Over the last few days I have been consolidating my GTD system, fine tuning my files and understanding some of the subtleties of the various org-mode features. My tutorial is titled "How I use Emacs and Org-mode to implement GTD" http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/gtd_workflow.html I demonstrate my use of Effort tags, column view, fast selection of TODO states, refiling and customising refile targets. I hope you find the tutorial useful, and please let me know any errors, corrections or suggestions for additional content.

Hi Charles, Nice tutorial! I just put a link up on the Worg time management page. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-gtd-etc.php My only suggestion would be to set the subtree categories with properties. E.g., --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ** Calendar :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: Calendar :END: *** Public Holidays 2009 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- According the org-mode manual, the use of multiple #+CATEGORY lines in the same file still works, but has been deprecated. http://orgmode.org/manual/Categories.html#Categories Best, Matt

Hello Charles,
Thank's for the tutorial. I had not tried remember with Org-Mode until
I read it!
I have one question - I see from the templates that you are inserting
text into the template. Is there anything special in these text files
or is it just some standard text?
Regards,
Chris.
