I'm having all relevant data (projects, personal, other) in one file and
use the archive function to clean up the main file. Some very big files
are linked to my main file.

mixed, I like to have everything together for export, printing and so
on.

I don't use remember.

Not really necessary, because org can calculate time spans and you can
easily insert timestamps with times.

Having discovered org-mode in the NEWS section of emacs-22 certainly
changed the way I use emacs, thanks Carsten!
And of course being able to link everything (including emails, pdfs,
tex-files) into one file results in a nice workflow.
