If I understand correctly you can set different categories for each using a subtree property :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: SomeName :END: or with #+CATEGORY: SomeName ,----[ from the manual ] | `#+CATEGORY:' | This line sets the category for the agenda file. The category | applies for all subsequent lines until the next `#+CATEGORY' line, | or the end of the file. The first such line also applies to any | entries before it. `---- I prefer to put category names in the subtree as a property in the level 1 task - all my todo items are level 2 or higher in my files and I have multiple categories per file. -Bernt
