Something I do alot of is have Org Capture templates as files. This lets me
write a more complex capture template (in my case for one of several
“roles” that I take on ad-hoc but recurring basis during meetings).
I call the template with an entry like the following in
org-capture-templates.
("Mg" "Grammarian"
entry
(file+headline "~/Documents/OrgMaster/org/Toastmasters.org" "Miscellaneous
and Non-Goal roles 2015")
(file "~/.init/emacs/org-capture-templates/grammarian.org_template")
:jump-to-captured t :immediate-finish t)
In this specific case, it places the entry under a special pre-defined Org
heading, but I could always call org-capture with a `C-0' (zero) prefix to
insert a template at point.
I can edit the template file as things change, and it can be pretty complex
(some of my represent Projects: A header, several sub headers as tasks,
etc.).
