I just keep it simple... | | I have one main .org file and edit that | directly. | In this file I've made top level | headings that cover all the things I'm busy on | (they are named: * work, * shopping, * Internet | etc) | | These headings kind of make up for the "context" | choosing part of GTD | | I try to schedule most of the TODO's that I | enter into the .org-file. In that way I can use | the org-agenda to see what I should do next. | | But what I find the biggest advantage of using | org-mode is the fact that everything can be done | by editing a simple plain-text document... | That's useful for me because I've got a MAC at | home, Windows at my work and in the library, and | an old PDA (that's also happy with plain-text) | for on the road... | | I also export the .org file, so I can get a nice | overview of what I need to get done in a html or | pdf document. Another good thing about org-mode | is that you can also use it as a | word-processor-look-a-like. By using .css-files | or latex it's very easy to produce a good | looking document from a plain-text org-file... | | The only thing I'm not so sure about yet is on | using tags or priorities in my org-file. I have | not found a good way to use those yet... And I | also wonder how they could fit into GTD... As | long as I can schedule most of the TODO's, I | don't think I need to set priorities | anyway... And my use of very obvious headings, | kind of excludes the use of tags... | | That's how I do it... but I think everyone will | find their own way of using org/GTD... | | Ciao, | Renzo | | Bytheway, another good option for practicing GTD | would be http://www.tiddlywiki.com I | think they even have discussions about GTD, just | search for GTD in they group-archives at | http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/ `-----
