I haven't been using my AGENDA tag as much since I end up just sending people email anyway and therefore put a COMPUTER tag onto it. What I did discover is that putting the projects into the same file as my notes instead of a separate agenda file is working out a lot better. I now intersperse next actions into my notes only if they are not project related, but still keep everything in one file. I think I will try the same with agendas and make AGENDA a TODO type rather than a tag. Thanks for the suggestion! Alex.
