I have a txt file open in emacs since 2012 formatted like YYYY-MM-DD Project 1. Daily notes. N.M hours TODO Project 2. Notes I use it to track what I'll have to invoice at the end of the month and why (some customers just pay others want to know what they are paying for) and to plan for the future. Plus a number of discarded A4 papers with a clean rear side filled with short term todo lists. Occasionally they become not so short term v_v I'm using Emacs so I should learn Org mode but that simple file bought me so far so I'm unsure what Org mode will actually gain to me.

My experience introducing myself to Orgmode over the last couple of years has been that I can add new features/syntax as I need them, or not. I don’t care whether my one big notes file can be processed by any tooling other than Emacs itself, and Emacs seems to be forgiving of whatever I do with it. All I really needed to get started was to understand the equivalent syntax to the basic features Markdown would offer.
