Subject: Useful Org Agenda Function: Add "Today" to event
Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2016 07:50:45 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mvhp7vey.fsf@torysa-worldsendless.byu.edu> (raw)
My regular org workflow often sees me having unfinished tasks
during a day (be it an email request, a phone call, a
long-standing one-off, etc). In these cases I find it useful to
add a timestamp for "today" to the item so that I still have
original scheduling/deadline information, but it shows up on
today's daily view. This is especially handy since timestamp
entries can be stacked without interfering with each other, so I
can keep a record of all past instances as well. I have this
working fine for me via a keyboard macro to be used in agenda
mode, which goes to the org file of the event, moves to the
heading, moves down a couple lines, and inserts the deadline, and
returns. Certainly a non-macro way would be fine here, but this
was the easiest and fastest for me and meets my
needs. Improvements are welcome! Otherwise, hopefully this
function is useful. (Please let me know if some other function
already does this)
