Hi Rick,
I'm guessing you have a really good reason for organizing your project

case this email isn't really useful--but, in the extremely unlikely
event that you don't, I thought I'd note how this becomes a non-issue
if you organize your work in the following way:
* My main project outline
** TODO do something
** NEXT do this
SCHEDULED: <2007-07-12 Thu>
** do something else
Thanks for the suggestion, I can see how this structure might be better
suited for this sort of thing, and I do structure much of my org-file
like this, though I hadn't thought of using a NEXT keyword.
I think my problem is that I sometimes find myself torn between outlines
and lists/checkboxes. Lists/checkboxes have some advantages over
outlines, though outlines are obviously more powerful. I find I tend to
use lists/checkboxes for smaller tasks which are best done in sequence,
and where I want to track the % of progress. Is this possible with
outlines?
e.g.
1. [X] Do this first
2. [X] Do this second
3. [ ] Do this collection of tasks third but in any order [66%]
- [X] foo
- [ ] bar
- [X] baz
4. [ ] Do this fourth
I might well take your suggestions on board though and see how I get on.
This said I can still think of situations where I might want
follow-mode in the agenda to move the point directly to a
bookmarked\tagged jump-point within an outline. For example, I often
write quite extensive notes within an outline heading, and sometimes it
might be nice to jump straight to where you were editing.
R.
