   Orgmode is one of those mysteries to me. Everyone I know who "does it"   
   loves it. Organization is one of my weak spots where I resort to web based   
   calendars of what ever taste (google, microsoft) the company I work for at   
   the moment likes. It does pain me, and I have a one way integrator between   
   google calendar and remind + wyrd for some nice text mode calendaring, but   
   haven't found the energy to integrate meeting invitations.   
      
   My default for oganizing meetings and to dos is a combination of textfiles   
   with dates in them á la (20240415 to get them in the right order in the   
   terminal) and maybe a physical note book if it is super important or if I   
   feel the need to activat the physical writing brain center for some task   
   by doodling/making non-linear notes.   
      
   But yes, orgmode is one of those things I constantly have on my list to   
   check out more in depth. I think I saw orgmode fro vim, but don't   
   remember, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone wrote it for vim as well.
