Hi list,

  Is there any way to specify a category in which the note will be
  stored when using remember ?

  What I want to define is:

  1. Start remeber
  2. Pick a category
  3. write down a title and a description
  4. Store the note (scheduled for today - so I can view it with C-a a)

  I couldn't find anything usefull in the docs.

Regards,
Cezar

I do this in reverse.  I have a separate remember template per org file
I want so I do 

 C-M-r (pick remember template key)
 Enter details
 C-c C-c store the note to * Tasks in the file I selected
 C-u C-u C-M-r to get back to the note I just filed then
 C-c C-w to refile it to whatever task is appropriate

With the latest development version of org-mode you can start the clock
in the initial remember buffer and keep it running as you file and
refile the task.  In that case you can also use org-clock-goto to find
the task back easily.

You can set up templates for org-remember but I find the location I want
to file things changes too much to have static templates with fixed
locations.  Your mileage may vary.  My default remember templates file
to the * Tasks generic task in each file then I just refile it to the
right place depending on its content.

HTH,
Bernt

I tend to think we are taking the wrong approach.

I've tried using TAGS intead of categories and I think it actually makes
more sense. Also you can have tags in remember templates. Any thoughts ?
