Personal Configurations

emacs

My emacs configuration dervied from several online resources

• http://www.jesshamrick.com/2012/09/18/emacs-as-a-python-ide/
• https://github.com/jhamrick/emacs
• https://realpython.com/blog/python/emacs-the-best-python-editor/

zsh

I found zsh to be much more convenient: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh Hence include a .zshrc for the plugins and theme I used.

Productivity Tricks

Google Calendar

• In Calendar -> Settings -> General -> Event Settings -> Default Duration to 27 mins. Actually, 27 mins are enough for most meetings, and leave 3 mins to run to the next meeting. Unfortunatelly, there is no reminder to end a meeting.

• Click corresponding calendar and event notifications, set a notification of 3 minutes. The default 10 mins is useless. I seldom take an action if the next meeting is still 10 mins away. 3 mins push you to wrap up what you are doing and get ready for the next meeting.
