Hi,
I am curious about how people organize a project and its sub-tasks. For
example, say building a website. Do you make the task a TODO task and
then have TODO tasks under it? I don't like that the project appears in
my org-agenda as a separate thing along with its sub-tasks. How do you
handle this?
Best,
--

Depends.
For some projects, I have a single TODO entry but with [/] on the
headline and then with checklist items. For other projects, especially
long ones, I have individual TODO items in a project file but that file
is not one of the agenda files so they do not clutter up my agenda.

Yes, having projects in the agenda is annoying. I use the philosophy from
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html where any task with subtasks is a
project. Stuck projects are those with no next action.
I have several projects which have many nested sub projects in them.
Prior to org mode, I tried so many apps to get this basic feature, but not
many are this malleable and still easy to use.
Thanks and have a good day!
Bala

i have long thought it would be useful to dim entries in the agenda
that are ancestors of entries in the same agenda view. regardless of
sort order. similar to dim blocked.

Does anybody have thoughts on using a PROJECT todo keyword (in a different
sequence set from the TODO NEXT one)?
