provide 'cce/org-agenda) (
When implementing a PARA Method system
in Emacs, I struggled mostly with trying to
cohesively organize my data. I had a number of project-specific org
files for large projects, as well as a work.org
for smaller projects and my work Habits, a todo.org
for personal projects, and a number of
calendars synced in to the system through org-gcal
; I also included project directories
with a bunch of org-mode files in them like the CCE so that work could be tracked within that
project. Because my org-mode structure was heading-based1 and
I was consistently using Org's archiving functionality, this was a
pretty scalable method, and it worked out well enough for what it was
doing, over-collecting2.
My current PARA system simplifies down to a smaller number of files
so that it can fit in to the file-based model of my current PARA Method system. The goal is simply to
constrain the number of files and headings which org-agenda needs to
look in. Previously I could simply say ~/org/
is an org-agenda-file
. Now that would cause hundreds
and eventually thousands of buffers to be opened to search for
headings.
I use Dynamic and fast agendas
to define my org-agenda-files
rather than
defining a short list here, I hope it works and scales out.
My org-mode agendas can be much more simple than they have been, I think, because I've simplified my Tagging Principles and Project Management structure considerably. These pages describe the agendas I am implementing perhaps more fully than this page will, after all, this is only configuration.
