My sole use of Emacs is for Org-Mode (for extensive note-taking, task breakdown, writing reports, etc). I'm glad I invested the time three years ago.

During the upcoming holidays, I should try to explore and "stumble upon" advanced features and neat tricks that I haven't come across yet.




Remember mode could be cool for your use case. It may be integrated into Org by now (?)


Thanks for the suggestion; never heard of it before. Not sure if it's integrated into Org itself; it looks like so. but the Remember Mode seems to have Org as one of its "backends"[1]. Reading the documentation ... section 7.5 (Saving to an Org Mode file) says:

"For instructions on how to integrate Remember with Org Mode, consult Capture"

Okay, let's go and read the documentation of Capture[2]; it says:

"Capture lets you quickly store notes with little interruption of your work flow. Org's method for capturing new items is heavily inspired by John Wiegley excellent remember.el package. Up to version 6.36, Org used a special setup for remember.el, then replaced it with org-remember.el. As of version 8.0, org-remember.el has been completely replaced by org-capture.el."
