Copying them (via keyboard shortcuts) to a manually curated daily list provides a condensed daily agenda showing only the tasks he is going to do (when the day goes as planned). + + +### I feel it can reduce some mental stress + + +### Yes, this is it, I want to decide in the morning (I can never do all what is in the agenda) and then I'm no longer overwhelmed by that long agenda. + +- This may also be relevant: + + +### OK thanks - but then why not just create custom agenda views for a) building the daily list and then b) just viewing the daily list without distractions? e.g. via org-super-agenda or org-ql? + +- sometimes I also want to review my previous tasks I've done + + - There is build-in org-agenda-log-mode (v l) to do this. One just need to make sure that the task state changes are actually logged (see \`(apropos "org-log-\*)\`). + + - I suspect that could also be achieved via org-ql or similar but admit it's probably a more complex solution. Just naturally averse to anything which duplicates data and could lead to inconsistencies :) + + - Exactly. It is just very easy to do it in such a format, but it can definitely be achieved by super-agenda/org-ql + + +## How long does it usually take you to manage/maintain your agenda on a daily basis?+2 + + +### Five minutes a day. + + +### Extensively uses org-capture to get thoughts down and schedule things for later — gets things out of head and saves the task for later + + +### Weekly review to go through checklists — usually takes about half an hour + + +## What version of Emacs and of Org do you currently use? + + +### Emacs: 25.3.1 + + +### Orgmode version: 9.1.5 + + +## Do you keep Emacs open with you all day, or just when you need to add tasks or reference todos? + + +### It's open all the day. Two monitor setup, Emacs is always opened on one (usually the non-main one, apparently, but moved back to the main one if necessary). + + +## Where do your notes/tasks end up after you complete them (lurst asked that first on IRC)? + + +### In Archives (missed some details here, sorry) + + +## Do you use orgmode on a mobile device as well? If so how do you do it? + + +### On the road I have a real old fashioned paper notebook with a ballpoint pen ;-) + + +## How did you add the super fast typing? + + +### A) I learned touch typing at school around 45 years ago, + + +### B) kdenlive can accelerate video material. You need to mark it (cut it left and right) and then press SHIFT-CTRL and the Mouse to drag it, that adds the time lapse effect. + + +## Do you export your Org files or Agenda files for others? + + +### I once tried it at work, but it didn't work out. For me Org is a **personal** prodcutivity system and not a sort of groupware. Nevertheless, I have a ToDo keyword "DELEGATED" to monitor e.g. errands that I give to my kids. + + +## Do you use emacs for everything or just a few things like time management, programming, etc.? + + +### Emacs is my primary editor for shell scripts, LaTeX files, even Lilypond (remember that talk in the morning). I wrote all the LaTeX files for the book I prepared for my course in Emacs. + + +## Do you keep your project notes and backup information with the To Do items in your agenda or in separate files? + + +### The notes are all in the :LOGBOOK: drawer of each task. So I have a sort of "micro blog" there that clearly shows what happened with that task so far. I even see all the "RESCHEDULED on…" timestamps which helps me to identify the tasks I procrastinate. ;-) + + +### Not a question but thank you so much for your videos Rainer +1+1+1 + +- You're welcome.
