There is, actually.
It's quite simple: capture all the tasks into the proper place right away,
instead of dumping them into one place and sorting out later.
Firstly, there's capturing into project.
A project is just a heading at gtd.org/Projects/project-name.
Once a task is in a project, there's rarely any need to refile it.
I tag each task with the project tag anyway, just in case.
The project setup is a list entry like this:
'("TINY" "y" "tiny.el")
That's the tag, key binding and heading name. I push this data into
`org-capture-templates`.
Now I can capture into project gtd.org/Projects/tiny.el with "C-- y".
Secondly, there's a special capture for pdf files, I've posted it on
the list before.
Thirdly, there are captures from `org-protocol`. I have this setup:
(setq org-protocol-default-template-key "l")
(push '("l" "Link" entry (function org-handle-link)
"* TODO %(org-wash-link)\nAdded: %U\n%(org-link-hooks)\n%?")
org-capture-templates)
`org-handle-link` will distinguish:
1. Links for StackOverflow questions, putting them in wiki/stack.org/Questions.
2. Links to YouTube, downloading the video with `youtube-dl` and including both
the link to the original and the downloaded videos in the captured item.
I highly recommend `youtube-dl`: watching videos in vlc compared to firefox
is like editing in Emacs compared to gedit:)
3. All the rest will be dumped into ent.org/Articles.
`org-wash-link` currently just strips the unnecessary " - Stack
Overflow" from the link description, since the task is already in
wiki/stack.org/Questions. It's possible to add other rules per website
of course.
Hopefully some of the described tricks are useful.
I can post the code on github if anyone's interested in the details.

Nice idea.
A quick grance at `org-refile' in org.el, something like this will do:
(defun org-refile-to-myfile ()
"Refile to myfile.org"
(interactive)
(org-refile nil nil '("my refiling pos" "myfile.org" "" 0)))
The 3rd argument seems to be `(list message file re pos)', but not
sure how `re' and `pos' works. Could someone enlignten me?

Re: [O] advice on ways to quicken refiling..perhaps a hotkey to refile to specific org file/header?
I have this in my config, although I don't refile that much lately: (setq org-refile-targets '((nil :maxlevel . 3) (org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 3))) This should give you an ido choice of all headings up to level 3 in all your agenda files as refile targets. Then just give a few headings a unique enough name and you're done. regards, Oleh On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 4:43 PM, Xebar Saram wrote: > Hi all > > i find the normal C-c w then manually choosing a file to allocate each > 'capture' pretty slow. i am looking for any advice on workflows you guys > have to make this quicker. > > one thing i was thinking of was maybe assigning a hotkey to do a refile to a > specific note/heading. so ill have 5-6 hotkeys to my most common files to > speed things up, can this be done? if so can anyone show my an example of > such a thing? > > kind regards > > Z.
[O] advice on ways to quicken refiling..perhaps a hotkey to refile to specific org file/header?
Hi all i find the normal C-c w then manually choosing a file to allocate each 'capture' pretty slow. i am looking for any advice on workflows you guys have to make this quicker. one thing i was thinking of was maybe assigning a hotkey to do a refile to a specific note/heading. so ill have 5-6 hotkeys to my most common files to speed things up, can this be done? if so can anyone show my an example of such a thing? kind regards Z.
