FWIW, I've found it quite convenient to rely on filetags to organize
my notes. I've written a few functions that allow me to limit my
agenda to a subset of agenda files that share a filetag (e.g.,
"emacs" or "writing"). This is a bit quicker than calling agenda
commands on all agenda files and then filtering afterward. It also
allows for greater focus on a particular area of work. Here are the
functions:

Hi Matt,
this is very interesting!
One idea: Instead of setting the value of org-agenda-files,
you can also restrict in the following way:
(org-agenda-remove-restriction-lock)
(put 'org-agenda-files 'org-restrict my-file-list)
(setq org-agenda-overriding-restriction 'files)
The restriction sticks until you remove it with `C-c C_x >'
I am not sure this will work better for your case - but maybe it
will.
Thanks for the tip! That's much more elegant.
I find that (org-agenda-restriction-lock) makes subsequent calls to
my-org-agenda-files-by-filetag slow, since it refreshes the current
agenda.
Are there any potential pitfalls if I use (setq org-agenda-restrict
nil)
instead?
I think you might mean org-agenda-remove-restriction-lock?
That function does some cleanup which I think you should keep,
so maybe just call it like this:
(org-agenda-remove-restriction-lock 'noupdate)
Otherwise, while you are inside your system, (setq org-agenda-restrict
nil)
is enough - only when you mix the normal subtree/file restriction with
you system, you may get funny effects.
