This page is part of a bigger context called Markus's Scheduling and self-management System. Following pages are considered being part of this context:

• GTD (Getting Things Done)
• The Schedule of Markus Gattol which links to
  • The index of Markus's to-the-net-published schedule data
• The PIM (Personal Information Manager) system existing of
  • GNU Emacs and some add-on software which is
  • planner-mode and
  • org-mode (current page)

Note, if you are interested in my schedule then please follow the link. The schedule is made with planner-mode and org-mode since those two are my PIM system which runs atop of GNU Emacs.

I even know people who don't use organizers. And people who
don't use Emacs. I swear I've seen some!

I also use planner-mode. I already used it for several years before I also started to use org-mode next to planner-mode.

UPDATE: I am now back to planner-mode (exclusively) after heavily evaluating org-mode for ~4 months. Planner with its underlying Muse layer is simply superior and it does planning more the way I fell comfortable doing it. However, Org is fine as well.
