It seems as if it would be very well suited to use as my work log--I currently just use a regular text file. Since a work log is based around daily entries, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend the best way to use org-mode for such a purpose. I perused the FAQs but didn't see anything. Org-mode apparently integrates with the emacs calendar/diary so there is probably a "right way" to do this. If there's a FM out there that deals with this I'm happy to RTFM. I read the excellent tutorial at http://www.newartisans.com/2007/08/using-org-mode-as-a-day-planner.html about using org-mode as a day planner, but a work log is somewhat different, as it's a recount of the events and tasks worked on during the day. Thanks for you help.
