I don't really have "work projects", I just have a top level project called "work" that contains 2nd level tasks. I could have multiple work projects, but I don't have that need right now. Of course, priorities often change. What I did for a while (and was wrong) was to SCHEDULE reminders for important tasks or set a DEADLINE for when I need to see the task pop up in my agenda. That's a terrible abuse of scheduling and deadlines... When I managed to stick to using schedules and deadlines properly, I misused to-do keywords by confusing them with priorities: for example, I would set a task to STRT just so it would show up first in the agenda view. Another wrong direction. What happens now is this: - SCHEDULED and DEADLINE don't move very often because I have very few things that are really scheduled or have a deadline. - STRT tasks do not change often: they are either STRT or DONE (hence the need for dedicated agenda views). - What *I* change a lot are (1) priority cookies and (2) NEXT/TODO status. Something that was NEXT suddenly becomes something I can forget, and vice versa. This setup is not for everyone or every work constraint - but it feels "self-regulating" in a sense. -- Bastien
