Description
Most successful students have a go-to system for staying organized. It might be Notion, Obsidian, a bullet journal, or a simple paper planner. The key is finding what fits your personal needs and style. Here's an interesting option some students might not have considered: Emacs. It's a tool that's popular with Linux people, but possibly overlooked by others. For the right person, it could be a game-changer in managing academic life.
This talk is meant to showcase how different Emacs tools integrate with each other to create a cohesive work environment for students.
