Prot, you truly have a talent for teaching/instructing. Never have I seen such a thorough and clear explanation of org-mode despite it being such a prevalent topic in emacs tutorials. The video was entertaining even for a person who knows all this stuff, frankly! Thank you for what you are doing here on UA-cam.

Im completly new to this, and other intro videos lost me pretty quickly. This video here was exactly the pace an clarity needed. I might finally try it because of this once I come out of the emacs config jungle.
Evaluating (setq org-log-done 'time) will set CLOSED property after completing any task, for anyone that want to set this behavior. Great intro for org mode Prot!
Hello, thanks for doing this! I would add, because there is some confusion around this, that you can add an appointment or an event to your agenda just by adding a anywhere in or below a heading (it doesn't even need the TODO keyword). The "Scheduled:" keyword is meant for tasks that you want to do on a given date, but it also implies that the org-agenda will keep reminding you every day after until you mark that task as DONE (or you remove the TODO state). So, for example, you can schedule to call your mom tomorrow, and if you don't do it, the agenda will keep reminding you. But you should not schedule something when there is no point to be reminded about it the days after if it's not possible to do that thing after that day (like a one-time event). In that case, you can just create a TODO heading with a .
I'll be looking forward towards your literate programming video/lesson! Personally, i would be interested to learn how to better manage / make sense of my larger software projects, utilizing Emacs.
Very well structered intro to the Org Mode universe. Suggestions for further videos: - Code blocks - CSS stylesheets for webpublishing - Structuring your .emacs file with Org mode - Your favourite packages with regard to org mode.
thank you! this is very helpful! your themes and fonts are awesome too! however, is there a way to write (level 0 heading) text between the heading? i googled it but it only possible through list, not heading.
@@protesilaos i see, thats too bad. im new to emacs and there're lots of things to explore, although i just use it for taking notes. very glad i found your works :)
if I meta+return on a heading with subheadings, it will make another heading directly underneath that will absorb the subheadings (!) rather than create a new outer-level heading AFTER the subheadings.

Strange... Before I clicked the "publish" button UA-cam was informing me that everything was ready. Now it says "Processing up to HD...". I guess it will change in a few minutes.
Quite often, just after a video is uploaded, only the lower resolution versions are available until youtube is finished processing. Sometimes creators avoid this by publishing the video private at first until it's ready and then making it public.
@Harmony Indeed. I always let it complete everything before I publish the video. Not sure what happened there. Besides, the processing took a very long time: it was at least double the usual one for videos of this length.
This is amazing, as a beginner in Emacs, I love this hand-on videos.
Thank you!

this is an amazing introduction to orgmode. I've been looking for something like this for a while.
This is the best org-mode intro I've see so far and I've watched many!
I will definitely recommend it my colleagues to consider learning it.
Thank you!

Indeed. There are lots of technicalities to consider. Most of Org is that way.

ty for the awesome video, prot! 🎉
You are welcome!
Love the content Prot', I've been using org-mode for a couple years now but never got to use the agenda, this might make me take the jump!
Good to know!
Pellucid explanation, as always!
Thanks!

You are welcome! Indeed, you cannot have such a heading in between.

Thanks for making videos again!

What is the name of the bar where Prote has a rainbown?
That is the "mode line".
if I meta+return on a heading with subheadings, it will make another heading directly underneath that will absorb the subheadings (!) rather than create a new outer-level heading AFTER the subheadings.
Oh, I now realise that I have changed the user option 'org-insert-heading-respect-content'. Its default value is nil, but I have set it to t.

When you pressed tab on an item in the agenda and it took you to the location I got chills

Can't watch. Too bright. :-(
Maybe you can decrease your monitor's brightness?
