My question has to do with archiving. I archive my tasks to separate archive files. What I'd really like to be able to do is to identify some tasks as being worth archiving (calling a company to request them to fix a billing error, for example), and some of which are not (picking up the dry cleaning, returning library books). Does anyone have a technique for marking tasks so that they get electively archived when one uses one of the archiving commands? Or would it be best to just archive some tasks to a "garbage" location and some to a "keep" location, and just periodically empty the garbage location? Thanks for any suggestions!
