Take a look at the proposal to integrate GTD (getting things done) into 
Kontact:

http://developer.kde.org/summerofcode/gtd.html?edit

It would be nice if the KNotes features dovetailed with this effort. And I'm 
definitely in favor of multiple tags. There is a Web app that implements GTD 
using multiple tags and it's great. See MonkeyGTD at:

Anyway, I think GTD offers a great system and that Kontact should aim toward 
it.
