Well you don't even have to understand it fully, that is what is great about it.
What it is good for is that it gives you maximal freedom in organizing things the way you want. When I start out with a new org file, I just make lists and add functionality when needed.
While with most other todo/organizing applications you tend to be forced in some framework. This is how you should organize, and when you want to deviate things become cumbersome.
And then the other good thing is that editing is FAST (I use evil mode), in most other organizing/productivity tools you have to click a lot. Simple things become a chore quickly.
Freedom + speed = gold
- agumonkey 6y agooh you're assuming that not using org means using another organizer[0].. I just stopped organizing :D who knows, maybe one day I'll finally see the light [0] and I fully agree that most systems are way less ergonomic than emacs
- blablablerg 6y agoHaha yeah I also never planned, I hated it. Still do actually. But one day I was fed up with the chaos in my life, dirty house and minimal productivity that I decided.. I need structure. I realized that the time I invest in structure pays itself out, because I spend less time goofing around. And so started the great journey in finding the best todo system. I started with paper, then google calendar/tasks, todoist and load of other apps until I finally went back to paper. The apps were just too cumbersome. Paper was simple and worked, but unfortunately paper itself is difficult to organize. I always avoided orgmode because well.. I was scared of emacs but eventually decided to give it a go, see what happens. And it was what I have been looking for all along: a simple and flexible system. And vim keybindings are a big bonus :)
