The world is full of possibilities. A person life is rather short
though, and one can easily end up carry on without focus.

In this short talk I want to share how Org mode empowers me into
organizing and monitoring my tasks to make sure I am working towards
achieving my vision.

The emphasis of the talk is on defining a direction, monitoring the
progress towards your planned destination, and keeping a trail of your
actions to review and set up a healthy feedback loop.

Tools for the job that I will (at least) mention: Org files, Org
agenda, Org archive, org-ql, and Org-roam.

# Questions


## For how many years have you used Org?


### 7ish. I started during my PhD because it was the easiest to fit in. And programming in OCaml was so nice in there :)


# Notes


## Andrea: I will reply questions inline, and you can reach me on IRC (username: \`andrea)


## Tagging tasks with tags like 10yr, 5yr (how many days that task will have impact on life / future)


## The table-like weekly reviews may also be produced with org-ql dynamic blocks: <https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql#dynamic-block>
