I read through the README but it seems overwhelming to have 10
directories. I am not saying it is not good just that I will not be
able to handle those. Even now when I have just three main files -
inbox, work and archive, I am very bad at refiling items (I do it but
rarely). I mostly rely on Agenda views to make things make sense for
me. With 10 directories, I will surely never be able to refile
anything as half of the time I will just be spending time in deciding
where the item belongs.

It surely will be good for more diligent people unlike me.
