april.org http://www.lolica.org
