[others will recommend date trees instead.] i like this type of discussion as we have had few of them in the last 8 years or so and there is much insight for usage and even fodder for better features or refactoring, i think. gtd is too labor-intensive for myself, but others will suggest reading materials if you think it fits. org is flexible so it's really a toolkit for figuring out your own structures. i'd suggest not getting too fancy at first because yagni sometimes applies. === i find it useful to think of my org forest as an ontology of representations of preferably physical objects that become canonical locations in it. thus, your washer is one holon [subtree] and you always know where to refile to for it. then you don't need tags as much; you can use org id links to make the forest a digraph. location determines identity. this is in contrast to, for example "stuff to do for maintenance". -- The Kafka Pandemic What is misopathy? https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2013/10/why-some-diseases-are-wronged.html
