There is, actually.
It's quite simple: capture all the tasks into the proper place right away,
instead of dumping them into one place and sorting out later.
Firstly, there's capturing into project.
A project is just a heading at gtd.org/Projects/project-name.
Once a task is in a project, there's rarely any need to refile it.
I tag each task with the project tag anyway, just in case.
The project setup is a list entry like this:
'("TINY" "y" "tiny.el")
That's the tag, key binding and heading name. I push this data into
`org-capture-templates`.
Now I can capture into project gtd.org/Projects/tiny.el with "C-- y".
Secondly, there's a special capture for pdf files, I've posted it on
the list before.
Thirdly, there are captures from `org-protocol`. I have this setup:
(setq org-protocol-default-template-key "l")
(push '("l" "Link" entry (function org-handle-link)
"* TODO %(org-wash-link)\nAdded: %U\n%(org-link-hooks)\n%?")
org-capture-templates)
`org-handle-link` will distinguish:
1. Links for StackOverflow questions, putting them in wiki/stack.org/Questions.
2. Links to YouTube, downloading the video with `youtube-dl` and including both
the link to the original and the downloaded videos in the captured item.
I highly recommend `youtube-dl`: watching videos in vlc compared to firefox
is like editing in Emacs compared to gedit:)
3. All the rest will be dumped into ent.org/Articles.
`org-wash-link` currently just strips the unnecessary " - Stack
Overflow" from the link description, since the task is already in
wiki/stack.org/Questions. It's possible to add other rules per website
of course.
Hopefully some of the described tricks are useful.
I can post the code on github if anyone's interested in the details.
regards,
Oleh
