Hacker News with Generative AI: Organization

The Zen of Task Management with Org (bzg.fr)
I don't use Org Mode to be more productive, but to achieve a kind of "ataraxia" (i.e. a "lucid state of robust equanimity" according to Wikipedia) about the things I have to do: pay my bills on time and enjoy concentrating on my work.

Calendar.org (sourcery.zone)
It’s a while now that I’m trying to use Org Roam’s journal to track my plans. For each day, I’ll have a separate dated file, which I can open with a quick key combination, and if I need some info from other days, I’ll use my project management tooling like consult-ag to find what I need.

Recurring checklists using Org Mode in Emacs (naiquev.in)
Based on my experience of building and maintaining professional and personal/hobby projects, I've come to realize that I often tend to prefer well documented checklists over automated scripts for recurring workflows.

Excerpts from a conversation about personal information management (sachachua.com)
Adam Porter (alphapapa) reached out to John Wiegley (johnw) to ask about his current Org Mode workflow. John figured he'd experiment with a braindumping/brainstorming conversation about Org Mode in the hopes of getting more thoughts out of his head and into articles or blog posts. Instead of waiting until someone finally gets the time to polish it into something beautifully concise and insightful, they decided to let me share snippets of the transcript in case that sparks other ideas. Enjoy!

Ask HN: How do you organize your electronic components? (ycombinator.com)
Capacitors, resistors, micro-controllers, oh my!... god it's a mess. I keep finding spare parts between my toes and under pillows. "Open-Air Desk-top" storage is no longer an option.<p>What types of storage do you use? Are you subscribed to an organizational philosophy? Do you sort your resistors by resistance?<p>Please and thank you ~

Warm Handoffs (luckymike.dev)
Warm Handoffs are a procedure I’ve implemented with several teams and organizations to improve communication and collaboration in Slack. As organizations grow and ownership shifts and splits as teams are formed and re-formed, Slack channels proliferate, and it gets harder for folks across an org to know the right channel to get help for a particular problem.
