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! flaviosouza www.flaviosouza.net
