*** Organisation #4: Organising yourself
**** Lecture content
***** Objective: have a todo list based on org mode
***** Steps
****** Configure the "org-directory" to be ~/ungleich-learning-circle/USERNAME/
******* This is important as it will be used by the todo function later
****** Extend your function from the organisation #1 session
******* Instead of opening a fixed file, we include two variable parts:
******** The hostname of the machine
******** The year
******* Pressing F3 should open ~/ungleich-learning-circle/USERNAME/learning-$(hostname)-$(year).org
******** we call this "your personal agenda"
****** Configure mu4e to create a org-mode tasks from an email
******* Store these tasks in ~/ungleich-learning-circle/USERNAME/todo.org
****** Configure emacs to open the "org-agenda" with "C-c a"
****** List all TODO entries
****** List the agenda of the day
****** List the agenda of the week
****** Bind F8 to open the "org-todo-list"
****** Create some sample tasks in it
***** From now on, maintaining tasks should be
****** Pressing F3 to open your personal "logfile"
****** Adding a TODO item
****** Pressing F8 to see the tasks with priorities
***** Bonus tasks
****** Configure mu4e to store org-mode tasks in .../todo-$(hostname)-$(year).org
