org mode

org mode is a really powerful tool to keep notes, write documents, use literate programming, keep record of your task, wor times, "organize your life in plain text" and more…

Here we show some basics of org, but there's plenty information about it in the manual and elsewhere.

Checking the manual

To open the org manual using "meta" within emacs:

M-x org-info

Optionally you can use the following keybinding to open a buffer with the info version of manuals:

C-h i

Then, in the buffer type the key "m" to search in the menu by keywords. To find the org info manual, just type "Org mode" in the menu.

Create task list and include date and time

Save a ".org" file. Then write your tasks using "*" to show hierarchy or nesting structure in tasks.

Using Pomodoro in org mode

• Install pomodoro in emacs

M-x [RET] package-install org-pomodoro

• Initialize a clock in a task

M-x [RET] org-clock-in

• Initialize pomodoro

M-x [RET] org-pomodoro

PS: "RET" is the same "enter" key
