By the way I have completely switched all action management to my
database system with tabulated list mode. No more using Org for action
management, only for document, not even short notes. Access to notes
by relevance search by using PostgreSQL full text search is so much
more logical personally. Computer performs search but as database is
more compact it does not search over all files. Things are easily
reordered rather then refiled. Key bindings for majority of actions
are way shorter as tabulated list mode is not editing mode.
- tasks can be assigned to one among 200,000+ people in the database,
and I need not take care how their names are written and if I will
lose a task because I made a type in writing their names. Person is
rather selected and computer thinks what is their unique ID, not
name.
- listing tasks assigned to specific person or group of people is
quick and easy, related to person or group is quick or easy.
- daily list of pending tasks can be sent by email automatically, list
of completed tasks can be sent. Task as such can be sent with one or
two keys pressed without me thinking as all related objects are
integrated (email address of assignee is already known).
- I need not keep one list of assignees in one file, other list in
other file, etc. I can list all asignees straight with one key or
see actions assigned to them.
- and I do not write subordinate tasks as TODO any more, that makes no
sense. There is one senior section on what subject, project or
objective has to be fullfiled and those subordinate tasks which are
not marked with TODO repetitevely can be marked as redundant or
superfluous, purposeless when senior objective have been
completed. This means they are not done as there is no need to get
something done if objective have been fullfiled. Org mode have
imposed reverse on users where for example a list of items is only
then completed as DONE when subordinate tasks have been completed as
DONE, which makes users lie to themselves as they will then
"complete" the task which is not complete because it is purposeless
only to complete the senior task as DONE.
And I think it is possible for anybody regardless of programming skill
level to make one's own system of management of tasks within less than
a week that will get more aligned to personal individualized way of
handling tasks, then trying to accommodate personal needs to software
that may have gone one completly wrong direction.
Software is there to help the human, not human to help the software.
