hi, I am relatively new (even if I used it years ago) to orgmode.
I still remember.... :-)
I extensively use remember to jot down new tasks/notes/... it feets perfectly since it is almost instantaneous. Sometimes, when at work, someone enters my room to speak about a project. When finished, I fire remember and try to sum up our discussion. This is not really a task to do but when reviewing my notes, it can be switched to a task entry. With my current setup, I have to differenciate, when in remember, if it is a task, a note or something else. If I do not, I do not see these entries when reviewing my org files. This is the big hole in my system which makes me not trust my system :/
For things that you need to decide about later, I would use a special template with a special tag. You can then later always searc for this tag, decide, and refile.
What I'd like to have in orgmode is a simpler and homogeneous way to do things. * TODO foo bar would be * foo bar :TYPE: TODO :END:
No. I believe that having TODO keywords and tags in special places is really critical for Org-mode when used in a simple way. And since the philosophy of Org is to build up use from simple to complex, I don't want to change this. Also, I fail to see how this would help the proble you describe above. On the other hand, you can define with a template that will interactively prompt you for a tag, so that you can make this decision when starting remember. - Carsten
a note would be * foo bar :TYPE: NOTE :END: etc. A default entry would have a special entry type -say UNKNOWN- thus making the review much more trustable. What I like in this idea is the homegenous view of any orgmode file and I guess this would make orgmode file parsing a lot easier. We could even go further by storing all orgmode entries meta-data into drawers (tags, timestamps, states, ...) WDYT ?
