I am not sure, nor I'm sure I care very much about efficiency (in resolving problems) in the first place. But I learn, take notes, and rarely make the same mistake/ask the same question twice.

Pretty much never. I hate asking for help, and will usually find the answer by myself.

Giving the manual a skim and following the built-in Emacs tutorial (C-h t) are probably good ideas, but not much beyond that - you don't need to learn elisp before starting to use Emacs. You'll probably learn it well enough afte

I recently moved my ledger entries to an org-mode file - attaching metadata and things like file links are much easier inside org - chunking them by date and using org-babel to tangle them out. It pretty much works as expected, except for t
