# Orgmode - your life in plain text
Saturday, Nov 28 2020, 1:03 PM - 1:13 PM EST / 10:03 AM - 10:13 AM PST / 6:03 PM - 6:13 PM UTC / 7:03 PM - 7:13 PM CET / 2:03 AM - 2:13 AM +08

This is a talk about Orgmode, my favorite Emacs application. 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.
