People sharing their personal experiences like this is always a treasure trove. In contrast to "how-to" articles, we can catch a glimpse of your experiences without having to come up with smart questions or infer intended uses from an instruction booklet. #emacs #orgmode #experiences .

@screwlisp That was my thinking. I've been using org-mode for what? Three weeks? Surely there are people more qualified to write a how-to, but what I can do is provide an example of how the technology is actually proving useful in a real-world sense.

I've had a similar epiphany with org mode recently! I've used it for ages for work, but with respect to home chores the .+ and ++ repeaters have been a game changer for remembering to do stuff. I use Orgzly Revived as well so I can see that list on my phone 😀

oooh, an Emacs blog post! Is it okay if I add jlamothe.net/blog/feed.atom to planet.emacslife.com so that it's easy for people to discover your future blog posts? I can add an Emacs-specific feed instead if you happen to have one (or want to make one).

@Sacha Chua You're welcome to do so, but it's not really an Emacs blog, nor does it have anything resembling a regular schedule. My last blog post (before this one) was over a year ago.

@Sacha Chua FWIW, the next blog post idea I'm kicking around is "finding a privacy-respecting continuous glucose monitor" which (probably) will have nothing to do with Emacs.

ah, it's infrequent enough that I don't mind if other topics get in there. 😀 Thanks for sharing what you're learning!

We use the same URL scheme for our blog posts (isn't it so nice?).

I used to use Org's to-do features a lot but I've recently gone all simple, I bought a really small notebook that can fit in my pocket. I jot down to-dos and notes as I go about my day. I'm not tied to my computer or my phone. I love that. I love how simple it is. I still use the Org Agenda to keep tabs on things that have a schedule or a deadline, though.

@Aziz @Jon's Blog Yeah, for me, it's about the auto-repeating tasks. I can't get that with pen and paper, otherwise I'd go that route too.

I'm trying to take the lowest tech route possible these days.

Exactly.
