To anyone who's on the fence about trying Org: if organization has ever been a problem for you, I don't think you'll regret giving it a spin. I considered myself a disorganized person for all my life until I started using Org-mode, but not anymore. It's been such a relief to my overall stress/anxiety.
- st1x7 6y agoThat's an argument for having some personal organisation system, not necessarily for org-mode. After multiple attempts of using Emacs and a couple of tries at org-mode I just decided that the time investment that I need to put in a frustrating to learn interface just isn't worth it.
- olivierestsage 6y agoI take your point, but in fact my argument is for Org, specifically. I've tried tons of options, from things like Evernote to very different approaches like GTD with an all-physical tickler file. I also picked up and dropped Org/Emacs a couple of times before they really "clicked" - but once they did, they clicked for good. Obviously no system is going to be the objectively superior choice for everyone, but I think there's a very strong case to be made for Org for anyone who (a) finds the plain-text approach to this problem appealing and (b) wants agenda/calendaring functionality built right on top of the other organizational functions.
