    I use org-mode with org-journal https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal

    What's nice about this workflow is when I create TODO items and don't finish them for a day it transfers over to the next day.

  • Your tips for time recording in emacs?
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 22 Aug 2022
    Sounds like org-mode is what you need, particularly clocking like was mentioned in another comment. However your workflow requires lots of customization. Ultimately you need to take a deeper dive into org-mode and what it can do(and how), along with org-clock-convenience with maybe org-journal. Your starting point should always be agenda, not the .org file itself.
  • Do you guys write on a notebook or have a digital file for notes?
    5 projects | /r/computerscience | 30 Jul 2022
    As mentioned elsewhere, I too do a mix (happy to talk fountain pens and paper if you’d like). But for digital, Emacs is the supreme solution. It has tools like Org-roam for Zettlekasten-style notes, Org-journal for a developers journal, Org-babel for literate (or Jupyter-style) explorations. Nothing else comes close. Oh, and the “E” stands for extensible, so if it doesn’t do what you need, you can make it yourself.

    For the second question, 1. try package like org-reverse-datetree and org-journal which can custom data format and level. 2. use file+function in capture template to find the right location in the file. 3. make the function in 2 respect you extend-day-until.

    - type my timestamped notes

    I can do this from any buffer in Emacs, so it's really convenient to stop in the middle of something, jot down a note, and then go right back to what I was doing. I develop iOS/macOS software right now, so the switch to Emacs from Xcode is a little more friction than I used to have, but it's so useful I don't mind it at all.

    I have a weekly journal in a directory for the year, titled week number-month-day that started that week (this week's is `34_08-23`)
