+# Questions: - Put your questions below, most recent on top:
+
+
+## What's the advantage of copying tasks from the agenda to a separate daily plan, rather than just managing them directly within the agenda?
+
+
+### Karl Voit here: I asked Rainer the very same question and his answer was that his agenda is full with tasks. Copying them (via keyboard shortcuts) to a manually curated daily list provides a condensed daily agenda showing only the tasks he is going to do (when the day goes as planned).
+
+
+### I feel it can reduce some mental stress
+
+
+### Yes, this is it, I want to decide in the morning (I can never do all what is in the agenda) and then I'm no longer overwhelmed by that long agenda.
+
+- This may also be relevant: <https://github.com/alphapapa/org-now>
+
+
+### OK thanks - but then why not just create custom agenda views for a) building the daily list and then b) just viewing the daily list without distractions? e.g. via org-super-agenda or org-ql?
+
+- sometimes I also want to review my previous tasks I've done
+
+ - There is build-in org-agenda-log-mode (v l) to do this. One just need to make sure that the task state changes are actually logged (see \`(apropos "org-log-\*)\`).
+
+ - I suspect that could also be achieved via org-ql or similar but admit it's probably a more complex solution. Just naturally averse to anything which duplicates data and could lead to inconsistencies :)
+
+ - Exactly. It is just very easy to do it in such a format, but it can definitely be achieved by super-agenda/org-ql
+
+
+## How long does it usually take you to manage/maintain your agenda on a daily basis?+2
+
+
+### Five minutes a day.
+
+
+### Extensively uses org-capture to get thoughts down and schedule things for later — gets things out of head and saves the task for later
+
+
+### Weekly review to go through checklists — usually takes about half an hour
+
+
+## What version of Emacs and of Org do you currently use?
+
+
+### Emacs: 25.3.1
+
+
+### Orgmode version: 9.1.5
+
+
+## Do you keep Emacs open with you all day, or just when you need to add tasks or reference todos?
+
+
+### It's open all the day. Two monitor setup, Emacs is always opened on one (usually the non-main one, apparently, but moved back to the main one if necessary).
+
+
+## Where do your notes/tasks end up after you complete them (lurst asked that first on IRC)?
+
+
+### In Archives (missed some details here, sorry)
+
+
+## Do you use orgmode on a mobile device as well? If so how do you do it?
+
+
+### On the road I have a real old fashioned paper notebook with a ballpoint pen ;-)
+
+
+## How did you add the super fast typing?
+
+
+### A) I learned touch typing at school around 45 years ago,
+
+
+### B) kdenlive can accelerate video material. You need to mark it (cut it left and right) and then press SHIFT-CTRL and the Mouse to drag it, that adds the time lapse effect.
+
+
+## Do you export your Org files or Agenda files for others?
+
+
+### I once tried it at work, but it didn't work out. For me Org is a **personal** prodcutivity system and not a sort of groupware. Nevertheless, I have a ToDo keyword "DELEGATED" to monitor e.g. errands that I give to my kids.
+
+
+## Do you use emacs for everything or just a few things like time management, programming, etc.?
+
+
+### Emacs is my primary editor for shell scripts, LaTeX files, even Lilypond (remember that talk in the morning). I wrote all the LaTeX files for the book I prepared for my course in Emacs.
+
+
+## Do you keep your project notes and backup information with the To Do items in your agenda or in separate files?
+
+
+### The notes are all in the :LOGBOOK: drawer of each task. So I have a sort of "micro blog" there that clearly shows what happened with that task so far. I even see all the "RESCHEDULED on&#x2026;" timestamps which helps me to identify the tasks I procrastinate. ;-)
+
+
+### Not a question but thank you so much for your videos Rainer +1+1+1
+
+- You're welcome. What started as a "I need to show Org to a few people" turned out helpful to a lot more than I ever expected. ;-)
+
+ - These videos helped me so much! Thank you!
+
+
+# Notes
+
+
+## Showcases org-capture, org-agenda, rescheduling from the agenda
+
+
+## The idea of "The 3 most important tasks" is important to make a clear target on day to day basis
+
+
+## Just in case Rainer is not checking the IRC: lots of compliments! Also for your courses (on youtube)!!
