I don't use #+CATEGORY: anymore. I use properties. I define the top
level task with a specific category and all subtasks inherit the same
property (and therefore are in the same category unless otherwise
specified)
The following are from my todo.org file:
* Tasks :newtask:
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Tasks
:ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* Miscellaneous
:END:
* Anniversaries and Holidays :notaproject:
*** Birthdays
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Birthday
:END:
* Appointments :notaproject:
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Appt
:ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* Appointments
:END:
* Basement :@home:
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Basement
:ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* Basement
:END:
* Health :@home:
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Health
:ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* Health
:END:
The :PROPERTIES:...:END: is normally folded and is not exported (if you
export your org files)
HTH,
