Re: [Orgmode] PATCH: include in-progress/started todos into daily agenda

Hi Max,

after thinking this through, I believe it is more  consistent not to
implement your patch, because for my feeling it changes the logic of
agenda and todo lists in a slightly confusing way.

Instead, I will try to invite you to keep your INPROGRESS items
scheduled, by implementing the following change (proposed by John):

In 5.12 there will be a new variable `org-agenda-scheduled-leaders' that
determines the leading string of a scheduled item in the agenda display.

If you customize

   (setq org-agenda-scheduled-leaders '("Start: " "Cont:  "))

then your INPROGRESS item will look like  this:

Work:  Start: TODO This task is scheduled for today
Work:  Cont:  INPROGRESS task was scheduled in past, not DONE.

Maybe less distressing than Sched: 15x ?

Many thanks for your input, great that you produced a patch, sorry
for not using it.

- Carsten

I had always used the day/weekly/mothly agenda vs the searchable
agenda separately and sometimes missed things because they were in one
list but not another.  For example when looking into a tags based
agenda for :computer, I may have missed some other item that was
scheduled for today but not tagged with computer, and via versa.

The method described in the post titled "Not using GTD" post, where
only the daily agenda is the primary agenda used solves this problem,
but I don't like to schedule/reschedule my items all the time.

So inspired by the "Not using GTD" post, proposed patch allows
specifying a TODO type that would always be included into daily
agenda on a current day, as if it was scheduled.

So one can just mark items that need to be worked on doing the day as
lets say "INPROGRESS" and they would stay in the daily agenda
alongside/intermixed with the items scheduled for today until you
close them. If you like to postpone the item, you put it as TODO
again, and it would disappear.

Proposed patch is as plain text below, feel free to rewrite/change
as the method I've used may not have been optimal.

Regards,
  Max
