Not honey-licking your shoes. Being allergic to linear time and its implementation (calendars, clocks...), I found org-mode of great help when dealing with normal people. Using the ! flag to Orgmode TODO states, I can track time without having to look at it. Wew! But let's get to the point. Jaromil, Yaakov and I started AutOrg, as a way to combine different goals, the main drive being Yaakov wanting us to use GTD in org-mode. Thus we started thinking about AutOrg, an autonomous, distributed information system based on Orgmode and Git. One of the obvious issue that came up concerns the ways to "share GTD", i.e. to apply it to groups. GTD is a methodology for the individual, and each individual tends to tailor it to her own world-view. I explain the kind of issues more in depth in the AutOrg documentation[1], but I want to keep this reasonably short. How do you guys use CATEGORIES, PROPERTIES and TAGS in combination with TODO states and Org-Agenda to optimize your GTD workflow? What strategy do you take when you have a personal SEQ_TODO and need to work with other people, using a different SEQ_TODO?
