Flow: - Enter your task with capture. This *is* a quick way, and you should be able to setup a binding that schedules the new task to today by default. Put the tasks wherever they should live in your org cosmos. - At the beginning of the day, start your agenda for today. Copy and paste it, export it to html, whatever. Send it to your college. - Work through your tasks. If you can't finish a task, don't mark it didnotdo, but simple reschedule it for tomorrow; the change will be reflected in your log drawer. - At the end of the day, or early next day, start the agenda and use org-agenda-log-mode, probably with C-u. - `C-u l' should show you all there is, given it is properly configured: Task you finished, tasks you did not finish and hence rescheduled for later, even your sections (teaching, habits, random tasks) can be reflected with categories. Just copy and paste it in your email and you are done. > Macro question: Is there a better way to manage my accountability > system, rather than doing it manually?
