case this email isn't really useful--but, in the extremely unlikely event that you don't, I thought I'd note how this becomes a non-issue if you organize your work in the following way: * My main project outline ** TODO do something ** NEXT do this SCHEDULED: <2007-07-12 Thu> ** do something else
Thanks for the suggestion, I can see how this structure might be better suited for this sort of thing, and I do structure much of my org-file like this, though I hadn't thought of using a NEXT keyword.
I think my problem is that I sometimes find myself torn between outlines and lists/checkboxes. Lists/checkboxes have some advantages over outlines, though outlines are obviously more powerful. I find I tend to use lists/checkboxes for smaller tasks which are best done in sequence, and where I want to track the % of progress. Is this possible with outlines?
e.g. 1. [X] Do this first 2. [X] Do this second 3. [ ] Do this collection of tasks third but in any order [66%] - [X] foo - [ ] bar - [X] baz 4. [ ] Do this fourthI might well take your suggestions on board though and see how I get on. This said I can still think of situations where I might want follow-mode in the agenda to move the point directly to a bookmarked\tagged jump-point within an outline. For example, I often write quite extensive notes within an outline heading, and sometimes it might be nice to jump straight to where you were editing.
