If none of what you need to do exp= licitly requires Org, you may have to scale back what you learn about Org t= o fit the time you've got. Give yourself permission to accept that the time= you have right now for Org isn't what you want. (I hope that's because you= 're learning lots of other cool things in school.) In situations like thes= e, I like to do just a little each day. Maybe that means reading one paragr= aph a night before bed. It sounds like you're really excited about Org. (= If you are, you've come to the right place. The people here love Org :) Rea= ding about Org would be something fun to look forward to each night. You mi= ght be surprised at how motivating that one little paragraph can be! Workin= g through the manual in this way will give you a good overview of how Org c= an be used and what you personally might use Org it for. > So, if you have any suggestion on how to manage, in Org-mode, projects > with: > * Lot of work to do (many days) > * Short deadline (not enough time) > * High importance (disastrous consequences in my future in case of fail) > * Many of them in the same time > * Progression need to be followed to chose where to sacrifice time to > limit the damages >=20 > I will be happy to read them. :) My suggestion is to not try something new on anything that has a tight dead= line. Org is new to you and learning things takes time. This is all normal.= Life will throw a lot at you. Some times all I get is 20 minutes at the e= nd of the day. Some days, I get nothing at all. This is because I've fille= d my life with other cool things, like a partner, a house, friends, etc. If= I get to spend some time doing something I think is worthwhile (like tryin= g to help a fellow Org enthusiast), that's time well spent in my book. Isn't there some saying that goes like, "every avalance starts as a snowfla= ke?" Read a little, experiment a little, and over time, you'll be surprised= at how much you've learned. You'll get there! =20
