Org GTD project dependencies and beorg

If you use the org-gtd package in Emacs, and find beorg doesn’t work well with dependencies, you may find this tip useful:

• In beorg use a BEDONE intermediate state instead of DONE for completed tasks.
• Create a hook in Emacs to convert BEDONE to DONE, which will in turn trigger org-edna to update the dependencies.

Combining this with auto-revert in Emacs should ensure that when you sync changes in beorg that Emacs does the ‘right thing’ with your completed tasks.

Thanks to Joe M for suggesting this!
