Hi Mirko:

I sometimes create a task from a section of may plan page's journal, too.
But in my case, I keep all such journal items in the Notes section, and I
use Remember to create these journal sections.  Then when a task is needed,
I simply use planner-create-task-from-note, while point is located in the
appropriate note.  I'm pretty sure this function is "planner-multi"-aware.
IOW, if Remember placed the note on multiple plan pages, I think
planner-create-task-from-note will create the task on  whatever plan pages
the note was written on as well as the day page for whatever date you
specify.

I think you'll enjoy using Remember.  Good luck with it!

Raymond,

thanks for the note.

Regarding task notes:

The way I work is that I write my comments and observations in the project
file.  The project file is sort of a diary and planning for that particular
project.  As I write I may decide to generate a project at that particular
point.  I then create a task.  It would be very useful if the task linked to
that particular point in the file, since that is where the contents are most
directly relevant to it.

I am not familiar with remember.  I will give it a shot.

Thanks,

Mirko

Well I don't use do sub-projects, but it sounds like a good idea.

I do what you do with tasks, associating descriptive text to them in the
form of Notes.  Since Planner puts a link to the note in the task, the
note's location isn't too important to me.  But here's where I do something
that you might want to try:

I create the note in the plan page using planner-create-note-from-task.  I
then delete the note number (.#1, for example) from the front of the note's
title.  Then I mark the note and invoke C-u M-x remember, which enables me
to copy the note to the day page and as many plan pages as I want.  (I also
use planner-multi.el, which enables me to put these notes on multiple plan
pages).

So all I use planner-create-note-from-task for is to create a hyperlink to a
note in the task item.  Then I use remember to create the note itself.  The
result is that my notes go into day pages and the appropriate plan page(s).

This is a thoroughly bizarre way to operate, but it works for me.

If you're new to Planner, you'll have to download and install Remember
separately.  AFAIK, it doesn't come packaged with Planner.  You can find out
more about Remember here:

Good luck!

Hello,

I am hoping some of you can help me improve my planner usage.  I am not
familiar with all the planner and muse modules, so some of the stuff I am
looking for may already exist.

I divide my tasks into several projects, and each project has its separate
file.  At the start of the file are the *Tasks and *Notes fields.

Typically each projects has sub-projects.  I use the outline-minor-mode in
the file to navigate among the sub-projects.

For each sub-project, I keep "diary".  Once a week, I summarize what
happened, and what I would like to do next.  These weekly entries are also
tagged with the "***" for outline mode navigation.

When I enter a create a new task, it is usually associate with some text in
the plan file.  My only solution so far has been to create a note for this
task where I discuss the purpose of the task.  Ideally, this note would be
in the appropriate location in the file, but because of limitations of(my
understanding of) planner, I have to keep them under *Notes.

The task typically takes a few days to get accomplished.  I have written a
planner-create-task-progress-note, which I use in the daily plan file to
write comments about daily activities.  Ideally, this note would also appear
in the plroject page, but I have not gotten to that.  Also, ideally, I would
be able to assemble the notes to monitor the task progress.

So, any comments regarding what existing tools are available to ease my
planner usage?  I don't mind writing some code, but would need some guidance
in terms of what features of planner and muse may prove useful in that
endevour.

Many thanks (for the planner and muse),

Mirko
