Fair enough. I tend to have dozens of projects that have to be running in parallel and prioritized depending on deadlines or new information arriving. So, I personally need an elaborate setup of project priorities and statuses. So, I use todo keywords on projects just like on tasks; for the same purposes. > 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... +100500 :) That's a terrible terrible idea to pollute agenda view with tasks that do not absolutely need to be done on a given day. Such agenda is useless in the long run. > - STRT tasks do not change often: they are either STRT or DONE (hence > the need for dedicated agenda views). I personally prefer DOING. IMHO, it creates a better sense that the task must be progressed further. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
