It will take a while to get my head around = how to accomplish certain things in org mode but for the moment I am = intrigued by *why* one would want to approach the problem of organizing = one's research with org mode and in which way.=20 Are you putting exclusively your todos in, well, your todo file and = perhaps keep project-related things, such as data and progress, notes, = ideas etc. somewhere else? Or do you embed your notes and todos within = their original context, i.e. is org mode your one-stop solution for data = management? Do you maintain a separate file for every major project you = are responsible for or involved in or throw everything into one or few = humungous files and differentiate using hierarchies and tags?=20 In the past I have hit some road blocks not so much with other softwares = but rather concepts such as GTD, which I think is tailored to the needs = of people outside science, so I would deeply appreciate your views and = experience. If this list is geared towards the proximate aspects of development and = less towards philosophy of usage, I apologize Christoph=
