Re: [O] GTD in org mode - in which project is this action ?

My first question is : should I use properties, tags , something else ?* I use properties for projects. Depending on your numbers of concurrent projects, you may want to consider separate files for each project. (IMHO less elegant for a large number of little projects, but nice for say up to ten). - *scratch.org* (for quicknotes,todos, ideas of projects, to be organized/refiled later on during the weekly review) I'd add a '* Inbox' Headline at the end of the relevant files, i.e. perso.org, research.org etc. No separate scratch file, no w/pinbox.org. 3.1.1 project description ~~ *Should I put it under another headline (description, outcome) or directly under the project's headline ? Any thoughts about this ?* Both options seem viable. * contexts (as few as possible) Use tags - :@office: - :@home: - :@errands: - :@offline: Once, I had a tag NET for things I needed to do while online. I then figured out I was online almost everywhere I actually worked, so I don't use it anymore.

Hi Clément, Clément Mayet cma...@gmail.com writes: Given an action in a project, I would like to see the action's project in the agenda view, and even better, to order actions by project (or by context, then by project). Does somebody have any hints on how to do that ? My top-level headlines are projects and they get a :CATEGORY: property. That way I can easily restrict agenda views to projects (C-c C-x in the project's headline) or filter agenda items through projects (i.e. through category) by hitting `' in the agenda view.

Re: [O] GTD in org mode - in which project is this action ?
Thank you Bastien for your quick answer. My understanding of the C-c C-x command is that you restrict the agenda view to one headline (i;e project in our case). How do you use the :CATEGORY: property then ? Do you copy the project's name in that property (or something shorter that makes you remember wich project it is) ?

Re: [O] GTD in org mode - in which project is this action ?
Thank you ! That could do the trick. However I planned to use categories (in fact file names) for the different areas (Personnal, Work, Research, Administrative). If I do as you suggest, I could probably use tags for these areas instead of category...

FWIW, I use files for areas/contexts and tags for type of actions (reading, writing, coding, buying, giving a phone call, etc.) -- Bastien
