I second that, with the exception that I use something else this way (I cannot tell what on this list;-)), and one of the reminders in that-other-thing is "check the agenda for today before 12:00 am" (and I usually do it much earlier). As soon as I find some time to integrate this-other-thing with Org-mode, I might as well go the check-the-agenda-every-hour route. > If you're someone who restarts Emacs each morning, you could put a call > to `org-agenda' in your init file.

I used to do that, too, but (1) sometimes I started Emacs when e.g. making a presentation and having my laptop attached to an overhead projector and (2) some time ago I almost stopped "restarting Emacs", I just have it open all the time (well, I /did/ restart it sometimes, say, once a week or two). > Eric Hth, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University
