categories.

If you are starting out, my recommendation would be to fit/think (or
re-fit/re-think) your personal workflow in terms of tags rather than
categories.

The key principle is tags to headline/task association is dynamic while
tags to category association is persistent.

I suggest one file for each with a FILETAG attached to them. It might
help you to define some sequence and specialized TODO keywords.

Have zero tags to begin with and limit your tags as much as possible.
