Greg Lucas@jaharmi Do you use Emacs for anything else, or is this a first step? :-)
Org mode is well worth trying regardless, but if Emacs isn’t part of your workflow already there may be some friction.
@glucas This would be a first step.
@jaharmi I’ve definitely seen folks on blogs/social media that only use it for Org, so you wouldn’t be alone.
As a long-time Emacs user the magic for me is how seamlessly it fits into other stuff I’m doing. But I judge any new app in the space against Org’s capabilities, and it holds up.
Good luck, hope you find something that works well for you!
Nick Anderson@glucas @jaharmi org-mode brought me emacs https://cmdln.org/2023/03/13/reflecting-on-my-history-with-org-mode-in-2023/ spacemacs made emacs approachable and comfortable for my vi fingers and the space bindings have really grown on me and all the wonderful emacs things let's me stay in org-mode and intersect with org-mode with hardly any effort. It wasn't a quick process but it's been worth it for me. https://cmdln.org/2023/03/25/how-i-org-in-2023/

Alexandr Burtsev@nickanderson Wow! Great article! I've been using emacs and org-mode for everything for the past 5 years and have never been happier. My workflow is not as complex as yours and I learned a lot of useful things from your text.
Thanks for sharing such a detailed overview of your workflow!

@aburtsev that's great, glad you found some useful tidbits. I keep nudging that post around but I'll probably cut a new post when the year rolls over. What are your favorite features of org-mode? And, what was the most useful thing you found in my post?
@nickanderson I've had some management tasks in the past, and I'm tired of investing time in applications when it eventually turns out they aren't flexible enough to support the custom workflow you need. I happened to stumble across this blog post http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html (you also mentioned it in your post), and it inspired me to invest time in learning about emacs and the org-mode ecosystem.
@nickanderson The second problem was the knowledge base. I've been using Evernote for a long time, but the direction of the company's development has been toward poorly designed enterprise collaboration features, and the problems of regular users have been overlooked. Also, it's always hard to find what you need, refactoring tags is a very time consuming task. So it always seems to me that the OS handles everything better. I mean grep, sed, etc. So I wanted to transfer my knowledge to plain text
@nickanderson In a nutshell:
* The ability to own my data (I backup changes every 4 hours to git)
* A personalized task management tool that supports any workflow I can imagine
* The ability to build an awesome knowledge base
* I don't have to switch between contexts. I.e. I can code, use the knowledge base, track tasks with the same keybinding

@nickanderson Your post inspired me to give a try to `org-roam`. As well as `org-rich-yank`. I haven't heard about the last one.
@aburtsev org-rich-yank is really nice. Significant improvement for my notes and especially during investigation phase of something. I set the link style to comment because the file path is useful to me, but not usually useful for exports like jira.
