I have an accountability partner with whom I exchange daily "committed
actions." Every morning, I e-mail him a list of the tasks I commit to
completing that day.

When I complete a task, I mark it DONE. If I don't complete a task that
day, I mark it @didnotdo and manually cut and paste it to the next day.

Every night, I send him a report of which actions I did and which ones I
did not do. (I find I get so much more done since I started making daily
commitments to someone other than myself.)

My committed actions for a day consist of:

a) TODOs for the projects I'm working on
b) random errands that need to be done that day
c) daily habits (e.g. meditating, exercising)

I don't believe org-agenda can support me in doing this, because I require:

a) a way to quickly enter the random tasks for that day (without having to
"schedule" each one for today)
b) more importantly: a way to record, store, and e-mail my list of which
tasks I've done and not done at the end of the night

So instead I've been creating a list of TODOs for each day manually.

My questions:

1. Given that I'm creating my daily task list manually, is there an easy
way, when I mark a task @didnotdo, to automatically move it to the next
day's list and change its state to @todo?
2. I'd still like to be able to create outlines for my documents and add
TODO items inline as I think of them. Is there a way to get org to gather
these scattered TODOs and place them in my manually-created daily TODO
list, rather than in the agenda?

Macro question: Is there a better way to manage my accountability system,
rather than doing it manually? Again, I don't see a way to do it using
agenda.

Thanks for any help.
