Manuel Uberti enjoys writing his journal entries with pen and paper. Lots of people do although I\u2019m not one of them. The fact, as I\u2019m sure I\u2019ve mentioned before, that I have terrible handwriting no doubt has something to do with that. Still, I do understand the urge.<\/p>\n
Uberti likes the pen and paper experience so much that he\u2019s tried to recreate it for writing his blog entries. He\u2019s got a post that describes his Emacs configuration to recapitulate the pen and paper experience<\/a>. This means he uses the aggressively light theme Modus Operandi<\/a> with a variable pitch font. As you\u2019d expect, he uses Olivetti<\/a> to further enhance the illusion of writing on a sheet of paper.<\/p>\n Finally, he uses freeze-it<\/a> so that he can work only on the current paragraph. The idea is to inhibit the natural urge to edit what you\u2019ve written before. I\u2019m not sure what this has to do with recapitulating a bullet journal but I do know that it would drive me crazy. Perhaps that\u2019s an indication I should be using it.<\/p>\n If this sort of thing appeals to you, you can get all the details from Uberti\u2019s post. I\u2019m perfectly happy to write in a normal Org-mode buffer but lots of folks like the feeling of working on a blank page when they write. As usual, Emacs has got you covered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Manuel Uberti enjoys writing his journal entries with pen and paper.
