I've another view on this subject -- but I've to be honest at this early stage: *I currently have no solution that completely satisfies me*. I really am puzzled by using a "TODO state" for saying "this is a note". For me, a so-called TODO state is a circumstance (or a mode), so one transitional property on a cycle. That's something that evolves over time, such as: TODO -> NEXT -> STARTED -> WAITING -> DONE A NOTE does not belong to such cycles. It's just some kind of "property". I would be more inclined to view a NOTE "property" as a tag, but that does = not satisfy me neither. Tags are for contexts, mainly resources we need to have= at hand, or locations we need to be, or time ranges in which the action makes sense. Maybe it should be a real PROPERTY? Anyway, as I don't have the solution y= et, I don't have yet a proper way to mark my notes as NOTES... I hope others can share their views on this?
