• Org Mode

  Org-mode is a powerful system for organizing your complex life with simple plain-text files. It seamlessly integrates all your

  • notes,
  • mindmaps,
  • TODO lists,
  • calendar,
  • day planner, and
  • project schedules

into a single system that can be easily

• searched (e.g. by grep),
• encrypted (e.g. by GnuPG),
• backed up and synced (e.g. by Dropbox), and
• imported/exported, (e.g. on an iPhone or Android smartphone).

It can even be used for authoring web pages and documents.

• GTD using Org Pomodoro using Org I always start a clock when I work on a task. And for the Pomodoro technique I use also the org-timer module with some configuration.

  Activate the org-timer module: (add-to-list ’org-modules ’org-timer)

  Set a default value for the timer, for example: (setq org-timer-default-timer 25)

  Modify the org-clock-in so that a timer is started with the default value except if a timer is already started: (add-hook ’org-clock-in-hook (lambda () (if (not org-timer-current-timer) (org-timer-set-timer ’(16)))))
