Using GTD with org-mode

This is a simple setup I use to run GTD org-mode in emacs. I use syncthing to keep this folder synced through my computers.

                               "* TODO %i%?")
                              ("T" "Tickler" entry

                               "* %i%? \n %U")))

(setq org-refile-targets '(("~/Sync/orgs/gtd/projects.org" :maxlevel . 3)
                           ("~/Sync/orgs/gtd/someday.org" :level . 1)
                           ("~/Sync/orgs/gtd/tickler.org" :maxlevel . 2)))

(setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t)" "WAITING(w)" "|" "DONE(d)" "CANCELLED(c)")))
