Over at Mt. Solitary, Clinton Boys has a post on his Org-mode setup. In it he describes how he uses Org-mode to manage all his writing and the rest of his life.
His basic layout is to divide his content into things that go into “normal” org folders and things that go into the folders associated with Org-roam. In addition to capturing tasks and events and adding them to his Agenda, he is meticulous about capturing his thoughts and observations and adding them to his Org-roam based Zettelkasten.
One unusual aspect of his workflow is that he publishes his blog and digital garden directly from Org-roam. Boys provided a link to his Emacs configuration so you can see exactly how he’s set things up if your interested.
As Boys says, he learned a lot from reading others peoples’ configurations and wrote his post in the hopes that others will benefit from seeing how he did things. He believes, as do I, that building your configuration from scratch by yourself rather than using an out-of-the-box configuration such as Doom or Spacemacs has the advantage of helping you learn and understand Emacs better.
