+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Do you use these unentangling techniques in a blog or hosting a
+ zettelkasten?
+ - A: Well, I try to keep my \"private notes\" in something that
+ might qualify as a Zettelkasten, yes. I wouldn\'t say I \'host\'
+ it \-\-- it\'s not online. But yes, the whole point is that
+ these \"private\" notes are interconnected in a Zettelkasten-y
+ way (using org-roam package)
+ - Denote notes Silo features might be useful with your
+ workflow
+ - <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/denote#h:e43baf95-f201-4fec-8620-c0eb5eaa1c85>
+ - oh, thanks \-\-- I\'ll have a look!
+- Q: What is the biggest unhappiness you haven\'t figured out for your
+ current workflow?
+ - A: Maybe I am still on the fence re: where do I structure my
+ TODOs and clock time. I tried to play around with the idea that
+ I structure the work in a repo, and then when I \"clock in\" it
+ saves time to a separate notes file instead\... but it seemed a
+ little too complicated, to my taste.
+ - I feel that the time tracking also kind of annoying,
+ especially you forgot to clock on and all the things mess
+ up. So right now I\'m just using a Pomodoro technique, 25
+ minutes, done, rest, 25 minutes, rest, and kind of repeating
+ that. And I\'m quite happy with that.
+ - wait, what\'s that? \'org-pomodoro\'?. sounds
+ interesting\...
+ - It\'s not, you know, special for Org Mode. It\'s
+ kind of a general technique which you focus on a
+ small task for just 25 minutes, but at the time
+ you\'re super focused, 100% focused, and after that
+ five minutes you rest, and you\'re kind of repeating
+ these patterns over long sections. You can do four,
+ five, six of those sections, and it helps me to
+ focus over relateive long time.
+ - I also feel this might be something really
+ useful. Just haven\'t found a way to incorporate
+ it into my workflow
+ - for me it\'s quite simple is I can just use
+ a simple stopwatch that every 25 minutes
+ stop and reminde me  a rest. I believe
+ there\'s a lot of fancy clock specialized on
+ this this type of technique it\'s at the
+ core of this concept is really not a complex
+ idea.
+ - wait, I\'m confused. So, that\'s outside
+ Emacs right? :-)
+ - Yes, the concept is outside of
+ Emacs, but I saw people using this
+ package. Let me search,:
+ <https://github.com/marcinkoziej/org-pomodoro>
+ \<\-- yeah, that one. Maybe I\'ll
+ have a look, thanks!
+ - Yeah, it\'s, again, if you\'re
+ familiar with the sports, it\'s
+ kind of making your long hard
+ working, breaking into a small
+ section, but I feel it\'s, you
+ have more kind of energy over a
+ long term, yeah.
+ - I like Using a weekly GTD log files for my TODO. That way I
+ can look back at them and not have my GTD to big. I like to
+ pull daily tasks from agenda
+ - and what do you do to transfer stuff between the weeks
+ \-\-- a manual review? 
+- Q: Do you use project.el features as well, or just projectile.el
+ ones?
+ - A: Ugh. OK, I am at that point where I am not sure any more ;)
+ it is pretty well integrated to my Doom Emacs, so I am not sure
+ which one is that\...
+
+## Notes
+
+- GNU Hyperbole already supports this with directory-specific quick
+ access button files (which can be Org files).  These can connect to
+ any number and type of document artifacts, including projects,
+ repos, directories, etc.  You don\'t need to put any code in
+ dir-locals either.  The directory/project-specific tags jumping
+ (automatically selecting appropriate TAGS files) is also built-in.
+ Have a look.
+ - Yes, there\'s clearly a few ways to achieve this. I have a
+ feeling Hyperbole achieves this, and much more. I wanted to have
+ something simpler, somehow.   (Yes, you seem to have some very
+ efficient techniques down; maybe you could utilize both). 
+ Thanks for the talk, it was good. Thanks for the suggestion,
+ tho!
