    • Chris mentioned that they changed their org-mode configuration inspired

    by the chat from our
    first episode
    to incorporate a priorities-based workflow.
    Maybe you want to look at Chris's updated org-mode configuration!
    It looks like so:

    ;; (c) 2018 by Christopher Lemmer Webber
    ;; Under GPLv3 or later as published by the FSF
    ;; We want the lowest and "default" priority to be D. That way
    ;; when we calculate the agenda, any task that isn't specifically
    ;; marked with a priority or SCHEDULED/DEADLINE won't show up.
    (setq org-default-priority ?D)
    (setq org-lowest-priority ?D)
    ;; Custom agenda dispatch commands which allow you to look at
    ;; priorities while still being able to see when deadlines, appointments
    ;; are coming up. Very often you'll just be looking at the A or B tasks,
    ;; and when you clear off enough of those or have some time you might
    ;; look also at the C tasks
    ;;
    ;; Hit "C-c a" then one of the following key sequences...
    ;; - a for the A priority items, plus the agenda below it
    ;; - b for A-B priority items, plus the agenda below it
    ;; - c for A-C priority items, plus the agenda below it
    ;; - A for just the agenda
    ;; - t for just the A-C priority TODOs
    (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
    '(("a" "Agenda plus A items"
    ((tags-todo
    "+PRIORITY=\"A\""
    ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down))))
    (agenda "")))
    ("b" "Agenda plus A+B items"
    ((tags-todo
    "+PRIORITY=\"A\"|+PRIORITY=\"B\""
    ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down))))
    (agenda "")))
    ("c" "Agenda plus A+B+C items"
    ((tags-todo
    "+PRIORITY=\"A\"|+PRIORITY=\"B\"|+PRIORITY=\"C\""
    ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down))))
    (agenda "")))
    ("A" "Agenda"
    ((agenda "")))
    ("t" "Just TODO items"
    ((tags-todo
    "+PRIORITY=\"A\"|+PRIORITY=\"B\"|+PRIORITY=\"C\""
    ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down))))))))
