This is how I did my emacs config. Start with basically vanilla, and about once a month I'd pick the one thing that annoyed me the most over the last month and fix it. Solved a problem where I'd go on binges of installing and configuring 18 packages, and then not take the time to learn any one of them very well. Generating a lot of time spent reading docs and looking up keybinds when trying to work.
