I know this may be a dumb question, but: are there any guides about using #orgmode? Not about how to use, they key bindings but rather how to it effectively - like how big files are best and so on. I know this should come from experience, but since I'm only 6 months in #emacs, having some inherited knowledge would be very useful!

@ms I can heartily recommend http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.htmlAlso, Rainer Königs youtube series on orgmode were very helpful to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQS06QjnkccHope this helps! But eventually, you'll find out what works for you.

@ms I have written about my history with org-mode https://cmdln.org/2023/03/13/reflecting-on-my-history-with-org-mode-in-2023/ and gradually nudge along this ongoing post about how I org in 2023 https://cmdln.org/2023/03/25/how-i-org-in-2023/What's best is very personal. For me big files were not best. I really like this pattern of daily files. My most often used set of daily files is my work log. I try to keep a note (and clock time) for each thing I do through the day. Notes might stay there, or be linked to from there if they are voluminous#pkm #emacs #orgmode

@ms I'm working on writing up my approach right now, so I'll hopefully ping back when it's done.Tasshin wrote some things a while ago. Not sure if you're an emacs maximilist or open to more mixed approaches.https://fortelabs.com/blog/building-a-second-brain-in-emacs-and-org-mode/These are obviously both from the "Second Brain" perspective.

@ms It is sooo personal. Lots of us have show "how I use it", which might help you, but maybe not.What worked for me was just starting with a notes of a file per subject, and getting to know org. Then I made a file per project and started experimenting with tags, TODOs and agendas.When I found projects that needed a lot of files, I expanded those to directories ... so you see, since org is just text files, you are never locked in to anything particular. I've used woccur to change a thousand files when I felt the need, but usually, don't worry about it too much.(That said, perhaps we should all come together to write an org book where each person took over a chapter to cover stuff like this).

@ms You post prompted me to finally finish writing this down (and probably hitting publish a little too early... but who's counting). Hope it helps a bit.https://www.ftwynn.com/series/building-my-basb-in-emacs-2023-capstone-report/

@ms I use it for a lot of things. Everything from taking notes while doing research, keeping track of TODO lists etc (I don't use agenda, just like the convenience of having a keybind to mark things as done and the markup ability for bold/emphasized text, and even math equations with LaTeX). I also use it for literate programming examples and tutorials, because org-babel is just so darn good. I also use org-mode for writing posts to my blog.TL;DR: It's my go-to when plain text just doesn't cut it.
