Gregory J Stein has another interesting post on Emacs and Org Mode. This time it’s about how he leverages Org Mode to organize his life and workflow. It’s basically an update to his 2016 post on the same subject. This time he has a lengthy introduction that explains his goals and places his workflow in the context of the Getting Things Done method.
His workflow is a lot like mine except that I put most things into my engineering notebook/journal file including a record of my daily activities, phone calls, and discovery of things worth remembering. As Stein says, his setup works well for him but may not be exactly right for anyone else. Still, it’s a nice basis for anyone who wants to organize his life.
Stein says that his system transformed his life and enables him to plan for the future as well as manage his day-to-day activities. Take a look at his post and see if there’s something in there for you too.
