For me, my TODOs are setup so that they record a date stamp for when they were added and whenever they change state e.g. started, done, delegated etc. For non-TODO items, I will often put an inactive timestamp in the heading title. I also make extensive use of the ability to add timestamp entries as part of capture templates - for exmaple, my notes and even the file of bookmakrs (RUIs) I have. -- Tim Cross
