ORG-MODE ORG-MODE ORG-MODE Jeff, everything you do could be done with org-mode by using a key combination. it would also add a calender with an agenda and schedule and and and and the main thing: it's a text file just like what you are using. this is a nice how to (no relation to me) https://youtu.be/SzA2YODtgK4 https://youtu.be/SzA2YODtgK4

Isn't org mode less portable though? My understanding was that you need an editor plus appropriate tooling for it to really shine, which to me is similar to saying "productivity software" and less like text editing.

  I wouldn't say that it's less portable than using your custom txt file file format. But sure, in order to really make it shine and you'll want to use Emacs and something like orgzly on the phone.

  I'm working on making org more portable (at least bring parts to iOS), via https://plainorg.com https://plainorg.com and flathabits.com. Karl Voit is doing the hard work of rallying folks to promote org markup outside of Emacs and hopefully create a diverse ecosystem under the Orgdown proposal https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown

    Plainorg is awesome. Keep up the great work. The app has enabled me to use the org-mode based plaintext productivity system I've found most effective on my phone. Super useful. Incidentally, the system I use is from Mark Forster's 'Autofocus' constellation of productivity experiments. Unfortunate that his work is not more widely known because it's quite effective (for me at least). Here's a link to the version I use: http://markforster.squarespace.com/blog/2021/11/16/the-final-version-perfected-fvp-instructions-reposted.html http://markforster.squarespace.com/blog/2021/11/16/the-final...

I'm using a markdown big file. What features in org-mode are really worth making me look at it?

  Org is pretty rich. Folks often pick and choose different bits. There's a great writeup that gives a fairly extensive tour: Org Mode - Organize Your Life In Plain Text! http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html
