Now I have workflow I want to check = out. It's my habit to try to clear my screen of everything except the = one task I am working on (and logging) and its associated documents and = tools. I want to try to implement this in orgmode. Ideally, it would = look something like this: - select a task from the AGENDA - drill down to a view of just that task with only the task & = subordinate items visible - edit those subordinate items, especially notes - log the time I spend there - log out, save notes, change task status - return to agenda Am I missing some obvious built-in way to do this? (I find that this has = happened so often, regardless of how esoteric my objective) that I had = better ask. Or could someone help me think through how it might be done?=20= Sadly, I'm an emacs and elisp newbie, so that will be a barrier, but any = help would be most appreciated. TIA =97 Michael
