I usually use one file per category of tasks. Full-text search is very powerful, and helm-rifle makes it very convenient. > What are you experience ? Do you encounter some limitation with one big > file or multiple ? I capture small notes into defined files (i.e. quotes into quotes.org, arbitrary text snippets into remember.org). When I expect something to become an article, I create a new file with journal¹ and search those with deft². Some of my notes go directly to my website. There I have both regular articles (single org-mode files, created with M-x draketo-CATEGORY³) and capture-targets (mainly comments, climate news, and quotes). For writing RPG books, I use single files from which I sometimes extract parts (i.e. a table⁴) into their own org-mode files if I want to re-use them in another document.
