I've put together a post that I wish had existed when I started exploring emacs a couple years back. People often talked about how cool magit or org-mode are, but I never really understood why. I'm hoping that this post detailing some of my workflows can help other people see how some of us are using emacs to keep ourselves organized and productive.

I've also tried to include installation and configuration instructions where relevant.

My blog doesn't have any kind of tracking or ads, by the way. I have a compulsion to blog and doing so feels productive, beyond that I don't question it :P
