>From my own experience, Orgmode 'favors' tags more than categories i.e., there is more bells and whistles surrounding tags rather than categories. If you are starting out, my recommendation would be to fit/think (or re-fit/re-think) your personal workflow in terms of tags rather than categories. The key principle is tags to headline/task association is dynamic while tags to category association is persistent. > > All I'm really looking for is a basic organization, to let me "group" > tasks of different broad functional areas -- accounting, recruitment, > IT, and so on. > I suggest one file for each with a FILETAG attached to them. It might help you to define some sequence and specialized TODO keywords. Have zero tags to begin with and limit your tags as much as possible.
