I don't really use priorities at all, since I'm using org-mode to do GTD. If something has to be done today, then that's a deadline, not a priority. If I don't need or want to get something done /in the next week/, it probably shouldn't be crowding up my todo-lists at all, and making it harder for me to find things I should be doing; it should be on my someday/maybe list. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
