While you could use this model:

  1. Add all your tasks to just one file.
  2. archive everything that is billed and payed.


I prefer to use one file for my personal agenda, and one per
customer. Those files tend to grow to more than just a few hundred
lines, and it's easier to find a task in the future.

Todo files for active projects/customers are added to my list of agenda
files (`C-c ['). That way it's easy to find the file by pressing `C-,'
repeatedly (e.g. during a phone call). You can type `C-,' with one hand
easily.

If the project/customer is not active anymore (nothing else to do), I do
a `C-c ]' to remove the file from my list of agenda files. This keeps
the agenda fast and clean.

I'd suggest a file each. Agenda easily compiles schedules from
multiple files. Remember mode as well.

[Orgmode] representation of clients

2009-09-06 Thread Richard Riley

People using org-mode to maintain tasks, order, reminders , notes etc,
how do you represent clients? By a TAG? by a separate category? Separate
file?

In my case I'm writing some SW for a few small companies and am humming
and harring on how best to model the work process, requests, meetings
and cases which arise.

Any pointers/ links appreciated.
