I will talk about a nice journaling workflow I have developed using the
Koutline, from the hyperbole package. I will showcase this workflow and
describe what I like about Koutline and why I use it over other options
like Org Mode and plain text.
About the speaker:
I have used Emacs for 10+ years and enjoyed some of the last
EmacsConfs. To share back, I have decide to share a unique workflow I
have developed, as well as challenging myself by learning how to make
videos to learn some new skills along the way.
# Discussion
## Questions and answers
- Q: extremely interesting point about loss of concentration, i think
with tools like that people who really work alot with text in an
abstract matter could have enormous benefits doing it without being
hypnotized by all the options, i have to rewatch the presentation
again to see nuances, i also would like to see it written somewhere
in a short conciese even maybe stream of conciousness mode. my
question is i hope you don't plan to stop the development of this
wonderful idea, thank you
- A: A lot of people think tools like this and emacs vim are all
about speed, However it is more about staying in flow state can
change the types of thoughts you get. That is the bigger part to
me.
- Q:Do you tend to create outline structure while journalling, or
after you have captured thoughts? Do you change the structure a lot
while capturing it?
- A: Whatever feels good at the time, Saying my day went good for
reasons 1,2,3 is a natural ways of sharding my thoughts that
maps well into outlins. Plus editing them later is always an
option
- The easy keybings for child, same level and parent cell
makes it efficient enough for live journaling
