Planner and Org

| emacs

As part of my research for WickedCoolEmacs, I’m exploring Org, the PIM
that’s now built into Emacs 22. I like the way it handles outlines,
and the remember templates are handy too. I also like the dynamic
agenda views.

I miss some things about Planner, though. I miss the way I can just
move tasks around in Planner, grouping them together as I organize my
day. I miss the way it was easy to publish a day view that included my
tasks and my notes. I miss little conveniences like +2tue . Maybe I
can hack some of those in. I want to avoid turning org into something
it isn’t, though.

I need to find people who live org and how they do it. John Wiegley’s excellent blog post on using org-mode as a day planner is a good start. Who else is a power user of org? Must read the mailing list to find the tips and tricks people have shared…

Random Emacs symbol: ido-report-no-match – Variable: Report [No Match] when no completions matches `ido-text’.
