My current setup is as follows= : client-projects.org I keep all paid projects for clients in one big file. I used to keep them in a file for each client until one of them noticed that their name was being pushed to github in my agenda files. studio-projects.org This file holds all internal projects for my studio. Paintings, drawings, administrative tasks, repair and studio related research materials. home-projects.org Just that. Anything related to the house, cars, wife, kid, dogs, etc. notes.org I use this file for random thoughts and information I find online. mind.org How to explain this one? When I find information that I want to act on in the future as R&D I throw it into mind.org and give it a todo status. Usually stuff in here pertains to things I don't understand and want to spend time learning. Hence the name. phone.org When on client calls I take notes in the phone file which later gets refile= d to their respective places calendar.org This is synced using Doug Hellmann's ical2org python script. I have a cron set to sync it every hour so that my google calendar updates my org file. I have todochiku installed to notify me via growl of appointments. I may go back to having a single org file for each client. Right now I hav= e about 20 projects in that file with long lists and I'm struggling a little with keeping it organized enough that I don't lose track of projects. Beyond this setup, every hour a cron syncs my org files to a private mercurial repository at bitbucket. =E2=80=94 Greg --e0cb4e887a61c0603e0484b345e2 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable My process has gone through some revisions. =C2=A0My current setup is as fo= llows:
