So how would you "manage" such situation in org-mode ? Let me give it a try. When I am at Task A but interupted for Task B, I will mark Task A with one of the todo-keywords (you can create one specific for interruption for example PAUSE). Then you need to review what is on your plate by C-c a t to decide your next action after Task B. -- Emacs uptime: 8 days, 14 hours, 0 minutes, 20 seconds
