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) ???
