My personal information management system has evolved from David Allen's GTD, so I tend to use a todo keyword only in items that describe things I can actually do (usually very specific). When I started with org, I'd use NEXT as the todo keyword (as in "NEXT action" or "what's next"). Then, I rolled back to the classic TODO (I don't remember exactly why right now, though). I'm inclined to say that the keyword could affect the way you look at the items, somehow, at least subconsciously, in a way that one *might* be better to use than another; I might be wrong, and it might not matter at all. What do you think; and what word do you use as your TODO keyword? Cheers, - Marcelo. --e89a8f3ba699ea5a5b04c7a9b37d Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hey guys,
