* Org mode
+** Agenda & GTD
+[[https://emacs.cafe/emacs/orgmode/gtd/2017/06/30/orgmode-gtd.html][Here's a good reference for setting up gtd in org mode]]
+
+Tell org where to find my stuff
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-life-dir "~/Documents/life/"
+ org-life-inbox (concat org-life-dir "inbox.org")
+ org-life-main (concat org-life-dir "life.org")
+ org-life-tickler (concat org-life-dir "tickler.org")
+ org-life-someday (concat org-life-dir "someday.org")
+ org-life-archive (concat org-life-dir "archive.org"))
+#+end_src
+
+Which files should be included in the agenda (I have to use ~list~ to evaluate the variables, because org-agenda-files expects strings):
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-agenda-files (list org-life-main
+ org-life-inbox
+ org-life-tickler))
+#+end_src
+
+Templates for quick capture:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-capture-templates `(("t" "Todo [inbox]" entry
+ (file+headline ,org-life-inbox "Tasks")
+ "* TODO %i%?")
+ ("T" "Tickler" entry
+ (file+headline ,org-life-tickler "Tickler")
+ "* %i%? \n %U")))
+#+end_src
+
+Where I want to be able to move stuff:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-refile-targets `((,org-life-main :maxlevel . 3)
+ (,org-life-someday :level . 1)
+ (,org-life-tickler :maxlevel . 2)))
+#+end_src
+
+Include the destination file as an element in the path to a heading, and to use the full paths as completion targets rather than just the heading text itself:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-refile-use-outline-path 'file)
+#+end_src
+
+Tell Org that you don’t want to complete in steps; you want Org to generate all of the possible completions and present them at once (necessary for Helm/Ivy):
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)
+#+end_src
+
+Allow me to tack new heading names onto the end of my outline path, and if I am asking to create new ones, make me confirm it:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes 'confirm)
+#+end_src
+
+Todo keywords based on the GTD system (pipe separates incomplete from complete):
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-todo-keywords '("TODO(t)" "NEXT(n)" "WAITING(w)" "SOMEDAY(s)" "PROJECT(p)"
+ "|" "DONE(d)" "CANCELLED(c)"))
+#+end_src
+
+Create custom agenda views:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("w" todo "WAITING" nil)
+ ("n" todo "NEXT" nil)
+ ("d" "Agenda + Next Actions"
+ ((agenda)
+ (todo "NEXT")))))
+#+end_src
+
+Convenience function to make opening the main file faster:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (defun gtd () (interactive) (find-file org-life-main))
+#+end_src
+
+I want to log into the LOGBOOK drawer (useful when I want to take quick notes):
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-log-into-drawer "LOGBOOK")
+#+end_src
+
+I want to archive to a specific file, in a date tree:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-archive-location (concat org-life-archive "::datetree/"))
+#+end_src
+
+I also want to log when I finish a task (useful for archiving):
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-log-done 'time)
+#+end_src
+
