Subject: still struggling with workflow

Message-ID: <5048EFE0.4080702@binghamton.edu> (raw)

I've been using org-mode for, oh about a year now, and it seems like a
very useful tool. But I'm still struggling to understand and implement
effective workflows for projects, re-using bits and pieces of text.

For example, I have a general project related to heat wave morbidity and
mortality, and indoor heat index. Hopefully I can parlay it into a
number of distinct studies, each with IRB applications, grant
applications, and papers (all pdf output), and presentations (beamer pdf
output.)  For example, all my stuff for the first study is in a single
org file, HeatWaves1.org. The second project's documents will need to
re-use much of that material, but not all of it; and there will be some
new material.

Is it viable to keep everything related to my heat wave work, for all
substudies, in the one org file, and customize the output to my needs at
different times, via judicious use of headlines and :export tags?  Or is
it best to start a new org file for each substudy and copy/paste what is
needed from the old?

Thanks.
