Hi everybody!

I use these files:

org2010.org:

- This is the file where I insert all my tasks and projects.
- It is divided by these topics:

* GTD Inbox
* Work
* Personal
* Agenda
** Appointments
** Bills
* Summary
** Estimated Hours
** Worked Hours

- At GTD Inbox, I collect all my new tasks and projects by using  
org-remember. In my weekly review, I file them at appropriate section.
- Work and Personal is where I file my tasks and projects and give them  
tags. This helps me filter within agenda view.
- I clock every task I am doing to get my working hours summary.
- Sometimes I use the archive feature to get rid of done tasks and  
finished projects to a separated file.

notes.org

- This is a file where I collect everything that I want to take note and  
file for reference. This is used along with org-remember.
- It is divided by four topics:

* Ideas
* Jornal
* Phone Calls
* General Notes

I also have lots of other files that I fill in with notes. Every note has  
a title with "*" and text body. All the files have a name that starts with  
"nt_". I do not look at them very often, so I don't mind to have lots of  
note files. I use Google Desktop or grep to search information in them  
when I need it. These notes file vary a lot, for example, I have a  
nt_windows.txt file that has notes about windows tips and tricks I  
collected over time.

So far, this setup is working perfectly and I am able to track all my  
projects and tasks. Thanks to orgmode!

Bye!
