It's worth thinking about this point. There's a moment of freedom that
comes when you allow yourself to just dump headings into a file
willy-nilly, and *only* pick them out and examine them with the agenda.
It's a bit of a leap of faith, but I have to say it's very freeing when
you take it.
Some files are for writing novels in, and you'll want to pore over their
every line. Other files should never be looked at. You put lines in with
org-capture, and you take lines out with org-agenda. That's all they're
for.
