Gary replied:
Hi Tory; I don't think checkboxes (- [ ]) are the same as todo items.
They don't show up with C-c / t or in the global TODO list, you can't use
regular todo workflows.
Tory:
Ah; Yeah, you're right. You have a different work flow than I do with
TODO items. What's your reason for not using TODO items themselves?
Gary:
My reason for not using TODO is just that it'd be ugly and confusing to
put a heading in the middle of a list.
Compare this:
* Meeting report
** Meeting 1
- a thing that happened
- another thing that happened
- TODO: email everyone about all the things
- some more things that happened
to this:
* Meeting report
** Meeting 1
- a thing that happened
- another thing that happened
***TODO: email everyone about all the things
- some more things that happened
Tory:
Perfect sense; yeah, TODO headers have a tendency to clobber later stuff,
and list stuff doesn't make it into the workflow. Makes good sense.
