Mats Tage Axelsson over at Linux Hint has the first in a series of posts about planning your life with Org Mode.
This first post focuses on scheduling and capturing with Org-mode. There’s not anything new for those already using Org-mode but it’s a good introduction to Org. I’ve written before that Org is so big and complicated that it can be intimidating for new users and that the optimum strategy is to begin by learning and using just one or two of its features. This post is a good introduction to some of Org’s most popular functions: scheduling, capturing, and the agenda.
If you follow Axelsson’s sample setup, you’ll have the beginnings of an excellent TODO application that can be expanded to many more functions as you get familiar and comfortable with it.
