Hello, I don't know if it's the correct place to ask it. If not, sorry to ask in the wrong place.
How do you manage complex project with Org-mode ? I used Org-mode for several periods of time in recent years. It worked very well for short and day to day tasks. When only a few of theme have deadlines and when you have plenty of time to do them. But, as a student, I regularly have big and important projects to do for the school. The kind of project who need several days to be done, with deadlines too soon, and if you fail one them the consequences can be disastrous. And generally, I have to many of these project in the same time and not enough time to do all the work. So, I also need to follow the progress of each project to choose which is sufficiently advanced to be stop for the benefit of another less advanced project. And I don't know how to manage this kind of projects with Org-mode. How to do it, without failing a 6 days project because I spent to much time on something else and I have only 3 days left with 3 half-day important appointment I cannot cancel. I can't risk failing a single one of these project by trying. So, when I am in a period with a lot of these projects, I stop using Org-mode and concentrate on doing these project as fast as I can. And because I often have this kind of project, I spend most of the year without being able to use Org-mode. So, if you have any suggestion on how to manage, in Org-mode, projects with: * Lot of work to do (many days) * Short deadline (not enough time) * High importance (disastrous consequences in my future in case of fail) * Many of them in the same time * Progression need to be followed to chose where to sacrifice time to limit the damages I will be happy to read them. :) Best regards ----- Seb
