Why I Switched from Bullet Journalling to Emacs: My Org-Mode and Journal Workflow
Going over how I use Org-Mode, Org-Agenda, Org-Journal to organize myself.
Totally forgot to talk more about Bullet Journals and the things I brought over.
Similarities:
- everyday journals with the day's TODOs
- specific pages for specific topics
Differences:
- Instead of moving bullets around, my TODOs stay where they are and I can always see them with org-agenda
Some videos I watched during the transition:
Getting Started with Org-Mode:

Emacs for Writers:

Great video! How do you get the heat map?
You can run ispell to spell check your file
clean
Are you still using org-mode could you do an update
This was very necessary
Nice video, very informative!
Hey Jared. I came across this video again after a while. I wanted to say that I too am a regular Orgzly user- however, for a while now I have been disappointed by the lack of Google Calendar's "alarms" functionality. For example, say I have my class schedule built into Orgzly: I'll only be notified at the precise minute my class starts! This isn't very useful for someone forgetful and scatterbrained like me. There is a possible org-mode fix to this, which is simply to schedule events when you want to be /notified/ about them, not when they precisely start. However, since a lot of my TODOs are imported and converted from .ics files, this is an annoying exercise in regex. I've since started using the org-gcal package. For a few years it was totally broken, as far as I could tell, but now it works fairly well. I recommend you check it out, if you don't know about it already.
Ich werde nie verstehen, warum man sich auf diese Weise selbst organisieren muss. Es reicht ein gewöhnlicher Kalender. Org-Mode ist ein Superprogramm zum Schreiben.
My thinking is that I prefer everything in one place. That includes my journals, agenda, calendar and notes. This is how I used to do things with my bullet journal before I used org mode
Amazing Video
Can you shed some light on the #+SETUPFILE line?
Sure! That's making use of this html theme github.com/fniessen/org-html-themes. Without it, the org file would still be exported to an html file but the default is rather ugly.
Are you running emacs with `-nw` option the --no-window way? What operating system are you using? Are you using spacemacs? Cause I'm using emacs in my ubuntu terminal, and I tried a lot but can not show an inline image in that terminal, so I was confused.
Distro Tube made a video about why we shouldn't use emacs in the terminal. I'm stil new to it, but I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to display pictures unless you're using the gui version. ruclips.net/video/s0ed8Da3mjE/видео.html
Using the GUI. Not sure there's a way to display images in the terminal. At the time I was running Arch Linux however, since then I've just been using Windows but Emacs in WSL2 with Ubuntu.
@@jaredarcilla571 I'm curious how you got around the performance issues of WSL2 while running emacs (27). (I use spacemacs and am aware that doom is faster, but the pure difference between them can't be enormous, can it?) Did you do all your work from the subsystem home directory (I found that unperformant as well)? Also, I ran into unresolvable flickering issues with emacs 27 running on windows natively (without WSL). In case that prompted you to use emacs with WSL2, you might want to consider upgrading to emacs 28.1 (that resolved my issue). Thanks for introducing me to that calendar package, I had no idea emacs had that!
@@agastyam_ I haven't used spacemacs in a while but when I switched to doom in 2019 the difference truly felt like night and day. I missed my linux emacs setup and found that I wanted to go back to linux. So I switched out of using emacs on a virtual machine running linux.
@@jaredarcilla571 Thank you
I have been using Emacs from 2005 to 2018, and together with Org-mode from 2009 (or even before). I dropped it and I have no regrets. But every time I stumble upon videos like these I think: "wow! this is absolutely the perfect tool that you can use to implement the perfect workflow... so why I don't miss it at all?" I mean: why is Emacs+Org-mode not used by everybody in the world instead of the different other solutions that are available right now that are rigid, less powerful, cumbersome, where integrating note taking and calendar is basically impossible? (Of course, I have a bunch of answers, but I would be extremely curious to listen to other opinions...)
Why did you dropped it?
@@jovcemalakovski9148 many reasons. First of all: it is impossible (for me) to properly master Emacs *and* learning emacs-lisp at a minimum working level. The problem is: I would learn lisp only for the sake of learning it or to tweak Emacs and I don't have time for this. Also, the Emacs ecosystem is messy and complicated: for every feature that you want there are 10 different extensions, none of them working/documented, and so on. Again: maybe I feel like this just because of my scarce knowledge of the system itself, but the point is: spending so much time to learn how to use a tool is not something that is valuable to me. Could have been something doable when I was 20 but even then, besides university, I had 1000 things in my life. Right now, another big issue is that basically Visual Studio Code is everything I could want as a developer and it comes like that out of the box. And finally, org-mode requires emacs which requires a PC, which i something that I rarely use -- 95% of the organization of my life happens on the phone.
