Subject: Adding Quick Notes in Org-mode Agenda View Inserts then In Drawer in Reverse Order
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2021 22:20:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <r50r8fczvh7gb8.fsf@38f9d365627a.ant.amazon.com> (raw)
Hello.
I use org-agenda frequently for getting an overview of my work. I
clock-in when I start working on something. I often find myself needing
to add a note to the task I am working on. To do that from the Agenda
view, I run org-agenda-add-note. I add typical notes like what my
findings are, anything I did related to the task, but it is nothing
related to notes about why the task changed status (at least not always).
However, I do have in my config
(setq org-log-into-drawer t)
which should add clocking into my LOGBOOK drawer by default. I
discovered however that org-mode adds my notes in the LOGBOOK drawer. I
am not sure why, but it appears that these notes are considered "status
notes" (?) and thus by org-log-into-drawer documentation are logged into
the drawer. I am not certain if this is correct.
This setup, works fine except for two cases:
a. When I want to export my notes to HTML, exporters will ignore the
LOGBOOK, and I would like to export my notes.
b. Notes are ordered in reverse: newer notes are put first.
Because of this behavior, I suspect that I am hijacking the notion of
"status change notes" and using them as notes.
My questions are:
1. Am I using the notes correctly in org?
2. If not, what is equivalence of adding quick notes into a task
(ideally, with time stamp of sort)?
3. If yes, then how can I work around the limitations (a) and (b)?
