Hide items that aren't time-relevant by creating and using time-based tags e.g., @weekend

Agendas can get filled with tasks that can't be completed in the current time context. org-when will hide tasks that aren't doable right now.

For example

• Clean the yard :@weekend:

With org-when, this heading will only show up in org agenda on Saturday or Sunday.

(package org-when) (use-package org-when)

1. optionally, customize org-when-time-entries. This is a list of tags and times. It can be customized or set. The default entries are

• @weekend (Sat-Sun)
• @weekday (Mon-Fr)
• @morning (5am-10am)
• @evening (5pm-11pm)

2. In your org agenda configuration, use org-when-skip-if instead of org-agenda-skip-if. e.g.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
        '(("d" "Daily agenda"
            ((agenda ""
                (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-when-skip-if '(todo done))))))))

3. tag your headings with one of the specified tags.
