## 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).

-### 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.
+- 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?
-- This may also be relevant: <https://github.com/alphapapa/org-now>

+ - 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-\*)\`).

## 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

-### 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).

## 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. ;-)
