When my system in org is running smoothly I will export to Google Calendar on a regular basis. Searching back through the list there are quite a lot of snippets describing how people use org to keep appointments, but no overview. I would like to write a tutorial on how you can keep your appointments in org, so I thought that I would ask list members if they would post some details of their system. I am intending to keep my appointments in a dedicated org file (calendar.org). At the moment I am using a remember template which adds them with a tag of APPT. I the use a custom agenda view if I only want to see appointments. I am particularly interested in the best way to deal with repeating appointments. For example how do you deal with a weekly appointment that has a defined start and end date. Ian.
