The qualification is not fake. To quote from this tutorial[0], the author says: I have been using org-mode as my personal information manager for years now. I started small with just the default TODO and DONE keywords. I added small changes to my workflow and over time it evolved into what is described by this document. I still change my workflow and try new things regularly. This document describes mature workflows in my current org-mode setup. I tend to document changes to my workflow 30 days after implementing them (assuming they are still around at that point) so that the new workflow has a chance to mature. > I'm curious, what, specifically, has it changed about your life? It changed my life by consistently improving my workflow and I've become way more productive by doing it. I got impressed on my self when I automate things that seems difficult and time consuming to manually track. Extending emacs never ends when you keep on finding better ways on how to use it.
