Boost Productivity With Emacs, Org Mode and Org Agenda

Do you use "productivity apps"? If so, Emacs, Org Mode and Org Agenda lets you make todo lists, schedule tasks, manage projects and much more. I've never been a "todo list" or "appointment scheduling" kind of person but the more I play with Emacs and Org, the more I think that I should be doing these things.

Org mode is insane. Installed Emacs Doom, got everything Vim gave me and much more, never going back. The Church of Emacs gets another one.

For years I have been a believer that NeoVim was the end-all be-all of text editors. But alas I have seen the light of your videos. I have begun to learn the evil(mode) ways of Emacs. I have seen that which is Org mode. And Org mode is heckin glorious.

[rackpit]

Using org-mode for years now, still learned some stuff from your vid - thanks!
The key-bindings have never felt unnatural when using them, but listening to you explaining them makes me realize how bonkers they actually are 😂

[debasishraychawdhuri]

I don't understand why it would take so long to understand how good org-mode is. I just set it up using your tutorial and it is absolutely amazing.

I feel like I could dedicate my life to the learning of emacs and specifically org mode, and I would die in peace though not having fully uncovered it's mysteries

[jonathanpopham]

learning org mode has been a goal for me and seeing this video is a push in the right direction. I'm going to get it set up on my new arch installation

DT you caught the Emacs bug

[romixsm]

Yes. It is gamechanger! Ability to combine chuncs of code in different laguagest, todos, agenda, timers, tables.. PERFECT science environment... embeded graphics from python output.. export... omg :)) org capture is very handy also

[tylerbrown]

Org mode may have saved my life in the way it has helped me organize myself and direct my thinking

[jastern]

Great, thank you. Good intro for newbs. I love that you use a great mic. Love seeing audio excellence.
To improve:
1. install and turn on screenkey: to show your keystrokes in real time at bottom of screen
2. provide key binding equivalents for non-Doom emacsen (e.g. "C-c C-t t" to mark as "TODO"): for wider audience

[eomx]

Why don't you use the screenkey program to show what to do on the keyboard?

I was literally just about to learn org-agenda!

[NicolasCavigneaux]

Nice video. It’s really interesting to watch you go through Doom Emacs. I’m a user myself and really like it! Did you know that you can turn on big font mode for your screen casts? All your buffers will have a descent font size for streams and screencast. I think the shortcut is SPC-t-b. Keep up the good work.

Note: 24:00 is the configuration part. I was so confused as my org agenda wasn't showing up the TODO, so checkout that section first then go to the start of the video.

[NicolasCavigneaux]

Also when you want to evaluate some elisp let’s say a setq you can hit C-x C-e and then your emacs instance will use this value so you don’t have to save, tangle and restart emacs. Really neat

Hey DT, what is your opinion about org-roam? Do you mind making a video for it? I think it is a pretty cool extension of the org ecosystem! Awesome video btw!

[techtonic-hf]

Hey DT, that has encouraged me to use org mode again. Thanks for the awesome content.

[dorovich]

thanks! i'm starting to get into doom emacs after having tried out neovim for a couple of weeks and this is really helpful!

[ryanleman]

Holy S, you just described me for 35 seconds straight except for the vim thing

[mikereynolds]

Hope you stick with Doom Emacs and orgmode and keep putting out more videos as you learn/get more comfortable.
Looking forward to more doom/orgmode
PS magit. If you haven't heard of it, look into it asap!
