I've blogged about this before, as I think our "systems" change a bit as we use them and tweak slowly. I'm not a GTD user in the formal sense, though I think I've learned a lot from the whole GTD "thing." My setup is as follows: - "codex.org" - General file, global inbox, and day to day chores, and other notes. Many org-remember templates file here and are later cleaned up to other files - five .org files for fiction projects in various state of incompleation. These include outlines, project management and task setting, and other assorted notes. Think Outline++ - data.org, clippings.org, annotations.org, and links.org. These are all fed from org-remember and mostly don't have internal hierarchy. I think of these files as a database, and I often dump the text of articles that I'm interested in reading and reflecting on in the long term with citation information so I can be sure that I'll have access to them long term. I've written about this on my blog as "fact files." - events.org - schedules and big things that I'm doing. Mostly minimal and the way that I make sure that my agenda view can tell me that I'm going out of town for something or other. - I have org-files for managing website/writing projects, for tychoish.com and cyborginstitute.com. These tend to be more notes+tasks centered than the other finite project based files for fiction things, as these are enduring projects with shorter narratives, as it were - I have technology.org and fiction.org which I must confess I haven't really touched in months, but theoretically there for tech-related todos (hack emacs to do something new, add a keybinding here) and smaller fiction related tasks that don't fit into the bigger projects (short stories, new projects that I don't know if I want to commit to etc.) - I have research.org and employment.org which are both career related, and I haven't touched very much in the last year or so. Alas. - I have an employer specific org file for my current company, which allows me to separate out my work tasks into it's own silo without affect other tasks, while still being a part of my larger org system. Everything is in one directory which is git controlled. Everything is agenda-ized. I often just work in org files making outlines and doing my planning there, but often actionable items come in via org-remember. I toggle between the "org-todo-list" agenda view and the org-agenda-list, and use the -todo-list to get a big picture of everything I'm working on and to create deadlines and schedule tasks, and then use -agenda-list to work from. Relevant sections of my config: (global-set-key (kbd "C-c o a l") 'org-agenda-list) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c o a t") 'org-todo-list) (setq org-agenda-include-all-todo nil) (setq org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done t) (setq org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done t) (setq org-agenda-include-diary t) (setq org-agenda-columns-add-appointments-to-effort-sum t) (setq org-agenda-start-on-weekday nil) (setq org-agenda-default-appointment-duration 60) (setq org-agenda-mouse-1-follows-link t) (setq org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files t) (setq org-agenda-use-time-grid nil) (setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines t) (setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t) I hope this helps....