Why does Emacs look so much more polished than NeoVim? I mean the test rendering and stuff like that. Can you do a video talking about your setup? Has anyone gotten neovim to look this clean and to render this way?
It's because Neovim runs in the terminal while Emacs is a GUI application.
How do you manage to show *bold* as WYSIWYG
Lmk how this works! (setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t)
@@jaredarcilla571 It's something I've been looking for and it's built-in! The manual doesn't refer this at all.. Thank you.
You can add this to the bullet with habits :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: Habits :END: And the will be displayed in agenda as "Habits: Drink Water" for example
Beautiful and concise video, thanks a lot!
What are you using in order to export to html ? My files are ugly af I tried with ox-pandoc but still ugly
Org-html-themes. It's great! github.com/fniessen/org-html-themes
dude, you need to install all-the-icons fonts
Yup I have since then. It was actually I switched to arch 😉
@Quantarius Williams Their profile picture is the logo for arch linux distribution which I use
Great video! I'm especially interested in the calender view you show cased at around 8:20. Which exact package is this? I couldn't find the same in my doom emacs's package list
That would be calfw github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw It's a fantastic package
How do you center the contents of the buffer so there is a margin on both sides? Thanks for the video, I’m just starting with org mode so this gave me some ideas.
Here I'm using Olivetti: github.com/rnkn/olivetti However there's also writeroom mode which I also really like. This one does a lot more in changing org mode into a word processor-like application github.com/joostkremers/writeroom-mode
Nice video, there are some things that are interesting. Do you use org-roam?
Yup! It's definitely coming in handy during school. I also use it to throw some personal org files in there as well like my "habits" org file
How did you "alias" or "map" the double quotes to a QUOTE block or those ">>" to mean "#+BEGIN_SRC" etc.? I don't even know what to call it... I see this for the first time.
It seems this was already included out of the box from doom emacs. I'm not sure which module specifically implements it sorry
Check prettify-symbol-mode
what font is that? thx for the video!
It's Consola Mono. And thanks for watching
Hopeful to someday see your config for agenda, capture templates, calendar Thank you for the video!
Hey I just made it public this month! Most of what you're looking for would just be in config.el github.com/jparcill/emacs_config
The world needs more videos like this. I love it! Keep going. Very often emacs videos are targeted at, for lack of a better phrase, power users and leave new users to fend for themselves. Videos like this and a few others on emacs basics are great to show how powerful emacs is when compared to those other editors.
This is awesome, thanks for making this video. And to think that people think that Emacs is inferior to other IDEs, or that it's "just a primitive text editor". They have NO IDEA how powerful Emacs and org-mode are.
Emacs, paired with a good text editor is like the best OS ever
did you put emacs config on github or anything?
My config still isn't in a state where I'm happy with making it public but I'm slowly working on it
@@jaredarcilla571 It looks like you have a nice setup for org mode. Could you share the org parts? Thanks for the great video!
@@arunrocks Just uploaded it now! github.com/jparcill/emacs_config
Hey! I uploaded my config just recently if you still wanted to take a look: github.com/jparcill/emacs_config
Looks very stylish, what theme are you using?
This is the default Doom Emacs theme github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs Doom Emacs is definitely worth checking out just for the speed boosts alone as well!
@@jaredarcilla571 Is this actually the default Doom Emacs theme? Mine looks nothing like this :o
@@James-xt1ic Looking deeper into it, it seems that this is actually doom-city-lights instead of the default doom-one ! Forgot that I changed it to that
I've fallen in love with doom-rouge recently though and made the switch haha
@@jaredarcilla571 ooh thanks! This is a really cool video, I've been changing the way I do things and discovered some new features with it
Nice video. Curious about a few things. Did you customize org-agenda? Where does that calendar view come from?
That's the emacs calfw! It can be found here: github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw
@@jaredarcilla571 Hi There! As others have said, would you PLEASE be willing to share your org config? This looks amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your workflow.
@@jquark17 Thanks for the reminder. I'll try taking some time to do it this weekend!
@@jaredarcilla571 That would be amazing! Thank you! Honestly, no pressure to even comment on things or make things more "presentable".
@@jquark17 Turns out I had already finished the hard parts of publicizing it! Here you go: github.com/jparcill/emacs_config Most of the things relevant to my workflow are in config.el
