Daily log 2025-01-21

I’m starting this daily log because there are days when I don’t have a ton to write about (like the past month). But I still want to keep writing to keep the momentum going. So, a daily log seems like a great way to keep track of whatever’s going on in my life.

I spent some time today customizing Emacs to set up this daily log with org-capture-template. It took a bit longer than I expected, but thanks to AI, I finally got it how I wanted. Sometimes I think I might be a little too into automation since, in some cases, the time I save doesn’t really make up for the time I put into setting it all up. Still, it was a fun process, and it’s pretty cool to see how Emacs can be customized in so many ways, and I learned few useful argument in `org-capture-template` as well.
