Second emacs org-mode.
I use almost nothing out of it. I have the default spacemacs configuration. I literaly just write bullet lists and cycle TODO and DONE states on them. Still the best todo-manager :)

I take big stabs at it becoming my goto. I feel like I've done a lifetime of development to just dance around figuring out this tool.
Do you have any suggestions for making it stick? I'm making 2019 my year to really get emacs and put some time into fun Lisp. Any tips relating specifically to org-mode and not just "how to not quit using emacs" would be greatly appreciated.
Most of my day-to-day development happens in VS Code, most of my in-console or over-the-ssh editing in vim. For interactive/exploratory programming I often grab jupyter notebook.
But having emacs with an org-file open at all times is nice. The bullet lists are pretty :-) And I am slowly branching out to other things that org-mode is capable off. I.e. I started writing a presentation outline in org-mode, then I realized that I could just write the whole thing there and export it to reveal-js html with few key-strokes.
Emacs kinda feel like a weird animal when getting started but that's just muscle memory. The best way to have it stick is to get a better understanding of its power. I wrote a 5 episode tutorial series that should get you on the right path: https://mickael.kerjean.me/2017/03/18/emacs-tutorial-series-...
I like the format. Thanks!
My job has shifted towards ops and managing kubernetes clusters at scale. Since I'm refiguring everything I used to do this year, I figure I might as well try things I always meant to that have been around forever and seem to do it just fine without buying into commercial tools (that largely aren't available for my platform anyway).
Because of my work focus on virtualization, my primary machine is starting to be a mini cluster and I have a 5 node rack adjacent. Being portable between all these environments is becoming an asset very quickly.
Maybe it's silly, but I'm not moving around comfortably in almost anything like I was. World's my oyster I guess.
The video on golfing is great to learn how to "think Emacs": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE2haYu0co8
Avoid using Ctrl; either palm-press or map Capslock to Ctrl. http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_pinky.html
Don't lean heavily on movement commands, the easiest way to navigate around Emacs is searching. Instead of pressing C-p five times or even C-u C-p C-p, just search for the word you're going to with C-s.
Official reference card is good: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/refcards/pdf/refcard.pdf
Steal heavily from other people's configs. Since you're new and you like org-mode see these two files: https://github.com/magnars/.emacs.d/blob/master/settings/san... http://pages.sachachua.com/.emacs.d/Sacha.html#org2b182a5
Hope that helps.
Anyhow, some time ago I came across a blog post where the author wrote some elisp just to copy the stuff from clipboard, save it, link it to the buffer. I don't have the link handy, but maybe this SO answer might help you:
