Re: Manage and display personal milestones

["Alex Rudyk" <alex.rudyk@gmail.com>]

Hi Bastien,

I have milestone as part of my org-todo-keywords sequence variable.

My org system is more close to Stephen Covey 3rd habit approach, so I am 
using week planning,
week and master goals setting. And now I am tring to create some mechanism 
that give me highlevel
view of my life planning. So I have created a roadmap.org file where I wrote 
my one-three months plan of my life.

In this file I have MILESTONE headlines as major events of my plans for 
different focus area. What I like to have
is the list of neareset milestones sorted by date. For example

Managemnt:    MILESTONE: Bla bla bla bla
                       Deadline: <12/23/07>
Study:             MILESTONE: Bla bla bla bla
                      Deadline: <12/31/07>
Study:             MILESTONE: la la la la :)
                      Deadline: <01/10/08>
................................

Now I am thinking that your idea to use tags for marking milestone is more 
convinient.
But using properties for this might be a more complecated that tags.

So the main questions is how to get agenda list similar above (with tags 
approach to mark milestone headlines) ???

Thx
