I have a similar approach. I consider the file system and org files to be the initial 'structure' and have many smaller files rather than a couple of very large ones. Only a subset of files play a role in the agenda (I'm still experimenting with two different approaches for this - one uses a couple of functions which can dynamically change the agenda list and the other uses a naming convention which is used as the basis of a search to determine what is included in the agenda. Final rsult will likely be a combination). My use pattern also constantly evolves as my requirements and priorities change. It is and probably always will be, a work in progress! -- Tim Cross
