# An example of a cohesive student workflow in Emacs

Most successful students have a go-to system for staying organized. It
might be Notion, Obsidian, a bullet journal, or a simple paper planner.
 The key is finding what fits your personal needs and style. Here's an
interesting option some students might not have considered: Emacs.
It's a tool that's popular with Linux people, but possibly overlooked by
others. For the right person, it could be a game-changer in managing
academic life.

This talk is meant to showcase how different Emacs tools integrate with
each other to create a cohesive work environment for students.
