After a hiatus of almost 4 months, Rainer K\u00f6nig is back with another video in his excellent series of Org Mode Tutorials<\/a>. If you haven’t been following along, be sure to click on the above link to the play list. There’s a ton of useful information in those (31) videos. <\/p>\n

The latest video deals with bulk actions<\/a>. The idea is that if you have an Org mode agenda up, you can mark some of the entries and then perform an action on them all at once. That’s much easier than repeating the same action multiple times. K\u00f6nig’s example is archiving all the completed TODO items in his agenda. <\/p>\n

I have a similar use case. Periodically, I bring up an agenda list of all the items in my blog ideas queue that I haven’t acted on. Usually they’re items that I decided weren’t interesting enough to write about or that had become too dated. I mark the ones I want to get rid of and then do a bulk cancel on them. They’re still in my blog ideas file, of course, but they no longer come up in the list of pending ideas. <\/p>\n

The latest video is about 12 and a half minutes so it should be easy to schedule. Again, if you haven’t been following K\u00f6nig’s tutorials, head on over to his play list and start going through them. They are the best<\/i> resource I know for learning about Org mode. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
