My BASB Implementation in Org Mode
The author describes their BASB implementation using Emacs Org mode, focusing on configuration choices and workflow design. They highlight the use of org-reverse-note-order to insert new headings at the top and rely on org-roam's daily notes for journaling. The setup organizes templates and journal files in separate subdirectories to keep the system performant and maintainable.
- ▪The global configuration includes setting (setq org-reverse-note-order t) so new entries appear at the top of headings.
- ▪Journaling is handled with org-roam's dailies, using separate daily files rather than a single org file.
- ▪All journal templates are stored as full Org files in a dedicated ~/org-roam-repo/templates directory for easier editing.
- ▪Journal entries themselves are kept in a ~/org-roam-repo/journals subdirectory to reduce clutter and improve performance.

If you are unclear about anything, please reach out on the socials and I’ll do my best to clarify. Reminder: I use the term BASB to refer to the solution we’re building in Org. I’m sure I’ll update this page more than a few times, but expect I’ll write a new version after enough time passes. Global Configurations There aren’t that many global configurations I want to call out at the top. Generally, I write my init file in org, add packages and comments that I want to try, and add in commands I want to keep handy to my general.el keymap.
