After a dry spell I'm finally booked for enough work to need #OrgMode and #OrgAgenda again to keep track, and when I opened Agenda again for the first time since mid-2025 things were obviously A Mess. 馃挮 Some to-do items had been rescheduled almost 200 times, untracked habits lay forgotten and dying. It took < 5 minutes to clear or triage though, and Agenda became usable again with the peace of mind that work tasks won't slip through the cracks.

Honestly the Org Mode/Agenda system fills the niche of a Bullet Journal (which I also tried for a few years) for me in being easy to come back to after I inevitably drop off from time to time. And that's a good thing, not only because I get to have an organization system even after being away for a while, but because there are stretches of life when a system genuinely isn't necessary and may do more harm than good. It's nice to be able to move fluidly between the states. #Emacs #ADHD

And if you don't understand what my rantings about Emacs are about or what in the heck Emacs is, don't feel bad because 90% of the people in my life don't either, including my husband of 10+ years who I have a whole child with and who's seen me use it as my text editor, file manager, email client, scheduler, and feed reader every day for the past half-decade.

@ljwrites As another guy whose hashtags are #Emacs #ADHD, yes, my wife and kids also think those both describe conditions with which I am burdened
