defcustom group argument value seems incorrect in org-gtd-areas-of-focus.el

Open doolio opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

The following defcustom :group argument value seems incorrect in org-gtd-areas-of-focus.el:

https://github.com/Trevoke/org-gtd.el/blob/751a3ab5fd100c7539946db2168118642cf8d90f/org-gtd-areas-of-focus.el#L41

Should it not have a value of 'org-gtd-areas-of-focus instead? In addition, is this file missing a defgroup form to ensure its customization settings appear under the org-gtd parent group?

There's probably not a right answer to this, but GTD refers to areas of focus as "horizon 2", one of the horizons (e.g. https://gettingthingsdone.com/2011/01/the-6-horizons-of-focus/ ) so I don't know if it's truly meaningful to separate that, because I think (not that I've done any research) that people will think of areas of focus as one of the horizons, more than as a separate thing.

I see. This is actually a part of the methodology I haven't really looked into. Still trying to get horizon 1 ingrained!

And this is a REALLY good argument for leaving areas of focus into horizons! Don't help users do the wrong thing. If there were a separate section for areas of focus, you might want to poke around inside of it, but if it's inside "horizons" you might already know that "now is not the time to look into this."
