The goal +is to show you the power of Emacs when you want to manage and organize +your life. Orgmode is your swiss army knife for that job, and so far +the only tool that you can customize for your needs and you need to +customize yourself to fit the restrictions of a "ToDo list tool". + +Background info: I'm using Orgmode for many years now, and I'm not +exaggerating if I tell you that it saved me from a nervous breakdown +when my wife got diagonosed with severe illness and I was suddenly in +charge of everything. Orgmode was there and reminded me of the +important things so nothing was forgotten and I could focus on what +really matters. + +This talk should introduce people to Orgmode, showing them what they +can do and how it makes your life easier, freeing time for the things +that matter to you. + +I was holding a similar talk at the local Linux Day in our town in + +1. In 2016 I recorded a set of tutorial videos which are available + +on my YouTube channel which gained more than 3500 subcribers because +of those tutorials. In Summer 2020 I recorded the tutorials again for +a course at Udemy which went online in October 2020 and is +supplemented by a 100+ pages course book. + + + + +Back to the [[schedule]] + +All times are approximate, and we might shuffle talks around as needed. Please check https://emacsconf.org/2020 a few days before the start of the conference for instructions on how to watch and participate. + +[[!meta title="Orgmode - your life in plain text"]] -- cgit v1.2.3
