I extensively use remember to jot down new tasks/notes/... it feets perfectly since it is almost instantaneous. Sometimes, when at work, someone enters my room to speak about a project. When finished, I fire remember and try to sum up our discussion. This is not really a task to do but when reviewing my notes, it can be switched to a task entry. With my current setup, I have to differenciate, when in remember, if it is a task, a note or something else. If I do not, I do not see these entries when reviewing my org files. This is the big hole in my system which makes me not trust my system :/ What I'd like to have in orgmode is a simpler and homogeneous way to do things. * TODO foo bar would be * foo bar :TYPE: TODO :END: a note would be * foo bar :TYPE: NOTE :END: etc. A default entry would have a special entry type -say UNKNOWN- thus making the review much more trustable. What I like in this idea is the homegenous view of any orgmode file and I guess this would make orgmode file parsing a lot easier. We could even go further by storing all orgmode entries meta-data into drawers (tags, timestamps, states, ...) WDYT ? Regards Xavier
