## 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

## 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).

## 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. ;-)

+At least five years, I don't know exactly how long.
## What about delegated actions of a project? Do they get moved to the delegated heading and moved back to the project when finished?
-
-They stay where they are, because they belong to the project. Org-edna will automatically mark it as NEXT when its time comes. The user can mark it as WAIT easily through the agenda. I would like an org-gtd command to queue up "mark as WAIT", "add the DELEGATED\_TO property", and "schedule a check-in time", but I haven't yet done the research to figure out a clean integration of such a custom action with the agenda view.

## Are you only using linear next-task-method or do you use org-edna to mark tasks even in other projects as NEXT?
-
-Currently I only use linear next-task-method, for two reasons. One is a technical reason, another one is part of my current approach to GTD:
-- I haven't yet had a reason to consider that, say, a project might block another project, or that an action might block a project - possibly I haven't tried to do complex enough things in my life yet, and so I've always been able to simplify what I had to do into linear projects, even if it was a simple linear project with a last task of "create a new project based on what I've learned"
-- I have zero idea of how I would intelligently display this, yet, so I've stayed away from this. Contrary to most personal projects I've worked on, this one has "ease of use" front and center, so before implementing something like this, I'd need to know how to properly represent this: if possible, in the agenda view, and if not, I guess it would be in a HUD I would create for the package.

## How do you make use of incubated items? Do they show up in the agenda for the whole day? That would be distracting, I guess.
+I have a block of time, every morning, dedicated to processing the
+inbox and seeing what's on my plate for the day. I would use this time
+to decide what to do with the incubated item: incubate it again, make
+it into a project, discard it, etc. My "incubate" file has a bunch of

## Does it not consume more resources and time to load multiple files than a large file of the same contents?
-
Dealing with hiding contents is computationally expensive.
-- I doubt it is correct. Emacs display engine is quite effective dealing with invisible text. Moving cursor around is affected, but I never heard (and never experienced) issues with scrolling on large (2Mb) org files.
-
- - Actually, Org currently uses overlays to hide text, and the overhead of the overlays does eventually add up. There's a working branch that uses text-properties instead, and it may be merged to Org someday.
-
- - It is on the way ;) I need more feedback (see help request in <https://updates.orgmode.org/>)
-
- - If I ever have time to even get my Org upgraded to the latest version, maybe I can think about trying to test that ;)
-
- - Would it help to share the branch on github?
-
- - It would probably make it easier to use and more visible, so&#x2026;maybe? :)
-
- - Noted (or rather captured) (using org-mode right? :) Indeed
-
- - Karl: whenever I had severe performance issues and somebody was nice and helped to analyze the issue, "overlays" were the root cause in probably 90% of the cases. However, an average user (including me) does not know if a specific feature is implemented using overlays or not. My Org life is basically try and error ;-)
-
- - FYI, if you use org-indent-mode (or whatever the name is of the mode that uses overlays to indent contents), you could disable that to reduce the number of overlays in a buffer. &#x2013;alphapapa
-
- - Karl: thanks a bunch. However, some features are delivering important features to me so that I do have to accept the performance overhead to a certain level. That's a difficult trade-off I do have to make from time to time ;-)

+ never heard (and never experienced) issues with scrolling on large
+ (2Mb) org files.
+ - Actually, Org currently uses overlays to hide text, and the
+ overhead of the overlays does eventually add up. There's a
+ working branch that uses text-properties instead, and it may be
+ merged to Org someday.
+ - It is on the way ;) I need more feedback (see help request in
+ <https://updates.orgmode.org/>).
+ - If I ever have time to even get my Org upgraded to the latest
+ version, maybe I can think about trying to test that ;)
+ - Would it help to share the branch on GitHub?
+ - It would probably make it easier to use and more visible,
+ so&#x2026;maybe? :)
+ - Noted (or rather captured) (using org-mode right? :)
+ Indeed.
+ - Karl: whenever I had severe performance issues and somebody was
+ nice and helped to analyze the issue, "overlays" were the root
+ cause in probably 90% of the cases. However, an average user
+ (including me) does not know if a specific feature is implemented
+ using overlays or not. My Org life is basically try and error ;-)
+ - alphapapa: FYI, if you use org-indent-mode (or whatever the name
+ is of the mode that uses overlays to indent contents), you could
+ disable that to reduce the number of overlays in a
+ buffer.
+ - Karl: thanks a bunch. However, some features are delivering
+ important features to me so that I do have to accept the
+ performance overhead to a certain level. That's a difficult
+ trade-off I do have to make from time to time ;-)
## Doesn't using many small org file clutter up your buffer list when generating agenda etc?
-
-Personally, I limit org agend to just a few files while keeping notes in many more.

# Questions

## Have you looked into trying SageMath? I've long wanted to use SageMath in Org files.
-
-If you can use it from the command line, you could use it in org mode using what we are working on. -RSP

## I can use SageMath from the command line, but not using one of the Emacs shells.
-
-As Joe is now explaining, our ob-servant code should then make it accessible from within org mode.
