This page has quite a bit of overlap with my Org file. That's more for school assignments, appointments, errands, etc. but some sort of integration would be nice. Also, several of "projects" are more like habits I wish to cultivate than discrete actions, and Org-Mode has a "habits" module that would be useful for tracking them
