Emacs Carnival: This Year, I Will…

This year in Emacs, I expect to do a lot. However, here are some actionable goals for myself that should have a positive impact as I start out 2026.

Org Agenda: Move beyond simple TODO lists. I want to implement a custom dashboard using org-super-agenda to group tasks by context rather than just file.
ob-ipython: Fully embrace Literate Programming. This year, my data analysis scripts live inside org blocks. No more scattered .py files for quick prototypes.
Org Capture: Streamline my intake. I’m aiming for a "one-key" capture system that sorts ideas into the right buckets automatically using template hooks.

GitOps for Emacs: Come up with a solid base and use a GitOps-style workflow to ensure my environment is identical between home, work, and server.
UI Refinement: Try new packages like spacious-padding to give the buffer some room to breathe. I'm also looking into svg-lib for cleaner-looking progress bars and icons.
