I don't know if other people use Org this way or have used it this way, but I think it could be hard to maintain... usually your Org files will be project-oriented (or task-oriented) and you will use the agenda and timeline functions to display information time-wise. But maybe I'm wrong here, or you may specifically need this structure. > Now, at the end of each month, e.g 2007-11-30, I have a heading on the > same level called Cyclic Todo.

The general issue you're raising here is: how to archive closed instances of cyclic tasks? Here is how I do it: - I close the cyclic task - I add a note if needed - I archive the task with C-c C-x C-s - I copy the task back at point with C-y Then, instead of having the same task with loooongs notes under its headline, I have several archived instances of the task with a note for each of them. I'm quite okay with the workaround above, but it has two drawbacks: - it's safer to C-y immediately (otherwise you'll struggly to find the right thing to yank) - each archived task has the same headline (which might be confusing when reviewing (?) your archives I don't know if other people already came across the same need and other workarounds. > Is anyone willing to share their particular setup, or examples of > variations. I find my current setup a little cumbersome. Argh... we definitely need to demonstrate different setups in the tutorial section of http://orgmode.org :-/ -- Bastien _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
