So I assume you've got this: - project.org - courseX - covered topics (unsure about this one; not necessary) - topic 1 - task related to topic 1 Either you are OK with this level of headings (I would not care) or you have many different possibilities. 1. Additional Org-mode file(s): see other answers 2. Usage of flat hierarchy - project.org - non-educational - courseX - courseX notes 3. Usage of tags - project.org - X :non-educational: - course material :courseX: - course topics :courseX: - course notes :courseX: Or you can use a combination of these methods or additional methods which do not come to my mind for now. -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
