Hello everyone, I'm a new user of org-mode, and seeing the great potential, I am trying to switch to org-mode for handling my day-to-day tasks. I'm going to start off by using org-mode to handle my projects and I need some advice.
I like to keep my projects self-contained. Therefore I use one org-file for each project. Each org-file contains two main headlines: journal and tasks. Under journal I collect all kinds of information: meeting notes, relevant stuff I've read, urls, etc. I also write down what I have done every few days. The journal entries are sorted chornologically. Under tasks I keep all todo items. Frequently my notes on meetings contain ideas for stuff to try. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle these? I don't want to keep them as todo items in the journal since I like to keep changing the todos (e.g., dividing them into subtasks) and I don't want those changes to appear in the journal. My initial thought was to create one headline for each idea and tag it with ":idea:". I could then easily go through all ideas in a project and choose the ones I want to work on by creating todo items. Those ideas would then be further tagged with ":handled:" or something similar. This way I could search for unhandled ideas in my projects. As an alternative I could use separate todo keywords for todos and ideas. Any specific advice or just general thoughts are most appreciated.
