# Orgmode - your life in plain text
Rainer König
In this talk I'll give you a quick overview of my Orgmode GTD
system. We start with capturing a small project, scheduling
the tasks, doing all and then archiving the finished tasks.
To stay on focus, every morning I build a plan for the day
with the 3 most important tasks first and then some other
stuff that should be done. In this way I avoid getting
pulled down by an endless agenda view that I can't finish on
that day anyway.
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.
In 2016 I recorded a
set of tutorial videos which are available
on my YouTube channel which gained more than 3600 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.
For the Emacs Conference 2020 I created a coupon code EMACSCONF which is valid until December 2, 2020 11:58 AM PST, so you can get the course for the price of €9.99. You can use this code with this link.
