I was today years old when i had the sudden realisation that i could use inactive timestamps (or even active ones should i choose to) as headlines in my #OrgMode files 🤦🏿

I was manually typing dates and then moving trees between them. Now I can just increment the headline date, if I want too! Yippee!

I don’t have to do a cranky #OrgMode ritual anymore. Something’s good about this Monday :)

#OrgMode’s back

#orgmode

so I need some sort of middle ground of … disciplinary flow, I guess?

also with the old life, all I had to do was show up, and do the work. and that was easy to plan and execute

my current life is very amorphous. I have a lot more responsibilities. I have to take care of family. My body broke in 2018 and it requires daily upkeep to function. And I am trying to pivot careers. All of these generate a lot of work. Not to mention the rest of life throwing things at me.

So I somehow need some approach to taming it. and focus on what I need to do.

I’m good at the long term stuff. I know what I want to do.What I need to try. The paths to get there.

What I currently lack is some way of handling daily life. And what to do when life happens all the time.

Current plan: long term stuff - do with #OrgMode. daily stuff - do with #TimeBlocking

What I *also* need to remember to do is ***review*** mesh what i do on a daily basis and see if it is leading me to where I want to be.

#TimeBlocking

When building your time-block schedule, you should first reference whatever calendar or planner or organisation system you use to make sure that you’re adding time blocks for any meetings or appointments you already have scheduled.

The real decision then becomes what to do with the free time that remains.

To help make these choices, next consult whatever external system you use to track and organize all of the tasks, projects, long-term goals, or other obligations for which you’re currently responsible. You want your schedule to help you make progress on the right activities.

(In my case it’s my calendar and #OrgMode)

Left Side Contd:

The metrics box also has a shutdown complete box. **Before you do that though,**
At the end of the day, go through what you’ve done.
Process your time block plan, see what needs moving
Check your tasks and ideas, move them to you digital systems (#OrgMode) if need be
Then go mash that box, knowing that your mind is empty and you can go relax and do home / family / leisure stuff

wrote the last few blogs posts on https://janusworx.com/blog using #OrgMode in #Emacs and then copy pasted them and rewrote them using markdown

Wondering if it’s worth putting in the time, to move #Writing completely to Org mode using something like @kaushalmodi’s #OxHugo
