Hi Marcelo,

This is a thread to share your org dir (you have one right) file
structure. The title is because I see many of org users prefer having
big monolithic files, and I have a slightly different line of
thought.
I have a handful of central files: e.g, inbox.org, reading.org,
computer.org, writing.org, and so on. I've found, however, that on my
relatively modest machines org/outline buffers slow down at appr.
12,000+ lines and become more or less unnavigable at appr. 30,000+
lines
(especially if they have a deeply nested structure). Whenever a file
gets too large, I simply create new files for sub-projects and
sub-topics (e.g., perl.org, emacs.org, etc.) and link to them from the
main file (e.g., computer.org). I also do a lot of archiving.
FWIW, I've found it quite convenient to rely on filetags to organize
my
notes. I've written a few functions that allow me to limit my agenda
to
a subset of agenda files that share a filetag (e.g., "emacs" or
"writing"). This is a bit quicker than calling agenda commands on all
agenda files and then filtering afterward. It also allows for greater
focus on a particular area of work.
Here are the functions:

Hi Matt,
this is very interesting!
One idea: Instead of setting the value of org-agenda-files,
you can also restrict in the following way:
(org-agenda-remove-restriction-lock)
(put 'org-agenda-files 'org-restrict my-file-list)
(setq org-agenda-overriding-restriction 'files)
The restriction sticks until you remove it with `C-c C_x >'
I am not sure this will work better for your case - but maybe it will.
