I am still working on making orgmode a more usefull tool for me :), how do you guys handle this problem: I schedule and reschedule tasks pretty often. (Thats why I, too, think a history of scheduling would be a nice addition to have.). Whenever a task comes up, I schedule it for some day in the future and handle it when it appears in my agenda. However, I try to keep a balance of several aspects in my life, mainly - "duties" like vacuum the flat - "studium" everything related to work at university - "fun" like reading a book, watching a dvd etc. and - "sports": get in shape ;) Okay, as I frequently schedule and reschedule, I work from my agenda to keep these aspects of my life in a certain balance I predefined: studium: at least 6 hours a day, fun (I really need to make some place for it) at least 1 hour a day etc. So, as I added Efforts and Tags to each item, it would be very convenient to keep scheduling, then filter the agenda for certain aspects to get a feeling, if I keep my personal balance up on this specific day. However, using ColumnView on a filtered agenda, say "show me only my 'duties'", does not summarize the filtered agenda items, but everything, id est even everything that is hidden. I understand this is due to how filtering and columnview works, but Has anyone an idea/workflow how I can work on this? I tried to lock myself up into fixed times, repeating items etc. but I am not that kind of person: A new day, I want to know whats up, but I also want to stay free enough to shape things according to my (day) taste. I rather do a daily (each morning) and a weekly review and reschedule accordingly. I am a student, so I (still) have the possibility to do so; and I would like to keep it that way, but nevertheless want to have an eye on the general tendency, the balance of the several "aspects" I want to keep. I hope this is clear enough, Thanks for any suggestions! Memnon
