This is a very good point. My appointments do not currently have links to the related projects (the "database of trust" is the calendar one, which is caldav outside of emacs… maybe I should change that, but I need to synchronize my calendar with my phone). So I currently add the links manually. I'll have to think about this. Best, Alan signature.asc Description: PGP signature

This is most useful, thanks a lot! This should be more than sufficient for my needs. Best, Alan signature.asc Description: PGP signature

But I really don't know if that's the Right Thing to do or not. I am also not someone who uses one of these "daily journal" workflows, so I can't help but wonder how you link these daily notes back to the underlying project that generated the event on the agenda in the first place. Becasue in my mind, I would jump from the agenda to the underlying project or task and be making my notes in there directly. Those linking considerations, in my mind anyway, would really dictate the rest of the workflow. Cheers, TRS-80
