I use org mode by having a single file and using it as a notebook/journal. I use todos to mark important entries.
I’m comfortable with org mode operations and formatting although I don’t know how to use drawers or properties or what’s the point of archiving. I like using org-ref, and I see a version of that has been added officially this version.
I never learned a more clever way of using org mode. Any tips or guides?
Archiving declutters my org files. I could delete things, but archiving saves me from screwing up, and it's basically for free.
No need to use drawers or properties necessarily. I've got into Properties mostly through realising the incredible power of org-columns, which can turn an org file into something like a spreadsheet at the drop of a C-c C-x C-c. If I'm trying to keep track on the status of a big project, that can be really handy, showing the status of each entry, effort estimates, time spent on them, and really whatever else. (I use this to produce Gantt charts with org-taskjuggler.) And then a C-c C-c and you're back in a plain-old org text file.
