Things from remember only go into my Inbox.org, which I manually process into my Projects.org. > So what is the way you do ?

I did use it for recurring appointments and such, but org supports those natively now. > Optionnal question: does anybody successfully use org-mode and GTD ? Yes, mostly. I'm very successful with it at work; not so much at home, but that is a motivational problem, not an organizational one, and GTD is not a motivational system. I'm working on a detailed whitepaper on my org-mode/GTD usage, but it's not my highest priority right now. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
