By the way I have completely switched all action management to my database system with tabulated list mode. No more using Org for action management, only for document, not even short notes. Access to notes by relevance search by using PostgreSQL full text search is so much more logical personally. Computer performs search but as database is more compact it does not search over all files. Things are easily reordered rather then refiled. Key bindings for majority of actions are way shorter as tabulated list mode is not editing mode. - tasks can be assigned to one among 200,000+ people in the database, and I need not take care how their names are written and if I will lose a task because I made a type in writing their names. Person is rather selected and computer thinks what is their unique ID, not name. - listing tasks assigned to specific person or group of people is quick and easy, related to person or group is quick or easy. - daily list of pending tasks can be sent by email automatically, list of completed tasks can be sent. Task as such can be sent with one or two keys pressed without me thinking as all related objects are integrated (email address of assignee is already known). - I need not keep one list of assignees in one file, other list in other file, etc. I can list all asignees straight with one key or see actions assigned to them. - and I do not write subordinate tasks as TODO any more, that makes no sense. There is one senior section on what subject, project or objective has to be fullfiled and those subordinate tasks which are not marked with TODO repetitevely can be marked as redundant or superfluous, purposeless when senior objective have been completed. This means they are not done as there is no need to get something done if objective have been fullfiled. Org mode have imposed reverse on users where for example a list of items is only then completed as DONE when subordinate tasks have been completed as DONE, which makes users lie to themselves as they will then "complete" the task which is not complete because it is purposeless only to complete the senior task as DONE. And I think it is possible for anybody regardless of programming skill level to make one's own system of management of tasks within less than a week that will get more aligned to personal individualized way of handling tasks, then trying to accommodate personal needs to software that may have gone one completly wrong direction. Software is there to help the human, not human to help the software.
