I also like to keep the historical info, but in order to keep my tasks.org file clean (and save some time while building the agenda) I keep it in a separate file. Probably the simplest way is something like this: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq org-archive-location "~/org/archive.org::") #+END_SRC Now when you do not want to see something anymore, you can press C-c C-x C-a from the org file or the agenda to move the item to the archive.org file. Check the documentation of org-archive-location or (info "(org) Archiving") for more details. Best, -- Jorge.
