Hi list, I've taken a break of org for two weeks and started using Things.app on OSX. It is a great app, simple and effective. However, nothing comes close to the simplicity and powerfulness of org, mainly for someone used to emacs. I came back to org and felt at home.
With org, I have a gtd.org file, that lists projects (items tagged as :PROJECT:) and actionable items (Any item with a TODO). I have other several tags for the TODO items such as :CALL:, :HOME:, :PERSONAL:, :WORK:, etc. I then use the agenda to slice and dice as I wish, the global todo list being the one I use the most (and sometimes restricting this same view by tags). One thing that I miss though is the concept of a ubiquitous Next Actions list. I know it is simply a list, and filtering in the agenda for TODO items could be the equivalente of that, *except* that with Things I can reorder as I will, so, I was constantly putting the very next action list at the top and would eventually re-negotiate this decision throughout the day. With org, though, re-ordering is clunkier and takes more time. I could of course, just re-order directly on my gtd.org file, but I have a bit of additional noise there that I don't want (non-todo items, specifically items tagged as projects). I wonder if it would be possible to re-order directly on the agenda buffer, move an item up or down? Anyway, food for thought :) Marcelo. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
