You might also consider defining a custom agenda view and using bulk actions to archive done tasks into an archive file. I've customized org-agenda-custom-commands to show me done tasks from my org-agenda-files (I'm not sure what this would look like outside customize): ,---- | '(org-agenda-custom-commands | (quote ( | ("u" "View unscheduled tasks" todo "" ((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t))) | ("vd" "View DONE Tasks" ((todo "DONE" nil)) nil nil) | ("vf" "View DEFER Tasks" ((todo "DEFER" nil)) nil nil) | ("vs" "View STARTED Tasks" ((todo "STARTED" nil)) nil nil) | ("vx" "View Stuck Tasks" ((stuck "" nil)) nil nil)))) `---- Call up DONE tasks with =C-c a v d= and then mark them all with =m=. This is a good opportunity to review how productive you were for the day! Pat yourself on the back. Then press =B $= to send tasks from `example.org` to `example.org_archive` (there will be a prompt in the mini-buffer). -- Jeffrey Horn Graduate Lecturer and PhD Student in Economics George Mason University (704) 271-4797 jh...@gmu.edu jrhorn...@gmail.com http://www.failuretorefrain.com/jeff/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
