Hi,
I've been using and studying org mode for a few months now, and though
it seems to have great potential, some things still escape me. For
example, do my DONE items simply accumulate forever in todo.org? I know
there's an archiving feature... do I move those done items manually to
an archive when I no longer need to see them?
Also, how do I manage my projects? Org mode seems to "want" to put
everything in one big file. I know I *can* separate trees by file, but
it doesn't seem to be very convenient to do so. For example, if I'm
visiting a project file, is there a way to get an agenda view on just
/that/ file without having to modify org-agenda-files?
I know I'm being a bit vague, but so far the basic operations of
org-mode, which were very fast to use at first, haven't "scaled up" very
easily to handle my whole life, and I'm not sure how to get there.
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give,
--

Stuff accumulates and I personally archive subtrees manually once/month.

I recently wrote about this here.
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#LimitingAgendaView
Maybe that will help?

I've been using org-mode for years and I use it for everything. A
description of my work flow and setup for org-mode is at
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html in case that's useful.
