You might also consider defining a custom agenda view and using bulk
actions to archive done tasks into an archive file.
I've customized org-agenda-custom-commands to show me done tasks from
my org-agenda-files (I'm not sure what this would look like outside
customize):
,----
| '(org-agenda-custom-commands
| (quote (
| ("u" "View unscheduled tasks" todo ""
((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t)))
| ("vd" "View DONE Tasks" ((todo "DONE" nil)) nil nil)
| ("vf" "View DEFER Tasks" ((todo "DEFER" nil)) nil nil)
| ("vs" "View STARTED Tasks" ((todo "STARTED" nil)) nil nil)
| ("vx" "View Stuck Tasks" ((stuck "" nil)) nil nil))))
`----
Call up DONE tasks with =C-c a v d= and then mark them all with =m=.
This is a good opportunity to review how productive you were for the
day! Pat yourself on the back. Then press =B $= to send tasks from
`example.org` to `example.org_archive` (there will be a prompt in the
mini-buffer).
